What you'll do

BUILD OUR PRODUCT

We develop high-end, open-source solutions to the technical challenges we encounter while pursuing our mission. Our work spans the entire stack: from the infrastructure and backend of distributed cloud systems, through the product's user interface, to analyzing customer and market feedback to ensure the product meets real needs.

We use a broad spectrum of technologies: a backend written in Go; data-engineering plugins in Scala, Python, and Java; a React-based GUI; and multi-cloud infrastructure tools such as Kubernetes, Terraform, and ArgoCD. Wherever possible, we leverage existing technologies—including OpenAPI, RocksDB, and Apache Spark—while also developing innovations such as Graveler, which differentiate our core platform.

Our SaaS offering runs across three major cloud providers, combining the open-source core with premium features. It scales to billions of daily API calls while consistently responding within milliseconds.

BUILD OUR TEAM

We are a trusted team. It is our responsibility to ensure you and others on the team all feel safe and trusted to do their jobs. This is a central value for us as the core developers of an open-source product.

Our job is to develop the system and also to maintain it in production, ensuring reliability, durability and performance so we can give our customers the best possible service.

Requirements

  • Proven senior-level experience (5+ years) in backend development, preferably in a cloud-based environment.
  • Strong Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Go, Java, or similar.
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, including challenges around scale, performance, and reliability.
  • Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and system design principles.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and related services (S3, Blob Storage, etc.).
  • Experience building and maintaining production systems at scale.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to handling challenges.
  • Ability to work in an agile, fast-paced environment and collaborate effectively within a team.
