alt Hacker NewsEdgeDB | SREs / Infrastructure Engineers | Full-time | Fully remote | https://www.edgedb.com/
EdgeDB is an open-source database built on top of Postgres. It’s designed to give developers a better end-to-end user experience than traditional SQL databases. We provide a more expressive schema modeling & query language (EdgeQL), and "batteries included" features such as built-in schema migrations and a graphical schema browser, data explorer, and access control/auth.
We offer a hosted cloud service for EdgeDB, with the goal of doing developer-friendly cloud hosting "the right way" - we want users to use our hosted service because it's great, not because they're locked-in by restrictive licensing or cloud-only features.
We are looking for experienced SREs / infrastructure / devops engineers to help scale out our cloud. Unlike many infrastructure roles, this is not supporting a separate product team - for us, our infrastructure is our product. We are looking for people who care about not just building reliable infrastructure but also exposing that infrastructure to end-users as a seamless product.
Our tech stack is Hashicorp tools (Terraform, Consul, Nomad, Vault); Postgres; Golang with some Python & Rust; and AWS (with eventual expansion to other cloud platforms)
We are a remote-first company, headquartered in San Francisco, with most of the team working in US/Canada timezones and a few people in Europe. Unfortunately we are unable to provide any visa/immigration sponsorship at this time.

Posting link points to home page. So just like an ad or does the careers page need updating?
salary range?
PSA I don't think they are really trying to fill these positions. I applied a couple times (with a lot of experience very relevant to their line of work) and didn't hear a thing, but the positions keep getting posted. They are either aiming to H1B it, or are expecting candidates from a specific school/previous-employment? (in which case, don't waste people's time, just reach out to those you are really interested in)
