About the role

Bubble builds an AI visual development platform for creating scalable applications across web, iOS, and Android.

About the team:

Our Scaling team executes on scaling, reliability, and enablement efforts to support its largest customers. Its scope includes scalable infrastructure and core backend software systems, delivering just-in-time capacity, running workloads quickly, and ensuring data scalability across numerous applications while balancing costs and addressing implementation and infrastructure inefficiencies.

About the role:

You'll help tackle challenges faced by the largest cloud providers, working alongside a small team on a platform reshaping the traditional engineering stack. This role includes after-hours/on-call availability.

In this role, you'll:

  • Contribute to infrastructure that scales to apps of any size and complexity.
  • Improve performance and reliability across backend services, supporting efficiency, capacity management, and the data tier.
  • Support observability efforts across core system components, help implement SLOs, and surface performance characteristics to end users.
  • Build and iterate on core backbone services that support billions of requests across arbitrary end-user applications.
  • Contribute to the workflow engine and data tier, supporting high-volume ingest, export, and workflows for direct-to-consumer applications.
  • Build foundational services and tools for next-generation cloud infrastructure.
  • Participate in triage and on-call processes to diagnose and resolve issues and help implement changes that prevent recurrence.

About you:

  • 2+ years of industry experience as a software engineer, preferably with experience in high-growth startups.
  • Strong coding skills.
  • Some understanding of scalable distributed systems, and a willingness to build proficiency with languages and tools such as Node.js, Rust, PostgreSQL, and Terraform (AWS experience is a plus).
  • Ownership mindset, taking initiative to build and fix.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with a track record of contributing to solutions that scale to complex and high-traffic applications.
  • Excellent communication skills to effectively partner with teammates and managers, and the ability to commit to and execute priorities.
  • Willingness to participate in on-call processes to help quickly diagnose and resolve issues.
  • Alignment with our values, including a desire to empower others, a focus on team and user success over individual achievement, and transparency and willingness to admit mistakes and failures.

Our tech stack:

While we do not require new hires to be experts in our tech stack on day 1, familiarity and a willingness to learn fast is helpful. Our tech stack includes:

  • Frontend: TypeScript, SolidJS.
  • Backend: TypeScript, Node.js, Redis, Postgres, TimescaleDB.
  • Infrastructure: AWS (ECS, RDS, ElastiCache), Terraform, TypeScript, Rust.

Compensation:
