Full Stack Engineer at Sematext Group, Inc.

Description

We are looking for a talented, self-starting full-stack developer to join our Sematext Cloud development team. On the frontend we use React, Redux, ChartJS, etc. On the backend we use Go, Elasticsearch, Kafka, ClickHouse, Kotlin, Node.js, and a bit of legacy Java. For our monitoring agents we use eBPF, Go, Rust, and Java, and we use a log shipper written in Rust. All our infrastructure is in AWS. We use Terraform and Ansible for automation and Jenkins for CI. All of our applications run in Docker containers orchestrated using Kubernetes. We try to automate everything we can. We use Github workflow and Kanban boards in JIRA. Most developers use Docker running on Linux or OSX. See further below about how we work.

This position will let you work with all our products, large volumes of streaming data, contribute to our open-source projects, and interact with users and customers using our products. We don’t expect you to know everything coming in – we’ll pair you with peers who will help you improve your skills and close any experience gaps.

Although this position is advertised as a Full Stack Engineer position, we are also looking for purely backend and purely frontend oriented individuals.
