About the role
- Across all of it, our job is to make hard infrastructure feel fast, dependable, and easy for developers.
- The common thread is turning messy customer pain into crisp product and technical work.
- This is a high-ownership role on a small team.
Responsibilities
- Own product work across the web console, APIs, CLI, GitHub integrations, billing and usage, permissions, docs, and internal tools.
- Turn ambiguous customer pain into clear product and technical plans, then carry them through design, implementation, rollout, and measurement.
- Improve developer-facing workflows for CI, container builds, cache, registry, runners, setup, logs, errors, and integrations.
- Design APIs and data models that are consistent, understandable, and safe to evolve.
- Raise the engineering bar through design docs, code review, mentorship, and calm technical leadership.
- For this role we can currently support hiring within North America and Europe.
- you make choices, own outcomes, and share what you learn when those choices work or do not.
- We rely on clear writing, async collaboration, and people who can create clarity without waiting for perfect instructions.
Requirements
- Experience owning meaningful projects from ambiguity to production, including sequencing, tradeoffs, rollout, and follow-through.
- Typically this comes from 7+ years of production engineering experience, or equivalent depth in product, platform, infrastructure, or developer tools.
- We care as much about how you work as what you know.
- Direct experience with our exact stack helps, but it is not the bar.
Nice to have
- TypeScript, Go, React, protobuf/gRPC-style APIs, MySQL/PlanetScale, ClickHouse, AWS, and OpenTelemetry.
Company info
- We are a small team trying to do unusually ambitious work.
Equal opportunity
- Depot is an equal opportunity employer.
- We welcome candidates from different backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if your experience does not match every bullet.
- If you need a reasonable accommodation during the interview process, let us know.
