Full Stack Engineer

Porter is a Platform as a Service that runs in the user's own cloud. We allow users to deploy applications to their own AWS/GCP accounts by simply pointing at the code they want to run and automate devops from CI/CD to autoscaling. Under the hood, Porter runs on Kubernetes but abstracts away its complexity from the end user.

We're looking for a full stack engineer who is fluent in React/Typescript but comfortable working across the entire stack. This includes building on top of our Go backend as well as working directly with the Kubernetes and Helm APIs. Since Porter is a PaaS that abstracts the complexity of Kubernetes, deeply considered design/architectural decisions are the lifeblood of our platform.

You will:

• Build and maintain new features on the Porter dashboard
• Develop our Go API to accommodate additional k8s/Helm behaviors
• Create applets and add-ons for popular technologies like MySQL, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.
• Improve the UI and organization of the dashboard
• Raise the standard for code quality and our engineering culture

We value rate of learning above all else. Full stack experience and fluency with React/TypeScript is expected, but less familiarity with Go/Kubernetes is fine if you're a voracious and self-directed learner. Infrastructure management isn't rocket science, but it does involve thinking and working across multiple levels of abstraction at once.

Some technical challenges we face:

• Abstracting Kubernetes
• Auto-Generated Frontend
• Cloud Agnosticism
• Many Integrations

Tech stack:

• Web: React (styled-components), TypeScript
• Backend: Go, Kubernetes + Helm APIs, Postgres, Redis
• Infrastructure: AWS, GCP

We are a fully in-person team located in NYC, and we require that you come into the office everyday.
