Overview

Over 25,000 developers worldwide rely on SemaphoreCI.com to test and deploy their code. We’re looking for passionate engineers who will join us in building the backbone of next-generation continuous delivery services.

The Platform team is responsible for building, monitoring and scaling hardware and services that execute 100k+ CI/CD jobs per day on Semaphore. The stack is a mix of bare metal, Linux tools, containers and virtual machines, and Ruby. We always strive for maximum performance, which is why Semaphore is the fastest hosted CI service on the market.

Our way of working is highly collaborative and optimized for constantly delivering value to our users through daily standups, pull requests, code review, and continuous deployment.

The Semaphore team is partly remote and the right candidate can thrive in an environment of asynchronous communication. We expect you to have strong communication skills and be able to create working relationships with coworkers in locations around the globe.

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to take significant ownership of projects that will drive the success of the overall business. Good candidates will bring a strong engineering background, combined with the ability to move fast.

About Rendered Text

Rendered Text is a software company making Semaphore, a continuous delivery service at the forefront of an ongoing evolution in software development practice. We optimize what we do for happiness of our users and ourselves.

A bootstrapped product company:

Our story began in 2009 when Marko Anastasov and Darko Fabijan, two friends from university, set up the company while working at the same time on their social web startup and for clients. From the beginning we were passionate about both making software and the effects great products have on people. We have combined those in creating Semaphore, which we launched in 2012, and transitioned to become a product company. Now that we are responsible for a service used in over 100 countries, we feel like we're only getting started.

Doing the right thing:

Over the years we have grown in all aspects — and continue to every day — but our goals have remained the same. Have fun while working with the best technology at hand. Design and create the finest product we can. Compete with the top in the industry. Learn from the best. Focus on the essential. Cultivate openness and respect in all communication. Be friends with one another. Learn constantly. Share what we know.
