Staff Platform Engineer - EU
Salary
€154,000 – €250,000per year
Description
Ashby is seeking a Staff Platform Engineer to join our EMEA Engineering team. You will own projects end-to-end, building a 'paved road' for our engineering teams. This includes optimizing our homegrown recruiting DSL-to-SQL compiler, creating automated guardrails for security and privacy, helping developers ship features fast through canary deploys and feature flags, defining SLOs, and implementing infrastructure for event-driven architecture. We value infrastructure-as-code, minimal process, and a culture of ownership. You will work with a small, talented team to scale our platform to support our rapid growth.
Requirements
- You never stop. You get weirdly obsessed about a problem that doesn’t yet make sense, turn it every which way in your head until the explanation dawns.
- You don’t take shortcuts. You’re speaking up for the future user, the edge case, the doomsday design.
- You’re someone who cares about what you do and the team you do it with, and want to work with others who do as well.
- You’ve built infrastructure at a slightly later stage than Ashby is at - you know how to deal with millions of data points, have seen great (or not great) infrastructure make or break customer experience, and have automated everything from provisioning to monitoring and release process.
- You’re a Swiss army knife (all nationalities welcome ;) ). You’ll get every hard problem the company faces. You’ll get to do infrastructure updates, security enforcements, database optimization, Kubernetes debugging, and digging through Typescript traces figuring out what doesn’t work.
