About Spin

Even as we expand, we maintain the close feeling of a small business, with “fireside chats” chats led by our company’s founders, weekly OKR pop-up videos, music-infused presentations at our All Hands meetings, and more. During this time of working remotely, our creativity and shared goals have kept us united and bonded within our virtual community.

We are a diverse team of artists, engineers, designers, urban planners, policymakers, marketers, and operators. We believe in inclusivity and build powerful alliances to fulfill our goals and move our mission forward. Above all, we at Spin are connected by our values and #BeOrange spirit, which represents unity, purpose, passion, and creativity.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior DevOps engineer to deal with the challenge of designing and maintaining a fault-tolerant system that handles thousands of connected IoT devices and mobile apps at scale.

Our stack is primarily Ruby, Rails, Go, Javascript, PostgreSQL, and Redis. We're currently hosted on Heroku and AWS. We run tests on CircleCI. You’d help us build our next generation infrastructure as we scale out towards a more fault-tolerant and distributed system.

Our engineering team consists of engineers that are passionate about creating finely polished and intuitive experiences and, at the same time, obsess over the performance and reliability of what we build. We challenge the status quo and strive towards finding the best way to solve problems.

We promote being a more well-rounded engineer by working on different parts of the engineering stack. We also work in very small groups to keep processes and overhead low, so we have a lot of trust and accountability to perform the work required to build the best product.
