Gel (ex EdgeDB) | SREs / Infrastructure Engineers | Full-time | Remote |
https://www.geldata.com/Gel is an open-source data platform built on top of Postgres. It’s designed to give developers a better end-to-end user experience than traditional SQL databases. We provide a more expressive schema modeling & query language (EdgeQL), and "batteries included" features such as built-in schema migrations and a graphical schema browser, data explorer, and access control/auth.
We offer a hosted cloud service for Gel, with the goal of doing developer-friendly cloud hosting "the right way" - we want users to use our hosted service because it's great, not because they're locked-in by restrictive licensing or cloud-only features.
We are looking for experienced SREs / infrastructure / devops engineers to help scale out our cloud. Unlike many infrastructure roles, this is not supporting a separate product team - for us, our infrastructure is our product. We are looking for people who care about not just building reliable infrastructure but also exposing that infrastructure to end-users as a seamless product.
Our tech stack is Hashicorp tools (Terraform, Consul, Nomad, Vault); Postgres; Golang with some Python & Rust; and AWS (with eventual expansion to other cloud platforms). It's a requirement that you have strong experience with Golang.
We are a remote-first company, headquartered in San Francisco, with most of the team working in US/Canada timezones and a few people in Europe. Unfortunately we are unable to provide any visa/immigration sponsorship at this time.

P.S. I (co-founder) personally review all CVs from HN. I'm sorry I can't reply personally to everybody, but we do look and read through everything you send to us. And yes, we did hire a couple of wonderful people through HN and it was a great experience, I'm grateful.
