We believe that data is the key to unleashing human potential. We've seen firsthand how data helps bridge art and science to create delightful experiences, impactful insights, and seamless automation. We're an early-stage, venture-backed company on a mission to get data out of specialized silos and adopted across all facets of a company. We're building a new kind of data platform that enables all developers, not just data specialists, to easily create and scale delightful data-intensive experiences.
We’re experienced founders with a track record of success. We have a remote-first team, are backed by incredible investors, and are building a high-performance culture that’s flexible and works well for working parents.
A note about our job descriptions. We’ve written many JDs in our careers and wanted to try something new. We believe that everyone on the team deserves to have a great relationship with their manager. Our hiring managers write their job posts, choose their words intentionally, and use this as an opportunity to open up a dialogue.
The role
This role is focused on Boréal, the hosting service for Moose. As Boréal's first Site Reliability Engineer, you'll work closely with me to strengthen and enhance our cloud hosting service. We're looking for an experienced and passionate SRE who can help us automate and scale our hosting platform to new heights. We have big ambitions, we want the platform to enable hybrid IAAS and BYOC type of models, scale to Petabytes of data ingested per day, and have high level of reliability.
In this role, you'll have the opportunity to work on a challenging and rewarding project that will have a major impact on Boréal's business. You'll also have the chance to work with a talented team of engineers who are passionate about building and operating reliable systems.
What to expect from me
I am both a player and a coach for the team of engineers. I roll up my sleeves and care a lot about my craft. I am pragmatic, I spend my innovation chips deliberately and will encourage you to do the same. I love learning and I am always eager to read on the latest trends and best practices. I firmly believe that engineering is a team sport; the best technical architectures and designs come out of tight collaborations between team members. I will challenge your designs, encourage you to hone your craft, expect you to ship code to production often, and eventually expect you to coach more junior engineers as the team grows. What to expect from your peers
As the first site reliability engineer in the team, you will collaborate closely with the CTO and the engineering team as we get the Boréal off the ground. This is a team of ambitious and pragmatic people who care about each other’s happiness. We all love the grind and the thrill of the early stages of a company. We come from different parts of the world and appreciate what each of our cultures and experiences brings to the table. Many of us are parents and hence build in flexibility to be there for our families. You can choose to leverage that flexibility in whichever ways work for you.
