Our team uses Notion to plan, Figma for UI design, Markdown for documentation, GitHub Actions and CircleCI for CI, Docker Hub for images, and Slack/Zoom for communication. We have a semi-monthly all-company Zoom meeting and operate with a written, asynchronous culture.

We provide runbooks and escalation policies and support from an on-call EM.

• Work on Linux or Mac, choosing the platform that suits you best.
• Use your preferred IDE/editor and collaborate across teams with a pragmatic approach.
• Develop and review features for the local development product as part of a distributed team, including performance and scalability improvements, in six-week cycles, with self-directed work between cycles.
• Plan and track work with GitHub issues and ZenHub or Notion; document in Markdown; build and ship images with Docker Hub; communicate via Slack and Zoom.

You are an engineer who enjoys product development and has a passion for networking and distributed systems. You are motivated to empower developers through microservices and Kubernetes, understand customers and their problems, and execute with purpose. You have a strong track record of using Golang to build products and some direct exposure to Kubernetes. You value creating WOW experiences while continuously improving, and you prefer a fast-moving, non-bureaucratic environment.

We move quickly. If the fit feels right on both sides, you can join the team in a few weeks.
