Job description

Engineers who can explain Persuasion to a skeptic and still ship by Friday tend to thrive in our Principal Software Engineer role in Bozeman. At CloudScale Systems, $138,000 - $214,000 buys a principal seat, but 9 years of Redis buys you the ownership that comes with it.

Key Responsibilities

• Keep CloudScale Systems's Kubernetes CI under ten minutes so Bozeman, MT engineers stay in flow
• Keep the technology Kubernetes service humming through Bozeman's holiday traffic surge
• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at CloudScale Systems can explain
• Sketch Coaching sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
• Own data integrity across CloudScale Systems's Elasticsearch stores so Bozeman numbers never lie

What You'll Bring

• A MT work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
• Willingness to commute to Bozeman, MT or work flexibly as needed
• Principal-caliber judgment about when to elevate and when to take X
• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
• A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
• Hands-on Ruby on Rails experience that survives a whiteboard interview

Three things define CloudScale Systems: a Bozeman address, a low-drama culture, and a near-religious devotion to Kubernetes. We celebrate the person who asks the dumb question that saves the whole technology project.

At CloudScale Systems, $138,000 - $214,000 is just the opener; the mentorship, benefits, and Bozeman, MT flexibility are where the offer gets good.

Hiring as we speak in Bozeman, with daily reviews still underway.

Your Persuasion story isn't finished, and the next chapter might be a Principal Software Engineer role here.
