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.\nWe 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.\nThe Role:\nWe're looking for a full stack engineer who is fluent in React/Typescript but comfortable working across the entire stack. This includes building on top of our Go backend as well as working directly with the Kubernetes and Helm APIs. Since Porter is a PaaS that abstracts the complexity of Kubernetes, deeply considered design/architectural decisions are the lifeblood of our platform. The best implementation is not always the most obvious one, so an appetite for rigorously evaluating the tradeoffs of different options is essential.\nYou will be expected to push critical code on a daily basis while also working on larger features that constantly expand the capabilities of the platform.\nYou will:\nBuild and maintain new features on the Porter dashboard\nDevelop our Go API to accommodate additional k8s/Helm behaviors\nCreate applets and add-ons for popular technologies like MySQL, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.\nImprove the UI and organization of the dashboard (strong UI/UX background is a nice to have)\nRaise the standard for code quality and our engineering culture\nWho we're looking for:\nWe 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.\nSome of the technical challenges we face:\nAbstracting 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.\nCloud 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.\nMany 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.\nSample projects you might work on:\nBuild a dashboard that gives an infra-level overview of machines being managed by Porter and their current resource utilization\nImplement live email/Slack alerts for successful or failed deployments\nDevelop a deployment pipeline builder that lets users seamlessly promote services across multiple clusters and environments (ex: dev -> staging -> prod)\nCreate one-click deployable applets for popular technologies (e.g. RabbitMQ, Kafka, Cassandra, etc.)\nTech stack:\nWeb: React (styled-components), TypeScript\nBackend: Go, Kubernetes + Helm APIs, Postgres, Redis\nInfrastructure: AWS, GCP\nWhat we offer\nTop-of-market compensation that grows with the company\nMedical, vision, dental insurance\n401k\n6 weeks of PTO, 6 weeks of remote work\nFree lunch and office snacks\nWe are a fully in-person team located in NYC.\nInterested?
