About the role
- This role requires working time overlap with US PST.
- Our existing systems engineering team is in San Francisco and works in person several days a week.
Responsibilities
- Architect and implement solutions in our queueing layer, state store, and execution layer (eg. concurrency over time, or function debounce)
- Plan and implement improvements on throughput, and latency at hundreds of thousands to millions of requests per second
- Collaborate with team members to expose internal data across metrics stores, APIs, and customer dashboards we host in our cloud UI
- Work with backend engineers to design APIs that can be used across the Inngest cloud dashboard, dev server and CLIs
- Dogfood the Inngest product and develop ideas for improvements, features, or integrations
- You understand how to observe, monitor, and maintain the systems you design
Nice to have
- Ideally, you'd live in the SF Bay Area, but for strong candidates you may live anywhere in the United States.
Company info
- Inngest is solving long standing developer problems in a novel way which means we're creating first-of-it's-kind solutions. We're building tools that developers will use in their everyday workflow so efforts to improve UX and performance are primary. Importantly, you'll need a strong product mindset and an interest in developer tools.
- The role
- To be able to build something that scales and functions well, a Systems Engineer needs to be both a generalist and a specialist. Along with our existing team, you'll be responsible for the inner workings of our queueing system (eg. working on debounce, concurrency over time), state store (handling terabytes to petabytes of storage), the API layers in-between, and sometimes the high-level SDKs that our users build with.
- Your work will directly impact millions of developers, and you'll collaborate with our designers, engineers, and founders to build the best experience possible.

- Contribute to systems architecture and infrastructure changes as we grow
- Communicate with our users through Github, email and Discord
- Write technical specs for features and documentation for our users
- Ideal candidate
- You've been working on distributed systems for several years
- You've used Go or similar statically typed languages professionally for two years or more
- You've architected, or been involved in designing, systems that handle scale
- You understand engineering trade-offs and can make correct judgement calls on approaches available
- You appreciate simplicity, even if it's harder to design and build
- Bonus points
- Work with compliance (SOC2, ISO27001, HIPAA, etc.) and know how to make it serve security approaches and not the other way around
- Experienced or have a solid understanding of networking
