Infracost helps engineering teams understand cloud costs before they deploy infrastructure changes. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us solve challenging problems at scale.
What we’re looking for:
* Solid experience with statically typed languages. Our core parsing functionality is in Golang.
* Knowledge of Node.js and TypeScript—our APIs and business logic rely heavily on them.
* Experience building and maintaining complex systems, solving integration, performance, and scalability challenges.
* (Preferred) Familiarity with Terraform, Kubernetes, and AWS—we use these tools, and so do our customers.
Recent challenges we’ve tackled:
* Refactoring our Terraform HCL evaluator to handle monorepos with thousands of projects.
* Mapping Terraform resources to their deployed cloud counterparts accurately.
* Scaling our APIs and onboarding to support customers with thousands of GitHub orgs and tens of thousands of repos.
Great point about the multiple API calls. One of the big problems we’ve heard about using SCPs is that they are too late. If a deployment fails because of them the developer needs to go through another pull request/code review.
Estimating costs for serverless technologies upfront is definitely challenging. We're thinking of bringing in the last 30 days of usage for these resources to give engineers some visibility.
Awesome, yeah we’ve seen people using this method and the main complaint we’ve heard is this is annoying for developers since it blocks their deployments when they run `terraform apply`, so they need to create new pull requests and wait for another code review. Combining both can definitely help with this.
