Description

About OpsLevel

OpsLevel is the leading internal developer portal designed to help engineering teams build, ship, and maintain software better than ever. We believe that developer portals are the linchpin to a successful developer experience. With customers like Duolingo, Sotheby's, Keller Williams, and Hootsuite, we know that the best businesses in the world prioritize a great developer experience in order to beat the competition.

We're a fully-remote team of folks who care deeply about the daily lives of developers, with team members across North America and Europe. OpsLevelers live our company values on a daily basis and when we’re not heads-down on a project or collaborating in real-time over Zoom, we're competing in trivia over lunch or sharing the latest fur baby photo in #pets-to-make-you-live-longer.

Our culture and values are very important and ground us in how we interact as one team:

Empathy - Think of others; think of your users

Growth Mindset - Get comfortable with being uncomfortable

Intellectual Honesty - The best solution is more important than anyone's ego

Focus & Efficiency - Keep the main thing the main thing

Simplicity

Our Stack

We believe in boring technology because it’s well tested and simple.  Our current stack is:

  • Ruby on Rails (our main application’s backend)

  • Vue.js (our app’s UI)

  • GraphQL (how the UI and the backend talk to each other; also used by customers as part of our platform)

  • MySQL (gotta store those bits somewhere)

  • Redis (some bits gotta be stored faster)

  • Terraform (config as code, because any other way is painful)

  • Kubernetes (we use AWS EKS)

  • Golang (for various operational tools and our open source offerings)

  • AWS / GCP

  • Docker

  • DataDog

  • Git

What You'll Do

  • Work with product, UX, and fellow developers to gain a deep understanding of customer problems and lead development of features to solve those problems

  • Hold a high bar of personal technical excellence, demonstrated through high quality, thoroughly tested, and exemplary code contributions and reviews

  • Contribute to our culture of “you build it, you own it” by listening to your spidey sense and identifying tech debt or other opportunities to improve our technical architecture

  • Discover, propose, and evangelize the latest & best practices in Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, and database design

  • Build private and public GraphQL API’s that power the OpsLevel front-end experience and CLI capabilities

  • Lead technical explorations and create PoC prototypes to discover then build the best solution

  • Execute projects in a timely manner, helping the team communicate when they are on or off track to meet goals

  • Leverage your years of experience by being a mentor and investing in the growth and success of those around you

  • Participate in our oncall schedule, where you may be required to troubleshoot across our core technical stack (Ruby on Rails, VueJS, GraphQL, and MySQL)

Who You Are

  • An empathetic, pragmatic, and collaborative approach to problem solving.  Done is better than perfect.

  • A strong growth mindset.  You’re comfortable learning new things quickly.  Unknowns are new frontiers waiting to be discovered

  • Experience designing architectures with strong interface boundaries and separation of concerns.  Your craft is deeply rooted in SOLID design principles

  • Thorough understanding of writing web applications with Rails.  You probably have at least 5 years of experience with Rails or 7 years with a similar web framework (e.g., Spring, Django, Node.js)

  • Experience designing performant data models with MySQL.  You have strong opinions on how to structure data in an RDBMS.  You know when and how to use indices and when to denormalize data.  You have battle scars from debugging and fixing slow queries.

Nice to Haves

  • Experience with modern cloud technologies such as AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform 

  • An understanding of job systems for Ruby on Rails such as Sidekiq

  • A deep understanding of MySQL

  • Have experience in scaling a web application to thousands of users and millions of events

  • Knowledge of in memory datastores like Redis

  • You can empathize with companies that run 100’s of applications or microservices

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
