We’re a scrappy, distributed team (SF, Fort Worth, Barcelona, Las Vegas) building tools that make developers’ lives better. We’re looking for a Lead SDK Engineer to own design, developer experience, and implementation of the libraries our customers use to interact with Rollbar from their code.
About us:
We help thousands of developers find and fix bugs quickly
Our open source libraries are used by some of the best engineering teams in the world, including Twilio, Heroku, Instacart and Twitch.
Our backend handles billions of errors with low latency and high reliability
Our low latency processing pipeline allows developers to discover and drill down across millions of errors in real-time
Our tech stack:
Open source libraries/SDKs for Javascript, Ruby, PHP, Python, Android, iOS, Java, . NET
React, Webpack, Sass, Python, Nodejs
MySQL, ElasticSearch, Redis, Kafka, Memcache
GitHub, CircleCI, Travis CI, Rollbar
You will:
Own development and maintenance of our open source libraries (“SDKs”)
Define the common specification that all libraries should adhere to, and work to implement that spec in each SDK
Manage contractors and collaborate with outside contributors (e.g. reviewing pull requests) to aid the above efforts
Work with the Rollbar Core Team to implement new Rollbar features in the SDKs and relay feedback back to the core team
Help customers use the SDKs by writing docs, triaging questions, and investigating bug reports
Research and prototype integrations with new languages and frameworks
Have fun while releasing software used directly by thousands and indirectly by millions
You are:
A polyglot programmer: strong in at two programming languages, familiar with many, and have an appetite for learning new languages and frameworks
A tinkerer: you develop a deep understanding of the things you work with, and you find ways to make them better
Experienced as a technical lead
Experienced with API design
Always improving and welcoming of feedback
Proud of the products you build and the impact they have for our customers
Bonus points:
Open source experience – experience as a maintainer/core contributor of open source projects
Experience on a distributed team in a lead role
Experience with Rollbar in your personal or professional projects
