Job description
Our mission is to improve the UX of the internet. We can only achieve that goal with a performant, resilient, and cost-effective product. We’re looking to expand our Production Engineering team to meet the ambitious goals that will take Chromatic into our next phase of scaling.
Our elastic browser rendering grid runs on AWS, taking millions of snapshots daily while maintaining resilience, consistency, and fast performance. To achieve that, we’re constantly dreaming, architecting, implementing, maintaining, and adapting our solutions to meet the demands of our expanding customer base. As we become an integral part of the development workflow at some of the biggest companies in the world, we also need to continue to improve the security of our applications so that those customers will feel safe in choosing and staying with us. We need an experienced hand to help keep our ambitious promises to our customers when they choose Chromatic.
You’ll join our growing Production Engineering team of DevOps and Site Reliability Engineers at an exciting time, as we move from our core mission of keeping Chromatic as stable, cost-effective, and performant as it already is, to architecting the future of the platform as we continue to scale. Whether you’re a Terraform whisperer or a CVE detective, we need your unique skills to enable our engineering teams to build out what they haven’t yet dreamt of.
If you’re motivated by tackling complex technical challenges alongside smart, capable, and empathetic people, let’s chat!
