  • Reacting to monitoring alerts and triaging accordingly to resolve issues (even after hours)
  • Proposing solutions to code or architectural problems in a high-traffic environment
  • Doing Root-Cause-Analysis (RCA) exercises and leading/contributing to postmortems for incidents.
  • Helping and training peers
  • Being part of an on-call rota to react to any alerts our monitoring system raises during and outside office hours.
What you already bring to the table:
  • University degree in a related field
  • Experience in a high-traffic distributed architecture
  • Experience writing architectural documentation
  • Experience with our core technologies: GoLang, Cloud providers, and Messaging systems
  • Excellent written and spoken English skills
Extra awesome:
  • Experience working in a remote company or a startup.
  • Previous working experience with Kafka, Terraform, Kubernetes, & Elasticsearch

*Typeform drives hundreds of millions of interactions each year, enabling conversational, human-centered experiences across the globe.
