Scalyr | Backend, Frontend, Devops, Customer Success Engineers | San Mateo, CA | ONSITE
I've built half a dozen startups, including Writely (aka Google Docs), and I can honestly say that Scalyr is my favorite so far. We're building an amazing team, users rave about our product, and things are taking off – we're closing seven-figure contracts and revenue grew 5x last year. And we're doing it on a sane, 40-hour, daily-team-hike, Fridays-at-home schedule. We're pre-series-A, but in many ways playing like a series B company, so this is a chance to get the best of both worlds -- early-stage equity and impact, with later-stage compensation and stability; plus a very strong team for peering or mentorship.
Backend Engineer: We've built a NoSQL data engine from scratch that searches text at 750 GB/second. How'd you like to help us scale and optimize to multiple TB/second?
Devops Engineer: We run hundreds of servers, process 750 GB/second, maintain 99.99% uptime, and almost never get paged (http://blog.scalyr.com/2014/08/99-99-uptime-9-5-schedule/). But we're still not satisfied. How'd you like to take our operations to the next level as we go through our next 10x of growth?
Customer Success Engineer: our customers are engineers. We're looking for someone with lightweight ops experience and good communication skills to help them get the most out of Scalyr. A great opportunity to join the team and work your way up the engineering ladder.
Sorry to hear that! I'll follow up with you offline to make sure we don't let something like this happen again. Thanks for letting me know.
EDIT: we try hard to respond to every personalized message we receive. However, we get a lot of applications on ZipRecruiter that appear to have been sprayed to a large number of employers. It appears that you didn't include any cover letter in your application to us, which made it look like a spray campaign, not indicating any special interest in Scalyr. We don't always respond to those.
In your case, your resume mentions that you're looking for a position "primarily on or looking to migrate to physical hardware", which is not a fit for us at the moment. Given that and the fact that you didn't include any cover letter or personalized note, we didn't respond. If you do think there might be a fit, I'd be happy to talk -- my contact info is in my profile.

Frontend Engineer: "The fastest blog in the world" (https://jacquesmattheij.com/the-fastest-blog-in-the-world) loads in under 100 ms. Help us push our data visualization tools toward that goal.
