What You'll Do
- Optimize our homegrown ultra-dynamic recruiting DSL-to-SQL compiler and build tools to help other developers do the same.

- Work with the business and engineering to define SLOs and implement the corresponding SLIs.
- Ensure all communication with external services supports retries and circuit-breakers.
- Implement the infrastructure to support an event-driven architecture and data warehouse.
- Dive into scaling problems, add new platform capabilities, and improve how our team interacts with infrastructure.
- Perform infrastructure updates, security enforcements, database optimization, Kubernetes debugging, and trace analysis.
- Review code and submit code changes as part of your daily work.
- Share new tooling and best practices with engineers through written communication.
- Manage your own projects, seek help when needed, and make scope decisions.
What We're Looking For
- You get deeply invested in solving ambiguous problems.
- You prioritize long-term quality over shortcuts and advocate for users and edge cases.
- You care deeply about your work and your team.
- You have experience building infrastructure at scale, handling millions of data points.
- You have automated everything from provisioning to monitoring and release processes.
- You are versatile and tackle the hardest problems a company faces.
- You want autonomy to decide on the best 'paved road' solutions for Ashby.
