Job description

from Railway careers

This is a remote position available anywhere in the world! Linkedin makes us show a country, but we hire the best people wherever they are.

Our core mission at Railway is to make software engineers higher leverage. We believe that people should be given powerful tools so that they can spend less time setting up to do, and more time doing.

Building the infrastructure which powers the Railway engine is the most core problem at Railway. As a infrastructure engineer, you will be directly responsible for exposing the knobs, bells, and whistles that allow the users to build to the wildest dreams. The tools you build will be instrumental in not only scaling internal operations, but scaling the company to infinite and beyond!

About The Role

For this role, you will:

  • Build system-level software: our challenges aren't your usual kube-fits-all variety, so be prepared to build things from scratch based on first principles

  • Have a strong understanding or curiosity of OS level primitives - our business hinges on efficiency, so that means being masters of CPU, Memory, Network and the Kernel that wields it

  • Be a student of both distributed systems and simplicity - you know how to reach for the RAFT but you also know how far you can get with Postgres
