About the role
Requirements:
- Experience with JavaScript (Node.js ) in a production environment and comfort with working in this environment primarily.
- Our current stack is mostly Node.js / PostgreSQL / Redis and Python, so you'll have to be comfortable operating there, despite your previous experience.
- Experience with performance engineering. For example, profiling slow API paths with APM tools, articulating debugging strategies, designing experiments to reduce uncertainty in decision paths, and understanding complex database query plans.
- Experience with Linux/BSD production operating environments and tools like basic bash scripting, performance monitoring like htop, iotop, and perf; and debugging tools are required.
- Linux/BSD resource constraints like CPU, memory, I/O, and file handles.
- Experience with SQL databases, preferably with PostgreSQL.
- Have you done something exceptional in your personal or professional life on your own initiative, for example?
- Started a school to teach how to mountain climb or race bikes.
- Rescued abandoned/injured dogs/cats and found homes for them.
- Started your own company, doing anything from delivering milk to developing software.
- Learned to play chess or go at a high level.
- Anything else you'd like to share that demonstrates how you stand out.
- Some knowledge of data science and statistics.
- Familiarity with big data tools.
- Deep experience with the internals of databases, particularly PostgreSQL.
