About Us

NS1’s mission is to unlock the potential of DNS to deliver the tech that powers our customers and the world. We are the market leader in DNS and traffic management software and services, and our customers include the biggest properties and largest enterprises on the internet, such as Salesforce, LinkedIn, Squarespace, Pandora, Imgur, Yelp, Dropbox, and many more. Our modern DNS technologies enable optimized application delivery, couple via our APIs into the tooling and processes of today’s DevOps organizations, and deliver reliability and performance at global scale. We operate a worldwide, highly tuned Managed DNS network, and also deliver our technologies to customers as single-tenant software deployments. We solve incredibly challenging problems on behalf of our customers, in the most mission critical parts of their stack.

The Role

We’re looking to add a new member to our engineering department: an Integrations Engineer who can draw on their passion for infrastructure-as-code along with their broad community knowledge and connections to craft all manner of integrations for our cutting edge DNS platform. This dynamic position will involve writing and maintaining code in various languages - much of it open source - centered around getting data into and out of our platform. You’ll work on in-house repos as well as contribute to various well known community infrastructure projects. You’ll also work in our REST API and other internal systems to create and maintain integrations with other SaaS platforms.

No matter which language, you will be expected to write clean, maintainable, and fully tested code along with top notch documentation. You should have experience working on open source projects in a distributed environment (typically GitHub), including handling tasks like Pull Requests and Issues. Knowledge of various Continuous Integration systems such as Jenkins and TravisCI will be helpful. You should be familiar with the package distribution systems of various programming languages such as pip, gem, npm, etc and ideally have some experience contributing to them.

You should have good general knowledge of the modern internet infrastructure landscape, especially well known and up-and-coming infrastructure-as-code projects and various IaaS and SaaS providers in the space.

You’ll need to be able to quickly digest and understand diverse technical documentation and APIs of varying quality. Communication skills are equally important as you’ll be expected to maintain relationships with the project leaders, providers and services that you’ll be integrating with. You’ll take ownership of all the integrations and work autonomously towards aggressive development goals.
