Railway·Remote (United States)·3 февр.
This is a remote position available anywhere in the world! Linkedin makes us show a country, but we hire the best people wherever they are.
At Railway, we make it simple to ship anything. A lot goes into that. This role bridges the universe of atoms, to the universe of bits.
We’ve built ground up infrastructure to deliver better-than-best-in-class experience to all of our users, by building datacenters all over the world.
They’re designed for performance of course, but also for resilience and reliability. Doesn’t matter how good your stuff is if it doesn’t stay up right?
“The person who says it cannot be done, should not interrupt the person doing it”

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS/EXPERIENCE
Expect to need all of these, day to day, to excel at Railway
1. Built application level code (Golang, GRPC, Postgres, etc)
2. Made use of OS primitives (syscalls, cgroups, etc)
3. Delivered projects 0→N. Lead it, scaled it, seen your “brilliant solutions” become tech debt, etc
4. Operated with agency and urgency (bonus points if remotely!)
5. Had enough foresight to ship for today, design for 10x, and engineer for 100x in 18mo
6. Communicated clearly using RFCs/Docs/etc to break up + deliver large, nebulous tasks
7. Been oncall and know that you will be 1-2 weeks per quarter
8. Constructed monitoring, alerts, and dashboards to notify you before things break
9. Built the confidence to say no to 99% of things, and the grit to deliver the 1% that matter
