Software Engineer: Experimentation
Do you ever wonder what happens inside the cloud?
Headquartered in New York but based around the world, DigitalOcean is a dynamic, high-growth technology company that serves a robust and passionate community of developers around the world. Our mission is to simplify cloud computing for every developer. We are working on solving some of the most challenging and interesting technology projects around, on a scale unmatched by most.
We are building the platform to help teams make data-driven decisions.
On the Experimentation team, we build the platform that allows teams to try ideas and measure the impact. You'll work on extending the platform to help our internal users successfully run valuable experiments and ensure experimental features are deployed safely. You'll work with product, marketing, design, and engineering teams to ensure they can successfully make data-driven decisions that make a measurable difference to the organization.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Extend the Experimentation Platform applications using JavaScript (React and Node.js) and Go.
- Improve experimentation tooling to make it easier to use feature flags, capture critical data, and implement experiments.
- Work with teams to extend our applications to better support experiments and features.
- Help to improve the platform moving forward to support experimentation at all levels of the stack (hardware, hypervisors, microservices, web applications, etc.).
What We Expect From You:
- Previous experience as a Full Stack Web Developer with a focus on building high-performance services and/or working on data pipeline applications.
- Writing code in JavaScript for both the frontend and backend while having a willingness to be a polyglot programmer, learning other languages such as Go, Python, Ruby, or anything else we might be using.
- Excellent communication skills and a desire to get feedback from our users in order to make them successful.
- Empathy and respect for others as you help people test their ideas in production.
Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean:
- We value development. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that is always challenging ourselves to continuously grow. We maintain a growth mindset in everything we do and invest deeply in employee development through formalized mentorship, LinkedIn Learning tracks, and other internal programs. We also provide all employees with reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education.
- We care about your physical, financial and mental well-being. We offer competitive health, dental, and vision benefits for employees and their dependents, a monthly gym reimbursement to support your physical health, and a commute or internet allowance to make your trips to your office or your desk easier. We offer generous parental leave with transition time built-in upon return to work. We offer competitive compensation and a 401k plan with up to a 4% employer match.
- We support our remote employee experience. While we have great office spaces in NYC, Cambridge and Palo Alto, we’re very distributed—we use a number of communication tools to connect across the company—and all remote employees have the opportunity to visit our offices and meet their teams face-to-face at team offsites. We also have an annual company offsite, Shark Week, to get quality in-person time with the entire company at least once a year. We also allow employees to outfit their workstations to meet their needs—whether remote or in office.
- We value diversity and inclusivity. We are an equal opportunity employer and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
