Role
Who you are
- An empathetic, pragmatic, and collaborative approach to problem solving. Done is better than perfect
- A strong growth mindset. You’re comfortable learning new things quickly. Unknowns are new frontiers waiting to be discovered
- Experience designing architectures with strong interface boundaries and separation of concerns. Your craft is deeply rooted in SOLID design principles
- Thorough understanding of writing web applications with Rails. You probably have at least 5 years of experience with Rails or 7 years with a similar web framework (e.g., Spring, Django, Node.js)
- Experience designing performant data models with MySQL. You have strong opinions on how to structure data in an RDBMS. You know when and how to use indices and when to denormalize data. You have battle scars from debugging and fixing slow queries
Desirable
- Experience with modern cloud technologies such as AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform
- An understanding of job systems for Ruby on Rails such as Sidekiq
- A deep understanding of MySQL
- Have experience in scaling a web application to thousands of users and millions of events
- Knowledge of in memory datastores like Redis
- You can empathize with companies that run 100’s of applications or microservices
What the job involves
- Work with product, UX, and fellow developers to gain a deep understanding of customer problems and lead development of features to solve those problems
- Hold a high bar of personal technical excellence, demonstrated through high quality, thoroughly tested, and exemplary code contributions and reviews
- Contribute to our culture of “you build it, you own it” by listening to your spidey sense and identifying tech debt or other opportunities to improve our technical architecture
- Discover, propose, and evangelize the latest & best practices in Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, and database design
- Build private and public GraphQL API’s that power the OpsLevel front-end experience and CLI capabilities
- Lead technical explorations and create PoC prototypes to discover then build the best solution
- Execute projects in a timely manner, helping the team communicate when they are on or off track to meet goals
- Leverage your years of experience by being a mentor and investing in the growth and success of those around you
- Participate in our oncall schedule, where you may be required to troubleshoot across our core technical stack (Ruby on Rails, VueJS, GraphQL, and MySQL)
Our take
New compound titles like DevOps, DevSecOps, and the rise of Shifting Left have developers involved in far more operational complexity than ever before. With developer talent relatively thin on the ground, burnout and high turnover is not one that employers can run. Nor can companies afford to have overworked developers compromising on software security. OpsLevel’s developer portal offers a suite of microservices designed to reduce the time developers spend on rote work, as well as simplifying and centralizing crucial operations.
The need for tools and platforms like this that help to rapidly build and scale software is increasingly crucial. So we’re seeing a lot of developer productivity tools crop up - and the market begin to swell to over $50B globally. This gives OpsLevel a lot of room to grow, even with giants like Amazon joining the scene.
OpsLevel’s founders bring a substantial amount of on-the-ground experience to their product, and have crafted a portal used by top-level customers like Duolingo, Hootsuite, and Zapier. In a market that’s looking strong, it's holding its own - and growing fast.
