Developing software appeals to those who love to solve puzzles and apply their brain power — and also to those, in our experience, who like working from home in their pyjamas. It is often said that one of the trickiest accomplishments in the development world is imagining, building and maintaining a complex and interconnected mental model of your entire infrastructure within your working memory. If you have experience applying this mental feat within some type of Software-as-a-Service, we have a tremendous challenge for you and a terrific team willing and able to support you through it.

We need crafty engineers to help build the Compose Platform. The platform team is responsible for building and enhancing our database operations platform, which means fun systems problems — container orchestration, distributed computing, high volume data sync. If you’re interested in creating powerful data wrangling tools for thousands of developer teams worldwide, we want to talk to you. You’ll do best here if you can work without much oversight, reason about complex systems, and break big problems down into manageable pieces.

One of the first steps in our hiring process is a work sample. We know this is a different process than you’re used to, but it’s all part of an effort to minimize our own biases as much as possible. If you’re the best person for the job, we want to take away all our human filters and allow you to show it. We respect a fancy education or a list of spectacular previous accomplishments, but nothing is more impressive than the right combination of ingredients – which you can objectively demonstrate.

We understand that a complex introductory work sample is a big first request, and so we’ll spend as much time as you’d like talking with you to make sure you are comfortable with the process and feel that you’re being treated fairly and with respect.

We look forward to meeting you!
