About the role
Porter is the cloud platform for modern tech companies.
We provide the power of the cloud without the complexity and cost, allowing the next generation of builders to run anything, anywhere.
Traditional engineering orgs have to allocate a lot of time and money to managing AWS, Azure, and GCP, and quickly become locked in. We enable top engineering teams to instantly create production-grade infrastructure on any cloud provider, deploy their application code, and easily monitor and manage it, unlocking them to focus on what they do best – building a great product.
We are a company that cares about building something beautiful. We are not afraid of tackling the hardest problems. We are looking for people who want to do the best work of their lives while building the future of tech.
The Role:
We're looking for an senior backend engineer with previous experience architecting internal developer/infrastructure platforms and programming against hyperscaler and k8s APIs. We build our backend with Go (previous experience not required but is a plus).
You will:
- Own our infrastructure management system
- Stay up to date on the latest in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes and DevOps best-practices
- Raise the standard for code quality and our engineering culture
Some of the technical challenges we face:
- Design infrastructure architecture that “just works”, whether you are a seed-stage company or post-IPO (and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg)
- Maintain internal cloud-agnostic infrastructure APIs to allow our users to seamlessly switch clouds
- Continually integrate the newest developments released by hyperscalers so that our users always benefit from the latest and greatest
- Ensure Porter-native infrastructure remains compatible with other cloud services, regardless of whether we incorporate them into our management system
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
This role is in-person in NYC.
