    This role is with our partner company that is actively hiring:
    Fimio

    About the company

    At Fimio, we are designing a protocol similar to git but for builds and their meta-data. The reason why we are doing this is we believe now more than ever, that all developers should not be afraid of working with servers and deploying applications into production. Our goal is to build a protocol and ship developer tools around it to make working on the server simple and straightforward.

    A note from our CEO

    My goal at Fimio is to create tools that are the quintessence of their genre. At Fimio, we spend a lot of our engineering effort building products that beautifully bridge the knowledge gap between infrastructure and code. Here are a few essays that have served as inspiration for our worldview with regards to developer tools:

    About the Role

    We are looking for a staff engineer to join our team and work on our platform. We want someone who is deeply interested in improving the user experience for developers with regards to how they build their applications and deploy them to the cloud. We work on a micro-service architecture and our back-end consists of a node app and a python app. We use Kubernetes and this role will be responsible for our Kubernetes cluster. I am looking for someone who can come in to have shared ownership of the codebase and innovate it.

    The right candidate will need to be interested in understanding build systems, security, as well as have a passion for great user experience and design. I believe developers need to have the best tools and deserve to build with tools that are lovingly designed and are aesthetically pleasing, and I hope you feel the same!

    Finally, we are a lean shop, so every employee will participate in customer support and fill multiple roles.

    This role will report to the CEO, and will need to be able to work in office in San Francisco with the team, currently 1x/week.

    You will:

    • Write fully reproducible, repeatable, and secure code
    • Consistently attend developer events to evangelize and support recruiting
    • Assume leadership of new projects, from conceptualization to deployment
    • Participate in all aspects of software development, including design, implementation, and deployment
    • Collaborate across time zones via Slack, GitHub comments, documents, and frequent video conferences
    • Test software thoroughly to ensure responsiveness and efficiency; show a demonstrated ability to both diagnose and prevent these problems
    • Write clear documentation (technical and internal), tests, and recommendations for technical problems
    • Drive helpful conversations around technical issues and engineering practices, identifying improvements and remediations as you see them
    • Review code and provide thoughtful, constructive feedback during code reviews
    • Triage, reproduce, and debug issues reported - give and receive feedback to grow yourself and the team
    • Provide compassionate technical mentorship, pairing opportunities, and code reviews to encourage the growth of others
    • Deliver complex code/features with quality and supportability

    You may be a good fit if you have/are:

    • Built 0 -> 1 platforms using Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and Helm
    • 5+ years of experience in building platform applications
    • Comfort working in a highly agile, intensely iterative software development process
    • Knowledge of multiple back-end languages and libraries (e.g. Python, Go, TypeScript)
    • Familiarity with databases (e.g. MySQL, Postgres), web servers (e.g. Apache) and UI/UX design and programs (e.g. Figma)
    • Hands-on experience with cloud/infrastructure providers, including Azure and AWS
    • Experience with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry and so on
    • Demonstrated capacity to clearly and concisely communicate complex technical, architectural, and/or organizational problems and propose thorough iterative solutions
    • Deep connections within the developer community

    We aim to make the hiring process as smooth as possible and only as long as necessary–we don’t want anyone stuck in a cycle of months-long interviews!
