Role
Who you are
- Current senior engineer, or highly experienced engineer with 5+ years of experience in software development
- Understanding and hands-on experience with scalable distributed systems, including proficiency in languages and tools such as Node.js, Rust, PostgreSQL, Kafka and Terraform (AWS experience is a plus)
- Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of implementing and supporting solutions that scale to complex and high-traffic applications
- Excellent communication skills to effectively partner with teammates and managers, and the ability to commit to and execute priorities
- Commitment to improving performance and reliability across backend services, including participation in on-call processes to quickly diagnose and resolve issues
- If you don’t meet all of the qualifications but think you could be a match, we’d still love the chance to review your application. At Bubble, we encourage people from all ages, abilities, and experiences to apply
What the job involves
- Our Platform team executes on our scaling, reliability, and enablement efforts as we look to double our customer base over the next few years. Our scope includes both scalable infrastructure, and our core backend software systems
- You’ll tackle challenges faced by the largest cloud providers with a small, elite team. This position offers an opportunity to be at the forefront of building a platform that is reshaping the traditional engineering stack for the entire world. Additionally, you'll help foster an inclusive, effective, and collaborative engineering culture. This role includes after-hours/on-call availability
- Implement the Bubble infrastructure that can scale to infinitely many apps of any size and complexity
- Improve performance and reliability across all backend services to scale our efficiency, capacity management, and data tier
- Design and implement observability across core parts of the system, define and implement SLOs, and work on an observability platform that exposes performance characteristics to end users
- Support billions of requests across a platform that supports arbitrary end user applications by designing, building, and iterating on core backbone services
- Build the workflow engine and scale the data tier that supports petabyte-scale ingest, export, and workflows for arbitrary direct-to-consumer applications
- Build our next-generation cloud which will have multi-region and multi-cloud high availability, and all of the infrastructure and build services that support it
- Participate in our triage and on-call process (along with the rest of the engineering team) to quickly diagnose and resolve issues, and implement the changes that will stop their recurrence
- While we do not require new hires to be experts in our tech stack on day 1, familiarity and a willingness to learn fast is helpful. Our tech stack includes:
- Frontend: Typescript, SolidJS, React Native
- Backend: Rust, Typescript, Node.js
- AI/ML: Python, LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), LangChain
- Infrastructure: AWS, CDK / Terraform, ECS, Redis, Postgres
- Data & AI Workflows: JSON-based app representations, proprietary datasets
Our take
More people than ever are interested in starting a digital product business such as a SaaS, social network or marketplace, but getting started is tough. Creating tangible proof-of-concept products generally requires software development skills, and without experience in coding, this usually results in expensive programmer hires.
Bubble provides a no-code software development platform, allowing its users to build SaaS apps, dashboards, CRMs, marketplaces, social networks, and other web or mobile-based software applications without coding experience. The platform allows users to navigate prototyping, launch, collaborative iterative development, and unlimited scaling through simple drag-and-drop interfaces, allowing anyone to develop software without the need for programming experience.
No-code software development startups have been growing in popularity and this undeniably presents significant competition for Bubble, but their all-in-one approach to design, functionality, and management gives them a cutting edge over similar niche-focussed alternatives. The company claims that through its platform, businesses can launch and develop products at a much faster rate due to increased accessibility to software development, without the need for expensive hires and infrastructure.
