#About Us\nAt [Close](https://close.com), we're building the sales communication platform of the future. With our roots as the very first sales CRM to include built-in calling, we're leading the industry toward eliminating manual processes and helping companies to close more deals(faster). Since our founding in 2013, we've grown to become a profitable, 100% globally distributed team of 60+ high-performing, happy people that are dedicated to building a product our customers love.\n\nOur backend [tech stack](https://stackshare.io/close-crm/close) currently consists of Python Flask web apps with our [TaskTiger](https://github.com/closeio/tasktiger) scheduler handling many of the backend asynchronous task processing chores. Our data stores include MongoDB, Postgres, Elasticsearch, and Redis. The underlying infrastructure runs on AWS using a combination of managed services like EKS, MSK, RDS and ElasticCache and non-managed services running on EC2 instances. All of our compute runs through CI/CD pipelines that build Docker images, run automated tests and deploy to our Kubernetes clusters. Our backend primarily serves a well-documented [public API](https://developer.close.com/) that our front-end JavaScript app consumes. Our infrastructure is heavily automated using AWS tools, Terraform, and Ansible.\n\nWe open source – using dozens of open source projects with contributions to many of them, and released some of our own like [ciso8601](https://github.com/closeio/ciso8601),[LimitLion](https://github.com/closeio/limitlion), [SocketShark](https://github.com/closeio/socketshark), [TaskTiger](https://github.com/closeio/tasktiger), and more at https://github.com/closeio\n\n#About You\nWe're looking for a full-time Site Reliability Engineer with a passion for databases(both SQL and NoSQL) to join our core team who has significant experience building, managing, and monitoring infrastructure, databases, and backend services at scale.\n\n#Come help us with projects like- \n* Scale our Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB clusters to support our data growth\n* Automate the maintenance and upgrades of our PostgreSQL and MongoDB databases\n* Further develop our Prometheus/Grafana monitoring infrastructure\n* Tighten security across our infrastructure\n* Improve our [public API’s](https://developer.close.com/) performance and resiliency\n* Building out our Kubernetes infrastructure to include additional services, increased redundancy/scalability, and harnessing new k8s features\n* Implement autoscaling techniques that balance performance, workload demands and costs\n* Improve our CI/CD process making builds/deployments faster and safer\n\n*Bonus: Are you a PostgreSQL or MongoDB expert?

Learn more about what this can mean for you.\n\nOver 1.7 million businesses have bet their success on the stability and performance of the Shopify platform. In order to support these growing businesses—as well as the next million—our systems need to be fast, reliable, scalable and secure. Accomplishing that will require people like you: talented, curious, growth-minded and empathetic engineering managers that are excited to build, support and lead our infrastructure teams.\n\n**Job Description**\n\nProduction Engineering, which is part of our core engineering organization, builds, operates and improves the heart of Shopify’s technical platform. We are a fast-growing team focused on building and maintaining tools and services to unlock the power of planet scale infrastructure for all of Shopify’s merchants, buyers and developers. \n\nShopify has grown rapidly over the last number of years.

The Ruby on Rails Engineer position is vital to the success of our company.\n\nYou’ll use your initiative in implementing API’s and integrations to address our business needs along with the rest of the engineering team. Both our clients and staff will be using the software you write. Our small and close knit engineering team currently consists of a UX specialist, 2 frontend engineers, one backend engineer, one WordPress engineer and several QA specialists. You’ll work closely with the team to implement solutions for all departments within Empire Flippers, be it compliance, customer support, sales and migrations. You’ll work closely with the frontend and WordPress engineers to ensure features are implemented correctly to the highest standard, and you’ll work closely with one more backend engineer to ensure scalability, speed, code cleanliness and readability.\n\nThe feature set will have already been decided on – it’s your responsibility to plough ahead with the implementation and to ensure the user experience is elevated to unprecedented levels and ultimately, close more deals.\n\n# Responsibilities\n We believe in hiring people that are a good fit for us culturally.\n\nA good fit is actually more important to us than the skill set since we will teach you everything you need to know.\n\nYou should have a few good years of experience under your belt, having implemented some complex, data driven applications. Your portfolio speaks louder than your words.\n\nYou should be a ninja with every component of our tech stack. You must have a complete working knowledge of RoR in API mode, SQL, Postgres, Sidekiq, Rspec, Git, Redis.\n\nExperience working with a wide range of 3rd party integrations. Our platform talks to many 3rd party applications, you should have experience building and maintaining such integrations in a test driven fashion.\n\nDev-ops/sysadmin skills. Experience with managing servers, maintaining hosting environments, being responsible for uptime and responsiveness, addressing bottlenecks, ensuring backups are kept safe and sound.\n\nYou need to have immaculate attention to detail. We need to hear you grunting and moaning if something doesn’t quite look or feel right, to the nearest code change and to the nearest hexadecimal color, to the point you become annoying to us. At times other developers may edit your code, you’ll be watching to ensure the code base remains readable, scalable and fast.\n\nBe a good communicator. It sounds very cliché, but you’ll immerse yourself in almost every department, you’ll be learning problems and presenting solutions, and also overseeing the implementation of those solutions too.\n\nA self-starter. We need to see some evidence that you’re able to get up every morning, bite the bullet and just get on with it, even if you’ve tried four coffee shops and none have decent wifi. You won’t have eyes looking over your shoulder on a day to day basis, you’ll be working in almost full autonomy, we’ll need to trust you to deliver the goods. We don’t believe in micro-management.\n\nThe following skills/experience would be a bonus, but not required:\n\nReact. Our client code is written in React. Being able to navigate the front-end code and patch things up would be a huge bonus.\n\nPHP/WordPress. We will be interfacing with WordPress significantly, being able to speak the same language would be great.\n\nDatabases. A comprehensive experience working with various types of SQL and noSQL databases would be very useful. MySQL, Postgres, DynamoDB, Cassandra, to name a few.\n\nCaching. The software we’re building needs to be fast and to remain fast as we scale, both in terms of traffic and database size. Having experience with Memcached, Redis, Varnish or experience with complicated CDN setups with many rules would be a plus. \n\n# Requirements\nHere is the sequence of events we use when hiring our Rails Engineer:\n\nYou record a YouTube video* explaining who you are and why you’re a good fit for the position, fill out an application, and submit it ASAP.\nThe deadline is the 1st of May 2019.\nWe review submissions and schedule interviews.\nSecond interviews are conducted, and a final decision is made.\nThe chosen candidate will begin in May. \n\nPlease mention the words **CAPTAIN HEART TUITION** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMy4xNDguMTk2Ljk=). This is a feature to avoid spam applicants. Companies can search these words to find applicants that read this and see they're human.\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to DevOps, Quality Assurance, PHP, NoSQL, Git, Ruby, API, Admin, Engineer, Sys Admin, Cassandra, Redis, Wordpress, Sales and Backend jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n
