🖥️ About the Role:

We have grown frantically in recent months, and sustaining the growth of such a dynamic startup with such a small engineering team means that anyone joining will be making a real impact from day one.

As a team we are tackling some of the most technologically advanced challenges out there! We develop software with which we orchestrate thousands of CPU cores, hundreds of gigabytes of memory, manage millions of daily requests, and have outgoing network traffic of hundreds of terabytes per month, simulate human behavior to not be detected by antibot services developed by companies with thousands of engineers and billions of dollars in budget!

The Engineering team is truly multidisciplinary and no day is the same. You will end up touching (and learning) a lot of different technologies in a lot of different projects but we just need you not to be afraid. No one will blame you if you need to learn the syntax when switching technologies, introduce bugs, or it's the first time you've seen something similar.

Autonomy is the key to everything we do and although the company's roadmap is always present, day-to-day tasks are not marked. Most of the time, you will decide what you will focus on and what you think adds value.

👨‍💻👩‍💻 The Person:

Proactive and responsible professionals: we hate micromanagement, perhaps as much as you do. We neither want nor can we be overseeing someone on a day-to-day basis. We need someone who isn't afraid to experiment, fail, or discuss with the rest of the team.
Eager to learn and experiment with new technologies constantly as we have an infinity of things to develop, and for that, we continuously incorporate new tools, programming languages, and services into our technology stack.
Self-taught and problem-solver: although the rest of the team will lend you a hand when needed, we need you to be able to tackle problems on your own. We want someone who encounters an error, identifies the root problem, and finds the solution.
A non-stack profile: knowing how to develop software and understanding how it is developed in a team is enough. Technologies change, and they are not too different from each other. But if you master the basics, you'll learn Go, PHP, or TypeScript in a few weeks without much issue.
Go, as it is our main programming language, and most of the software you'll contribute to on a daily basis is developed in this language.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), since all our software runs 100% in the public cloud, and the vast majority, specifically on AWS. We use dozens of services like Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon ECS, AWS Fargate, Amazon ElastiCache, SNS, SQS, Lambda functions, etc.
Containers, like all our software, run inside containers during most of their lifecycle (development, testing, and production). You have much to gain if you understand at least how they work!
Git, since we use GitHub as version control, and even if you don't know the difference between a merge and a rebase yet, we need you to know what a commit, a pull request, a branch, etc., are.
Terraform, as we treat 100% of our cloud-deployed infrastructure as code. The manifests to deploy from the first to the last service are in repos, and therefore, any infrastructure change that needs to be made must be developed this way.

😅 Why you will hate working here….

We are a small yet efficient team of 20 and our competitors are 10x our size. The way we outperform them is by everyone working to their utmost ability. There is nowhere to hide within Zenrows so if you are just looking for a job rather than a mission then you probably shouldn’t apply. We work 100% remotely and give our people the freedom to work wherever they choose. To offset this there is naturally more need to document and update workflows than in other companies. If you hate documenting then you probably shouldn’t apply.Feedback is how we better ourselves every day and we foster a culture that encourages everyone to have a voice. If you don’t like being surrounded by world class talent that will always express strong opinions then you probably shouldn’t applyWe are a start-up and know the growth journey holds plenty of lessons to learn. If you are looking for the perfect organization, flawless processes and predictability in your day to day then you probably shouldn’t apply.

😍 Why you will love working here….

Our people crave ownership and opportunity over everything else. We offer responsibility and scope to do things in your role that you can only dream of in similar roles in larger companies.
We have a CEO who values world class talent over everything else. Trust and respect is earned and with it comes reward and recognition like nowhere else.
In a world where it feels like everyone is being called back being in an office, we operate a truly 100% remote approach that allows you to work from anywhere you choose.
Forget Agile, Scrum, Lean... or whatever development methodology is trendy this week. We give you a horizontal view that enables you to identify where you think you can contribute the most.
We have fun! The above may sound like we are all about work but we put a lot of focus on ensuring our culture is one that our people enjoy, lets you build lasting friendships and grow both personally and professionally.

🤩 What rewards and benefits would I get in this role?

100% remote work: We are a company that offers true freedom. Work wherever life takes you.
The salary you are worth: We never ask people what they are earning but instead what you are looking for. If your ability and experience justifies it and we think you are going to help us succeed then we will match your expectations.
The equipment you want: We believe in giving our people the tools they need to succeed and don’t have a default machine to give you.
Generous Learning & Development budget: We believe in always adding value to our top performers and helping them grow their skills in a direction that is beneficial both to them and the business
All Star Awards: We recognize achievements in many ways within the business but the bi-annual All star rewards allows the CEO to tailor reward packages to the person. Whether this is a holiday destination of choice, a learning course that adds value or something else.. We believe in getting to know every employee personally.
BitWarden Account: With employees working remotely all over the world we are keen to ensure we empower them with tools to keep passwords as secure as possible.
Charity Initiatives: We are a business that believes in giving back to the community and every year allows our employees the opportunity to give back.
Annual Kick-Off: We want our employees to spend some face to face time together every year and get excited about the challenges and strategy for the year ahead.
Share in Our Success: We want our top performers to be part of the company's success and offer opportunities for stock option allocation when people show their value.
Deel Benefits: As a fully remote organization we employ our people via Deel. This not only brings freedom of location but also a host of other benefits including discounts on VPNs, memberships and services.

🙏 Our Values

We are proud of our uniquely agile, fast paced, and autonomous environment. Our core values of Ownership, Dedication, Impact, Transparency and Agility run through everyone who works for us, and everything we do.

We are committed to protecting the mental health of our employees and aim to create a great place to work, whoever you are and wherever in the world you work from.
