The role

What you’ll do

  • Define SLOs with the business and build the measurements behind them
  • Debug across Kubernetes, databases and TypeScript traces, and write application code too

What you’ll need

  • Infrastructure experience at a company somewhat larger than Ashby, handling millions of data points
  • A track record of automating provisioning, monitoring and releases
  • Comfort with SQL and helping engineers design faster data models
  • Strong written communication for an async team with no project managers

Good to know: Remote in the UK. Pay ranges from £151K to £246K, plus equity. Unlimited holiday and in-person meet-ups at least twice a year. Stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, Redis on AWS.
