Engineering at Fonoa

• Engineers are given problems to solve, rather than features to build.
• We always try to understand the customer’s needs before thinking about implementation details.
• Engineers are owners of their past, present and future; architecture, tools, coding, testing, deployment, operations and scaling
• We work in lean, small teams. We co-own the product roadmap with product managers
• We chose collaboration, compassion and trust over individualism and politics
• We prefer innovation, constant iteration and trust over competition and perfect solutions.
• We support each other, are kind by nature, and give as much feedback to all improve as professionals.
• We break down complex problems and always seek to find simplest solutions.
• We take quality seriously and factor it into everything we do.
• We are comfortable with change, either in priorities, goals and deadlines. We see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. We are comfortable with challenging the status quo and pushing for change.
• We seek those looking to make a serious impact, and are excited about working in a high growth startup.
• We ship, fast, continuously, and iteratively, learning on each step.
• We are data informed. And are ok with finding the data when it’s missing.

• For backend, we build in C#, . NET, Node and Go
• For frontend, we use ReactJS and Typescript
• For persistence we are mostly using MongoDB
• We use Azure and GCP for our cloud services
• We manage our infrastructure with Terraform, Kubernetes CRDs, ArgoCD and DataDog.

“As an engineer, I am following a product through its lifecycle, from ideation to delivery and support which gives a lot of exposure to the technology, and customer needs. This allows me to learn to improve both myself and the product constantly.” –Philip Beel, Engineering Manager

What you will be doing:

• Continuously iterate on our platform, building self-service tooling and services consumed by internal customers (engineering teams).
• Helping to improve our products’ observability, availability, and latency, so we can always keep our customers happy.
• Participating in an on-call schedule, taking care of the services the team owns.
• Defining and continuously improving our SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs as part of our ever-present effort to achieve operational excellence.
• Helping all the engineering teams with the adoption of site reliability principles.

You would be a great fit if:

• You are fully proficient in English. Written and spoken, as we are a bunch from around the world, we work in English.
• You communicate effectively and asynchronously.
• You have an automation mindset, and you prefer machines perform mundane tasks.
• You manage infrastructures with code; it doesn’t exist if it’s not in git.
• You solve problems with other people; you are a team player, not a hero. We share the knowledge (and sometimes the pain).
• You are humble and have a sense of humor; you won’t be alone here.
• You like to use data over opinions to make decisions. And are ok with finding the data yourself when it’s missing.
• You have a strong sense of ownership, care about what you build, and build the right thing that serves your customers.
• You are a builder at heart. You like the opportunity to have tons of exposure, make things work for a company long-term, and have an entrepreneurial attitude for anything that comes your way.
• You are comfortable with changes in priorities, goals, and deadlines. You see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. You are also comfortable challenging the status quo and pushing for change yourself.
