Full Stack Engineer

Who we're looking for:

We value rate of learning above all else. Full stack experience and fluency with React/TypeScript is expected, but less familiarity with Go/Kubernetes is fine if you're a voracious and self-directed learner. Infrastructure management isn't rocket science, but it does involve thinking and working across multiple levels of abstraction at once. If the idea of wrangling that complexity is exciting and not daunting to you, we'd love to talk. As is the case with most early-stage startups, you should be comfortable with regularly shifting priorities and iterating at a very high (daily) velocity.

Some of the technical challenges we face:

• Abstracting Kubernetes - any PaaS spans a variety of use cases, so building a consistent and useful layer of abstraction requires constant awareness of the needs of many user profiles.
• Cloud Agnosticism - one of Porter's main benefits is that you get the same interface for managing services regardless of where you host. Our job is to reduce multi-cloud infrastructure complexity to a unified interface.
• Many Integrations - our philosophy is to never reinvent the wheel, so we leverage tools like GitHub Actions, existing container registries, and the APIs of various cloud providers. An issue with any one of these integrations interrupts functionality, so properly handling interactions with numerous services is crucial.

Sample projects you might work on:

• Build a dashboard that gives an infra-level overview of machines being managed by Porter and their current resource utilization
• Implement live email/Slack alerts for successful or failed deployments
• Develop a deployment pipeline builder that lets users seamlessly promote services across multiple clusters and environments (ex: dev -> staging -> prod)
• Create one-click deployable applets for popular technologies (e.g. RabbitMQ, Kafka, Cassandra, etc.)

Tech stack:

• Web: React (styled-components), TypeScript
• Backend: Go, Kubernetes + Helm APIs, Postgres, Redis
• Infrastructure: AWS, GCP

What we offer

• Top-of-market compensation that grows with the company
• Medical, vision, dental insurance
• 401k
• 6 weeks of PTO, 6 weeks of remote work
• Free lunch and office snacks

We are a fully in-person team located in NYC.
