Overview

At Netlify, we’re building a platform to empower digital designers and developers to build better, more elaborate web projects than ever before. We’re aiming to change the landscape of modern web development.

As a Backend Engineer you’ll coordinate closely with the product team to create the backend services that support the user’s experience. The services range from our internal CI/CD system, to the core ruby API, to the variety of Go micro services we run. Our services span Go, Ruby, and Javascript and often you’ll have to work across all three languages to implement new features.

We’re a venture-backed company, and so far we’ve raised about $45 million from Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, Bloomberg, and prominent founders and professionals in our space.

Netlify is a diverse group of incredible talent from all over the world. We’re ~40% woman or non-binary, and are composed of about half as many nationalities as we are team members.

Responsibilities

  • Work on the core Ruby API
  • Work on the supporting Go micro services (Netlify Identity, Large Media)
  • Work on the customer facing CI/CD pipeline
  • Own features from code to production to monitoring
  • Design services for better observability, availability, and fault tolerance
  • Work with support to address frequent customer issues
  • Work cross-functionally to scope, design, and implement services
