Our Mission
We're not your average benefits platform; we're the unordinary force that uplifts people's lives. Our technology is the link that connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.
Our mission is clear: we're here to create a world where everything operates at its very best, ensuring that every employee receives the support they need to live life to the fullest, both at work and beyond.
Your Mission
As part of our growing platform enablement squad, you will join us to ensure stable, secure & scalable operations and an excellent developer experience.
We’re looking for self-starters who are seeking a fast-paced environment where they can make a difference. Our team is small, which means high autonomy, ownership, and responsibility. We love what we do, have fun and, while we ship on time, take life-work balance seriously.
Things you'll be working on
Infrastructure Automation: Set up infrastructure components using Terraform (via Terragrunt) with maintainability, scalability & reliability in mind
Developer Tooling: Tooling and processes to support product squads in increasing the speed, reliability and visibility of their development workflows
Observability: Tooling and processes to improve monitoring, logging, events and tracing at both the infrastructure and application layer
Collaborating: Working with product squads to deliver infrastructure to support new services/features in a secure and scalable manner
Resource Optimisation: Working to right-size our services and implement features such as auto-scaling to increase the cost effectiveness of our platform and reduce waste
Security: Collaborating with the security squad on projects to increase our security posture, such as improving our least privilege approach to IAM roles for users and services
Documentation: Maintaining clear and up-to-date documentation for systems and procedures to increase product squad self-service
Behind the scenes
Ben is built on Python 3, Django, React, PostgreSQL and recently some Golang.
We run on AWS and follow engineering best practices, with a pragmatic approach.
Our backend services run on ECS (Fargate), databases on RDS (PostgreSQL).
We use Terraform to manage our AWS resources and other 3rd-party tooling such as Auth0. The platform team maintains a library of supporting python tools which are deployed using Lambda.
We use Datadog and Sentry for monitoring infrastructure and services.
You’ll love this role if you are/have:
Experience in building cost effective and secure systems in AWS
Experience with monitoring/observability tooling
Experience with Docker containerized applications and services
Experience using Infrastructure as Code tooling, preferably Terraform
Basic shell and python scripting knowledge
Excellent communication skills adaptable to both tech and business audiences
Experience in implementing tools and processes to enable product teams to track SLIs/SLOs (nice to have)
Experience in implementing infrastructure within an ISO 27001 or SOC2 compliant company (nice to have)
Advanced Python development experience (nice to have)
and you...
are a self-starter who thrives on autonomy, enjoys a rapid pace and wants to make a difference
have a continuous improvement mindset. You appreciate that there are always ways to do things better and ensure your team does too
have a preference for action-oriented behaviour with just enough analysis, as compared to too much time spent doing analysis with no action
have the ability to make decisions balancing different factors such as business requirements, technical integrity, overall priorities etc.
appreciate the opportunities and challenges of a distributed work environment
are solution-focused with a pragmatic approach to problem-solving

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
