Inbox | <a href="https://www.inboxapp.com/" > | San Francisco, CA (Mission) or REMOTE | Backend systems + Ops
Hi! We're Inbox, and we're looking for help building the next generation email platform. We're building a missing piece of Internet infrastructure and are looking for systems and infrastructure/operations engineers to join us.
Companies are building their core businesses around our API right now, and that means we have to be reliable, up all the time, and fast. We have more data for a single user than in most startups' entire database. That means big technical challenges to solve as we scale out our fledgling distributed backend.
== We're particularly looking for folks who ==
* Take personal pride in their work and value autonomy and ownership.
* Have a experience with automated deployments, debugging running systems, release engineering, and on-call schedules, but are still comfortable writing code.
* Want the chance to step up and lead a team.
* Put the work before ego. We've got each others' backs, and we want you to be with us on that.
== A bit more about us ==
* We're built on tools like Python, Flask, gevent, nginx, MySQL, AWS, and Debian. Go and Docker are likely to join this list soon. We've been careful to keep our architecture componentized.
* Tons of our code is open source. Check it out: <a href="https://github.com/inboxapp" >
* We're 40% women on our team of 10 (9 engineers), including 1 of 2 cofounders. We want to make that number 50%.
* Our sunny Mission office is more cozy than tidy. Think art studio, not corporate.
* We're more likely to end up at the climbing gym or on a bike ride together than out drinking at the latest startup event.
* We have an open vacation policy and value personal responsibility and ownership.
To apply, email your resumé (+ GitHub/code links if you have) to REDACTED_EMAIL. We welcome and encourage applications from women and people of colour.
