\nRo is a direct-to-patient healthcare company with a mission of helping patients achieve their health goals by delivering the easiest, most effective care possible. Ro is the only company to offer nationwide telehealth, labs, and pharmacy services. This is enabled by Ro's vertically integrated platform that helps patients achieve their goals through a convenient, end-to-end healthcare experience spanning from diagnosis, to delivery of medication, to ongoing care. Since 2017, Ro has helped millions of patients in nearly every single county in the United States, including 98% of primary care deserts.\n\n\nThe healthcare system today is not designed to help patients achieve their goals. Itโs designed around institutions such as hospitals and insurance companies. A patient centric healthcare system is one that is designed around the goals a patient wants to achieve. Weโre building healthcare that puts patients in control, provides reactive and proactive care, has transparent pricing and process, is extremely effective and ridiculously convenient, and evolves over time based on patientsโ goals.\n\n\nRo has been recognized as a Fortune Best Workplace in New York and Health Care for four consecutive years (2021-2024).

\nLoopโs DevOps engineers have deep technical infrastructure skills in cloud technologies, observability, containerization, automation tools, and configuration management. Our projects and decisions are guided by two ultimate goals: to architect a resilient and secure platform, and to make our fellow engineersโ lives easier. \n\n\nThe DevOps engineers are the primary SME for building and maintaining common infrastructure required by all of Loopโs applications. Together with our sister-team, Developer Experience, we work to build a seamless developer environment to make development, deployment, and maintenance a frictionless experience for Loopโs Software Engineers. The Staff DevOps Engineer reports to the Director of Platform Engineering, works across DevOps, DevEx and Security, while partnering with Product Engineering. All teams within the Engineering Department - DevOps included - share the responsibility for ongoing operation of Loopโs applications (think monitoring and incident response).\n\n\nMembers of the DevOps team have a strong pull to leave the world (or at the very least, the software industry) better than they found it. They know how to interact with both empathy and confidence: when they feel strongly about their opinions they dig in their heels, but they also know how to help their peers truly shine. They are just as aware of and comfortable with their limitations as their strengths โ bonus points if you can tell us the last time you brought down production and how you learned from it.\n\n\nWeโve listed what to expect and where youโll be spending your time. This is an indispensable role with us, so weโre looking for examples of when youโve tackled similar challenges throughout your career.

Because of that, weโre incredibly thoughtful about our compensation strategy. We want you to feel safe and excited, but also comfortable with the compensation package of a startup.

