Help us mitigate risk while increasing reliability. We’ll trust you to lead our ability to triage and deal with operational issues.

Own our disaster planning and socialize the monitoring and on-call procedures that will help our entire engineering team support you.
You’ll be putting these best practices in place on top of Lever’s homegrown, open-source web framework, DerbyJS.Address the unique operational challenges of a real-time web application. Derby is the first and only open source MVC framework that syncs all data via Operational Transformation, the same algorithm that powers Google Docs and Wave, and which renders everything on the server as well as the client. Derby is still young. You’ll pioneer scalable, robust systems and services on top of our open source stack—DerbyJS, Racer, ShareJS, and LiveDB—that can be used to build great software products beyond Lever.
