About Porter

Porter is a Platform as a Service that runs in the users own cloud. We allow users to deploy applications to their own AWSGCP accounts by simply pointing at the code they want to run and automate devops from CI/CD to autoscaling. Under the hood, Porter runs on Kubernetes but abstracts away its complexity from the end user.

We are growing fast, small but formidable, and are at one of the most exciting junctures a startup can be at with the state of our growth. Weve grown 8x in ARR since the beginning of 2022 and are profitable as of Q3 2022. We are building out a founding team in NYC who can share this journey with us. Remote is also OK depending on circumstances - see the end of this job post

About the Role

Skills: Go, Kubernetes, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS)

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).

Responsibilities

  1. Own our infrastructure management system
  2. Stay up to date on the latest in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes and DevOps best-practices
  3. Raise the standard for code quality and our engineering culture

Technical Challenges

  1. Design infrastructure architecture that just works, whether you are a seed-stage company or post-IPO and doesnt cost an arm and a leg
  2. Maintain internal cloud-agnostic infrastructure APIs to allow our users to seamlessly switch clouds
  3. Continually integrate the newest developments released by hyperscalers so that our users always benefit from the latest and greatest
  4. Ensure Porter-native infrastructure remains compatible with other cloud services, regardless of whether we incorporate them into our management system

Benefits

  1. Top-of-market compensation that grows with the company
  2. Medical, vision, dental insurance
  3. 401k
  4. 6 weeks of PTO, 6 weeks of remote work
  5. Free lunch and office snacks
