Job Description
You will own the stability and speed of our production system. You will make the platform faster, cheaper, and more reliable—then prove it with numbers.
What you will own
PostgreSQL performance & reliability: query plans, indexes, partitioning, connection pooling, replication, backups, slow query triage; functions/triggers (we use the fx gem heavily)
Containers: Docker/BuildKit, multi-stage builds, base images, smaller images, faster builds
CI/CD: build caching, test parallelization (turbo_tests), deployment workflows
PaaS operations (Render or similar): service configs, autoscaling, environment management, zero-downtime deploys
Observability: error tracking, performance monitoring, logs, alerting
Background jobs: queue health, throughput, failure handling, worker scaling
Security: secrets, dependency updates, vulnerability scanning
You are a fit if
You can take a slow Postgres-backed endpoint and make it fast (and keep it fast)
You are comfort...
