About the role
Hiring a senior backend engineer to join our team and focus on system architecture behind a lot of our most popular products.
Things you'll be working on
- Architecting and implementing backend systems in Typescript/Node is the core of what you’ll be doing. Real examples include:
- Designing and building an ingestion pipeline for Replo Analytics (> 99.99% uptime on Kafka, Clickhouse, Redis)
- Building out an A/B testing platform (Cloudflare)
- Spiking on our CI platform to improve stability
- Deploying a multi-tenant NextJS app to render pages on Cloudflare and automatically revalidate in response to queued webhook handlers
- Mentoring junior engineers on best-practices
Looking for someone who
- Can be hybrid in San Francisco.
- Has deep knowledge in distributed systems and SOA — load balancers, databases, queuing, caching, HTTP, APIs, high-availability, fault tolerance, redundancy, at-least-two-of-everything.
- Down to do full-stack work (including frontend even if it's not your main role).
- Is ALWAYS SHIPPING. We don't spend weeks planning features at Replo.
- Has 4+ years of professional experience with production distributed systems, service-oriented architecture.
- Proficient in Typescript. If you have experience writing these systems in Python/Go/Java that’s cool too, as long as you’re willing to learn Typescript/Node — the learning curve on writing TS isn’t that high for high-caliber engineers. Experience or working knowledge of React is great too, but we can teach you that if we need to.
- Has a product and customer-focused mindset.
- Has experience being burned by deployment and maintenance issues. If you have a strong opinion on how backend systems should be built, that’s good.
- Values writing clean, maintainable software, including documentation (e.g. the code needs to be correct and run fast, but we’re the ones that have to read it and understand it).
- Is comfortable with ambiguity and defining software architecture patterns to solve customer pain points.
Bonus points if you
- Have started a company before
- Enjoy attending hackathons
- Worked at an early-stage (Series A or earlier) startup previously
- Have not wasted hours interview-prepping on Leetcode
- Have an eye for visual design (or past experience in product design, Figma, etc).
