Perry Street Software | Remote (EU/LatAm/North America) | Senior DevOps/Ruby | Fulltime
As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will help run the cloud infrastructure that powers our Ruby API for our family of LGBTQ+ mobile dating apps. We are looking for engineers who are passionate about architecture and monads! Ok just kidding about the last part -- but you can see more about our approach to API development in our Medium blog series at https://medium.com/perry-street-software-engineering/a-summa.... The position is 40 hours per week and ongoing/full-time. Our company is also proud to have recently launched the first architectural linter for Ruby, described at the link above.
We spend a lot of time describing our technology and our approach on our Blog, above. If you want to make it to the first round of in-person Zoom interviews with our company, take the time to read our blog posts, and let us know how what we've done compares to, or could have helped with, your experience. Given the volume of applications we read, the most impactful applications contain cover letters with specific examples, demonstrate understanding of the business in which we operate, and include updated and detailed LinkedIn profiles. Candidates using AI to assist in building an application for this role should consider how their cover letter contains specific examples of experience with our actual job requirements, as well as demonstrable interest in and understanding of our company and community. Note that purely AI-written applications will not be considered for any role.
Our company makes extensive use of architectural linters -- Konsist for Android and Harmonize for Swift. At this point we have hundreds of architectural lint rules that the AI will violate, read, and correct. We also describe our architecture in a variety of skills files. I can't imagine relying solely on markdown files to keep consistency throughout our codebase, the AI still makes too many mistakes or shortcuts.
