Description

About Us

It is time for the industry to move beyond Infrastructure as Code. At ConfigHub, we are building the next-generation configuration experience for cloud applications and infrastructure. 

You’d have a chance to work with an experienced, innovative team delivering what we hope will be a product with industry-level impact. We are veteran product leaders who have delivered cloud-native platforms for 10-15 years. 

  • Jesper Joergensen, former product lead at Heroku PaaS then Twilio platform

  • Brian Grant, original Kubernetes lead architect and creator of its declarative configuration model including KRM, kubectl apply, and kustomize; inaugural Kubernetes Steering Committee member, inaugural CNCF TOC member, coauthored the CNCF’s definition of “Cloud Native”

  • Alexis Richardson, CEO/founder of Weaveworks, RabbitMQ, Spring Boot/Cloud; CNCF TOC first chair, founder of “GitOps”

About the Role

UX in the infrastructure/DevOps area is notoriously bad. We believe that a new kind of user interface is critical to the experience we aim to deliver.

We are looking for a person who can build the foundation of a UI/frontend team and the foundation of the software.

You will:

  • decide our frontend tech stack and architecture

  • build our initial frontend

  • build and lead our frontend team

  • innovate in UX for cloud infrastructure and applications

  • incorporate AI to help users do more faster and better

The UI has a number of technical and UX challenges. It needs to be dynamic, customizable, and extensible. It needs to navigate and present complex data simply and ergonomically. You need to be able to make key technology and architectural decisions for the frontend, such as frameworks, libraries, and components, and to decide when those decisions need to be changed based on the evolution of the product.

About You

We need someone who thinks big, draws creative inputs from many sources, and is able to lead other people towards a vision.

As a tiny startup, it can be unclear what you should be working on at any given moment. The vision may be blurry, the current state of the product may be ambiguous and you may have to decide for yourself what is the best thing to work on next. We are looking for someone who enjoys such an environment. We need you to feel confident to start work on a task that nobody has defined for you and that you think is the best thing to focus on right now. We need you to think ahead and plan tasks for yourself and others that lead us to the next milestone. This will require you to communicate well in writing, helping the whole team understand both the what and the why of your plan to reach future milestones.

You have a vision for the systems you work on, but you know how to build incremental milestones and when to make trade-offs between completeness and utility to get to value fast.

You need to be able to make key technology and architectural decisions for the frontend, and to decide when those decisions need to be changed based on the evolution of the product.

Ideally, you’ve previously owned building frontend experiences from concept to launch, including substantial architecture design as well as hands-on implementation.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience

  • 5+ years of Web UI (frontend) development experience

  • Experience leading technical projects

  • Javascript/Typescript, CSS, HTML

  • One major modern interactive web UI framework: React, Angular, Vue, Svelte

Nice-to-haves

Experience with:

  • 2+ Javascript frameworks

  • Web UI extensions

  • Micro-frontends

  • Server-driven UI

  • GraphQL

  • Figma

  • UX design

  • startups

  • B2B SaaS

  • contributing to open-source projects

  • backend development

What We Offer

We are committed to ConfigHub becoming a wonderful place to work for people from a very wide range of backgrounds and locations. We would be very happy to discuss this in detail as we get to meet you - but here are a few quick initial points.

ConfigHub is not the place where you wave goodbye to your loved ones when you join, never to spend time with them again until we have either succeeded or failed. We are building this company while living a real life with our friends and family in our local communities.

In addition to cash and equity compensation, we offer medical, dental, and vision insurance, and voluntary life, hospital, critical illness, and accident insurance.

Our team is remote and we expect it to stay that way. You will enjoy the benefits of working from a location that best suits you and on a flexible time schedule. We do need significant work-hours overlap with the US west coast (Pacific Time), however. We believe it is important that you have experience with this working style so you know what you are getting yourself into and you have proven that it works for you. We plan to meet in person at least 4 times a year, and more often if necessary.

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.
