The Job

As a DevOps Engineer, you'll be working with the engineering team to monitor and improve our security, infrastructure, and performance.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Elevating our DevOps standards through improved monitoring, tooling, and processes
  • Planning and performing infrastructure improvements and maintenance
  • Monitoring and improving website stability and response times
  • Monitoring and improving email deliverability
  • Participating in the on-call rotation
  • Triaging, replicating, and fixing potential security issues
  • Maintaining high CI build success rates and low CI build run times

Currently, our entire platform is built as a majestic Rails monolith, using Vue.js with Typescript on the front-end.

More details about our tech stack:

  • Testing is done with RSpec & Capybara
  • Continuous integration and deployment are done with CircleCI
  • MySQL and PostgreSQL for our main databases
  • Redis and KeyDB for our activity feeds, session storage, queue management, and caching (currently migrating to ScyllaDB)
  • ElasticSearch for full-text search
  • DevOps using Containers orchestrated with Kubernetes and Helm
  • Service and performance monitoring is done with DataDog and NewRelic

About You

We're looking for someone who has proven experience building and maintaining large production-level Ruby on Rails applications.

Ideally, you have experience:

  • Working with MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Redis
  • Maintaining infrastructure with Docker, Kubernetes, and Google Cloud
  • Setting up and maintaining application and infrastructure monitoring
  • Managing database performance

Additionally, since we're 100% remote, we:

  • Highly value strong written communicators
  • Require at least a few hours of overlap from 8-12 AM EST (2-6 PM CET)

Unique to Us

Every organization is a bit different, here are some unique things about us:

  • We believe the traditional hiring process is broken, so we do things a bit differently. We first bring people on a part-time or full-time contractor so that we can get to know each other. If both sides enjoy working with each other, we make you an official offer.
  • We have little to no meetings, we focus on written async communication instead
  • The tenure of a DevOps Engineer at FetLife is 2-3x longer than average
  • You will work on high-impact projects that will make a difference in many people's lives
  • You can always ask questions to your team when you get stuck, but we do appreciate people who are self-sufficient
  • Get to learn a lot because we are a small team and everyone gets to work on different parts of the system. Nobody specializes.
  • We value focused productive work over long hours. We don't want people to burn out. We want people to work at a consistent pace they can maintain year after year

About Us

FetLife is the largest kinky social network on this side of the milky way. We:

  • Have over 10 million members and growing
  • Grew 100% by word-of-mouth
  • Serve over 1.5 billion requests a day

    • 2 weeks during Christmas*
    • 4 day work weeks during the summer months (July & August)*
  • 1 retreat a year (ex. the last one's were in Miami, Vancouver, Tennessee & Montreal)
