Systems Engineer

We make hard problems simple, and aim to free developers from operating and maintaining their own realtime infrastructure.

The current Pusher product is a multi-tenant distributed system that allows our customers to deliver billions of messages to their connected users. We operate at massive scale, and this informs and affects everything we do.

Our engineering team is based in London. We are looking for engineers who will thrive working in a challenging environment on interesting problems. We aim for developer autonomy, and work with a modified Kanban process. Our engineering team is also heavily involved in operations, so you need to know how to deploy, monitor and maintain a large production system.

We are demanding about who we hire, and look for personal qualities as much as experience.

Requirements

• You show perseverance in the face of tough challenges
• You can explore uncertain territory and create innovative solutions
• You are constantly curious about new technology
• You are pragmatic where necessary, but a perfectionist where it counts

In terms of practical experience, it helps if you've worked on distributed systems in the past, or have fulfilled a sysadmin/ops role. You should have experience programming in an evented style in multiple languages and frameworks.
