Overview

Join a rapidly growing team led by experienced technical founders with a market-leading technology product. We are searching for a Senior Developer / Cloud Engineer (i.e. experienced developer with AWS familiarity) to play a leading role on our technology team as we continue to scale our product suite. We are seeking a colleague who is excited about programming and building day-to-day, while also collaborating to advise and set a technical vision for key infrastructure and scaling considerations.

As Senior Developer, you will be responsible for helping architect and continuing to scale our fleet of microservices to best enable speedy and quality delivery of software. One day you might be upgrading elements of our dev/ops infrastructure, and another thinking about how to best architect an extension to our GraphQL API considering our different platforms.

Our engineers work with a diverse array of languages and technologies (including GraphQL, Node.js, React/Redux, Ruby/Rails, some Python and Go, etc.), making it possible to find many growth paths. We are also increasingly embracing machine learning, which will be a growth area in future.

You should care about software design and have built systems that other people love to use and work with, and have experience building and scaling distributed, highly-available systems. At Chronograph, engineers work closely with our product and design leaders to create world-class user experiences. The Chronograph engineering team is centered around learning, knowledge sharing, and both personal and team development.