This job post is closed and the position is probably filled. Please do not apply. Work for Flightcontrol and want to re-open this job? Use the edit link in the email when you posted the job!
Hey there! Iโm Brandon Bayer, the founder and CEO of Flightcontrol. We are 4 person startup fresh out of Y Combinator thatโs building something truly special. More than fundamentally changing the way most people deploy applications, weโre intentionally building the most life-giving and fulfilling company possible. My cofounder Mina and I care so deeply about building a company that helps people become the fullest version of who they are and helps them thrive personally and professionally.
Flightcontrol is solving the huge gap between Heroku and AWS
Today there is a big tradeoff between Heroku (and itโs derivatives) which is easy to use but very limiting and restricting, and AWS which gives you full power and control but is a nightmare to use. We solve this by providing a layer on top of a companyโs own AWS account that makes it very easy to use while still letting them pop the hood and leverage the raw power of AWS directly.
The classic problem with things like Heroku is that you inevitably reach a point of scale at which you outgrow Heroku and have to undergo a time consuming and expensive migration to AWS directly. So our approach is to bring the Heroku style DX (or better!) to your own AWS account. With Heroku you have their custom layer of infrastructure between you and AWS. But with Flightcontrol, there is no custom infra โ itโs just pure AWS and your services can scale as much as AWS can scale.
Our approach is to take the best AWS services (like Fargate and RDS), make them extremely simple and easy to use, and give you the very best in class setup possible. For example, we automatically configure Cloudfront in front of Fargate services. And since you own the infra, you can go into AWS to tweak and customize anything you need.
So far our customers are in love with the product, saying things like โyouโve nailed the simplicity without sacrificing controlโ and โthis is probably the best way Iโve ever deployed my softwareโ.
Last fall we started building Flightcontrol, got accepted into the Y Combinator Winter 2022 batch, and raised a $1M preseed round.
We launched the second week of January and now already have 19 paying customers live in production. Most of these are companies with brownfield apps that theyโve migrated from Heroku, Render, Vercel, or their own custom AWS setups, including kubernetes.
In March, we grew from 11 to 19 paying customers and doubled the AWS resources weโre managing for customers.
Here at the end of March, we just finished the Y Combinator batch and completed raising an additional $2.2M seed round.
We have amazing investors, including Matt Biilmann (Netlify), Doron Sherman (VP of DevRel, Cloudinary), Randall Kent (Cypress.io), Zach Holman (#9 at Github), Nader Dabit (former AWS), Brian Douglas, Swizec, and Shawn Wang (swyx).
Meet Our Current Team of 4
Brandon Bayer, Founder and CEO. Dayton, Ohio. You might know me as the creator of Blitz.js. Although highly technical, my strengths are product design and marketing. My superpower is simplicity. My top values that define everything I do are excellence, equality, inclusion, and freedom. Outside of work I love traveling, flying airplanes and helicopters, and rock climbing. My intention is to be the very best CEO and manager in the world. With a goal to build the best company to work for. Iโm not here to be a boss. Iโm here to support you and help make your dreams come true.
Mina Abadir, Cofounder. Toronto, Canada. Mina is the technical genius that brings our core product features to life. Heโs deeply authentic and caring, loves to laugh, and greatly enjoys a good video game. His superpower is empathy.
Aleksandra Sikora, Lead Blitz Maintainer. Poland. She joined last fall as our first employee, mostly maintaining Blitz but has also been helping tremendously on Flightcontrol. Sheโs incredibly intelligent and talented, and loves traveling, hiking, and rock climbing. She brings so much joy and life to our team!
Dillon Raphael, Senior Blitz Maintainer. Toronto, Canada. Dillon just joined the last week of March! He has such passion and drive to create amazing things in the world. And on top of that, heโs incredibly sincere and loyal. He brings so much passion and connection to our team!
You?
We need an engineer with AWS devops/SRE experience to help us build our platform product
We need someone who is experienced with AWS. Ideally you have even more experience than Mina and will be able to bring tremendous value to both the design and implementation of features.
You will work alongside my cofounder Mina to develop our core platform functionality. You can see our public roadmap here. There are a ton of hard problems youโll help us solve. Our core product boils down to a very sophisticated orchestration system that integrates with many different services, currently all in AWS but weโll also be adding third-party integrations too.
Ideally you have both wide and deep AWS expertise. Or at a minimum wide with some deep experience and with ability to get deeper on anything thatโs required. Itโs a bonus if you already have any AWS certifications.
We use Typescript and Temporal to build all our AWS integrations. Temporal is an incredible technology that came out of Uber for managing complex backend workflows. It simplifies complexity in a similar way to how async/await simplifies promises and callbacks. We donโt expect you to know Temporal โ weโll help you get up to speed on it as much as you need.
For Flightcontrol features, we usually use a Cloudformation stack to create the initial service, but after that we use the AWS Typescript SDK to make direct API calls for updating and changing services.
To summarize, you should have:
Knowledge with wide range of AWS services
Ability to use multiple AWS services to build complex solutions
Good working knowledge of security and networking best practices
Experience with both server and serverless infrastructure
Know your way through Docker
Know Typescript or have the desire and ability to learn Typescript
AWS certification is ++
What We Expect of You
Bring as much of your personal self to work as you are comfortable with
Do your very best work
Have a life outside work, whether itโs hobbies, side projects, reading, etc. As long as you have something and work isnโt all you live for
Complete honesty and integrity
Be creative and innovative
Be involved in our product planning, bringing your own ideas for what we should be doing and how we should be doing it.
Help give our customers the very best experience possible. We all help with customer support.
Be a leader. As one of our first employees, our future hires will look up to you and learn from you.
Be human. We donโt expect you to be perfect. We all have a basement of bad experiences, insecurities, and anxieties. Our hope is that being part of our team is a huge beam of sunshine in your life that encourages and empowers you to overcome the challenges in the rest of your life.
This Job Is Not For You If
You are not interested in growing professionally or personally
You need or want someone to tell you exactly what to do
You donโt want to bring any of your personal self to work. Weโre actually totally ok with that, but the rest of us bring a lot of ourselves to work so that might be uncomfortable for you.
You arenโt ok with with the company growing in team size, first slowly, but then increasing in speed over the next 1-2 years. When we enter that growth stage, youโll have to learn to give away your Legos and work on bigger and more impactful things every so many months.

32 Hour Work Week - More and more companies are finding that people accomplish the same amount of work in 32 hours as in 40 hours. Because it's nearly impossible to be fully productive at tech work for 8 hours every day. For most people, about 6 hours of focused work per day is the limit.
Minimum 4 Weeks PTO - It's critical to have good work life balance, so you must take at least 4 weeks PTO each year.
Unlimited Sick Leave - If you are feeling crappy, you aren't going to be doing your best work. So rest, get better, then come back energized.
Menstrual Leave - There's no use trying to be productive when you are suffering. Take the day(s) off as PTO, no explanation needed.
2+ In-Person Company Gatherings Per Year
Open Source - We are passionate about open-source and encourage you to contribute on company time to anything that will benefit the company
Equipment - We'll make sure you have all the equipment you need to have an ergonomic, productive environment, including a standing desk and external monitors.
