Job description

Gorgias helps e-commerce companies deliver excellent customer service at scale. We integrate email, live chat, voice, Facebook, Instagram, and SMS with Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento.

Our product creates a unified customer profile by combining emails, live-chat, and social-media messages with e-commerce data such as purchase and delivery info. Combining all this data in a single application makes customer service more efficient and just better. Another fortunate side-effect is that some requests are completely automated using machine learning. 💬 + 📦 = ❤️

We've been around since 2015, and we're serving over 9000+ e-commerce businesses, including Steve Madden, Timbuk2, Decathlon, and Sports Illustrated.

Our revenue grew by 80% in 2021 after we raised $25 million Series B in December 2020. We doubled our global team and we accelerated our progress towards our mission to transform support from painful to exceptional for merchants. 🥳

About the Infrastructure engineering team

  • As site reliability engineers, we're continually improving monitoring and alerting using Stackdriver, Datadog, and Sentry. When we have proper monitoring set in place, we can make clear decisions about how to make sure that our infrastructure runs smoothly for our customers on Google Cloud Platform. We also treat the infrastructure as code and are provisioning it using Terraform and Helm. We also work a lot with Postgres, RabbitMQ, PubSub, and Kubernetes.

    • Who are we at work?

  • We manage multiple k8s clusters all around the world with hundreds of nodes and many Tb of database storage, that is why we have a strong preference for people who managed high-traffic web applications for the past 3+ years.
  • Also, because our apps have over 5000 daily active users with sessions longer than 6h/day we put great importance on quality, testing, and code-review all our code - yes, that includes infrastructure code. Sometimes however we gotta go lower level and work directly with VMs, firewalls, and Load Balancers, and have an excellent understanding of Linux and the docker runtime.
  • If this is the type of environment you're looking for, then you should consider applying.

    • Who you are

  • 4-8 years of work experience
  • Programming experience, preferably in Python (a good 3rd of your time will be spent reading python code to investigate performance problems and bottlenecks but you won't be writing the code)
  • You've built an infrastructure from scratch at some point in your career
  • Extensive experience working with modern SRE stack (Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog, Cloud environment)You are looking to be an individual contributor, managing or leading a group of engineers isn't your favorite thing
  • You like to bounce off fresh ideas with other engineers and SREs on how to better automate things

    • Nice to Have

  • You have startup/small-size company experience
  • How you became an SRE is a story worth telling, and we'd love to hear it

  • 💰Competitive salary & equity (90th percentile of the market worldwide): The salary range will vary from €58k to €95k.
