Responsibilities
• You'll do a variety of things including: • Designing and implementing SDK and platform features. Shipping new capabilities end to end, from API surface to production rollout. • Database design. Developing database schemas and data models that hold up as the product scales. • Query performance and data access. Creating and optimising query performance and data access patterns. • Building backend systems that stand up to production load. Reliability, throughput, and durability are part of the job, not someone else's. • Scalable APIs and services. Designing and implementing API endpoints and services that handle real customer traffic. • Security as a default. Applying security best practices in everything you ship. • Monitoring, logging, and debugging. Implementing the observability tooling that lets us spot problems and fix them fast. • Architecture and technical roadmap. Contributing to architectural decisions and shaping where the platform goes next. • We build in public, so you can see some of the things you might work on here https://feedback.trigger.dev/. • Working at a Commercial Open Source Software company is more than just coding: • We have an active community on Discord and GitHub. Everyone on the team helps customers, reviews PRs, and creates issues. • Having great documentation is essential. Everyone writes docs. • We're a product-led growth company, so everyone is expected to get involved in creating content like code examples, blog articles, videos, and tweets.
Benefits
• We use PostHog's salary calculator https://posthog.com/handbook/people/compensation to benchmark fair and transparent compensation, which varies based on employee location and level of experience (this role falls under "Backend engineer"). • Generous, transparent compensation and equity - We hire the best talent and pay to reflect that. We also offer equity as a way to ensure everyone is invested in the success of the company. • Async working - Need a heads-down day or meeting-free days to stay productive? No problem! • Home office - We will help provide equipment for a comfortable setup so you're as productive at home as you are in the office. • Generous vacation - We believe it's important to take time off. We encourage you to take your 25 days vacation excluding national holidays, plus sick leave and generous parental leave. • Training budget - An annual budget to contribute towards learning such as purchasing books, an Audible subscription or online courses. • Pension and 401k contributions - Enroll in our company pension scheme or we'll contribute directly to your private pension. • We are proud to be open source - We believe in the open source community and building a great free-to-use product. We encourage community contributions and are public about what we are building. • We ship uncomfortably fast - As a startup, moving fast is key. We are pragmatic about what we build, when we build it, and value iterative development above all. • Working autonomously - We don't tell you what to do. We decide as a team what will have the biggest impact for our customers and prioritise what we work on from that.
