Job description

At ReadMe, we’re committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We welcome people of all backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We are an equal opportunity employer and a pleasant and supportive place to work. We'd love to have you come join us here! 

📍 Location: Remote

ReadMe is hiring a Git Infrastructure Engineer. Over the past year, we’ve moved our content data off Mongo and into a Git storage system (lovingly called Gitto internally). Now we need someone to own and continue to build out the infrastructure! It’s built on EFS, with a network of VMs that can access it. If you want to learn more… well, we basically did the same thing Github did.

We're a small team of humans (and one owl) working together to do big things — and that’s where you come in. In this role, you’ll have a transformational impact on ReadMe across both the trajectory of the business and our thriving culture.

🦉 What we do

ReadMe helps more than 5,000 leading startups and tech companies build beautiful, personalized, and interactive developer hubs. If you’ve ever visited the developer docs for Webflow, Notion, or Nvidia, you’ve used ReadMe!

We love what we do because it’s so much more than just documentation. We’re providing tools for teams to build a better developer experience and make their products and APIs easier to use. We’ve got great support from our investors at Accel who led our Series A, and our interview process reflects the open, caring, and whimsical culture we want to maintain as we scale.

✅ What you’ll do here

  • Own the architecture of our new Git infrastructure. Examples of problems you’ll help to solve:

    • Create backups (per repo and larger).

    • Improve deployment of the codebase.

    • Unblock scaling issues as they come up.

    • Care about security and SOC2 compliance.

  • Come up with ideas around what ReadMe’s broader infrastructure should look like, and communicate them to your coworkers.

  • Collaborate with other engineers and people around ReadMe. You’ll be fairly autonomous in this role, but you won’t be on an island! You’ll support and be supported by your coworkers.

💙 You'll love this job if you are...

  • Excited about working with and optimizing a large amount of data!

  • Familiar with Typescript, since Gitto is built with JS.

  • Experienced with AWS (EC2 / EFS / Load Balancing at the very least) and feel comfortable building out infrastructure on top of them.

  • Knowledgeable about Terraform.

  • Passionate about making products people love.

🌱 How you'll grow within one month

  • Get to know the team:

    • Join a variety of programming sessions with engineers across the team.

    • Meet your onboarding buddy who will shepherd you through the first few months.

  • Sink your teeth into a substantial project: 

    • We hire folks who we trust to do great work, and they’re given the freedom to hit the ground running.

    • Within their first few months, we’ve had Engineering team members redesign aspects of our metrics API, compose extendable components for our UI library, and remedy significant performance issues.

🪴 Within three months, you'll...

  • Get to know the broader team via: 

    • Donuts 🍩; you’ll get paired randomly with teammates across ReadMe, just to get to know who they are beyond work!

    • Offsite retreats (recent locations include Cape Cod, Honolulu, and Tahoe).

  • Get to know the product roadmap and development cycle:

    • We set the roadmap and decide what to prioritize and ship as a team. 

    • You’ll learn how the company operates, our business model, and how the engineering team fits into our plans as a company.

🌳 Within six months, you'll... 

  • Share knowledge and mentor peers:

    • We intentionally hire for different skill sets and passions; we believe that everyone has their brand of genius to share!

  • Own a part of the product you’re interested in:

    • Where you spend your time on the projects on our roadmap is flexible based on what you’re interested in and where your career goals lie.

  • Have a portfolio of awesome things that you’ve shipped throughout the year:

    • We’re constantly iterating and shipping new things out, so be prepared to have a large impact on the product.

🛣️ What’s the hiring process like?

  1. We can’t wait to read your resume and (hopefully personality-filled) cover letter! Let us know what excites you about full stack engineering, and help us get to know you better!

  2. If we think we might be a good fit for you, we’ll set up a 30-minute phone chat with our Engineering Manager Gabe! He’ll tell you more about the role, and get a chance to hear about your experiences.

  3. Next will be a second 30-minute phone interview with Anand, another engineer on the team, where we’ll dive a bit more into your background.

  4. We’ll then do a technical assessment with a couple of ReadMe engineers.

  5. Finally, we’ll invite you to an "onsite" interview conducted over Zoom! These usually take 3.5 to 5 hours including an hour break in between. We can be flexible with the schedule and split it up over two days if that works best for you! We start with a 15-minute get-to-know-you with the people you’ll be interviewing with, and then have you talk with people one-on-one later on.

  6. We’ll let you know how things went within a week! If it still seems like a good fit all around, we’ll extend you an offer! If not, we will update you to let you know so you aren’t left hanging.

✨ Our benefits include…

  • Unlimited PTO with a three-week minimum. 🏝

  • Fully covered medical, dental, and vision insurance for you, and 100% for your dependents. 🩺

  • A One Medical membership. 🧑‍⚕️

  • A wellness stipend for therapy of up to $350 per month for up to 6 months. 😌

  • A wellness stipend of up to $150 per month. 🏋️

  • One-to-one donation matching of up to $1,000 per year. 💸

  • Twelve weeks of paid parental leave after the birth or adoption of a child. 🐣

  • Work from home office stipend of $500. 🖥️

  • Three offsite retreats per year to get together with coworkers and plan for the quarter ahead. ✈️
