At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), we believe reading is more important than ever. Join our cast of characters as we build the world’s largest and most fascinating digital library: giving subscribers access to a growing collection of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, documents, Scribd Originals and more. In addition to works from major publishers and top authors. Our community includes over 1.8M subscribers in nearly every country worldwide.

About the team

Life at Scribd starts as a document, eBook or audiobook that gets uploaded to Scribd.

The Service Foundations team at Scribd is full of passionate and fun people who love serving the needs of our millions of monthly readers – on a mission to change the way the world reads.

We are transitioning from a monolithic platform to services. Building a new application service from scratch takes effort and time as engineering teams have to figure out all the nitty gritty details: logging, instrumentation, high-availability, capacity planning, deployment pipelines, SLIs/SLOs and alerting. We are a cross-functional team composed of Ruby, Go and Site Reliability engineers, who take care of the underlying application platform complexity and provide foundational building blocks to product teams, ultimately helping them deliver high quality distributed services that power our products.

We pride ourselves in building reliable, high quality, low latency, scalable service foundations that teams can leverage to easily build, deploy and monitor their self-owned distributed services.

How we think about diversity

We believe the best products are built and designed by a diverse group of people. Scribd is dedicated to hiring a diverse workforce–our team should be as diverse as the people we design for. We welcome applications from people who are currently underrepresented in tech.

One last thing…

If you are still not sure or feel that you don’t meet 100% of the requirements, apply anyway! We don’t hire off keywords. We hire real people who are willing to make mistakes, learn and grow in their careers. We look forward to your application!
