Senior Full-Stack Engineer - Product

This is a remote position available anywhere in the world! Linkedin makes us show a country, but we hire the best people wherever they are.

Our core mission at Railway is to make software engineers higher leverage. We believe that people should be given powerful tools so that they can spend less time setting up to do, and more time doing.

At Railway, we believe that making tooling more accessible for build and deployment is one of the greatest possible productivity unlocks of our generation. We also believe that the major roadblock between us and our goal is strong interfacing paradigms.

If you’re looking to build an operating system for builders, we’d love to talk with you!

About the role

For this role, you will:

• Build features end-to-end, from the UI in our dashboard to orchestrating workflows that interact with our microservices using Temporal.

• Craft intuitive interfaces that allow our users to interface with powerful computing paradigms, with help from our design team.

• Build TypeScript + GraphQL APIs with strong guarantees around modeling data, allowing both internal and external users to build against.

• Write Engineering Requirement Documents to take something from idea, to defined tasks, to implementation, to monitoring it’s success.

• Experience with, or at least the desire to learn Rust to contribute to our open-source repositories (CLI, Nixpacks, etc).

Some projects full-stack engineers have worked on in the past

• Rebuild logging infrastructure to support 1B logs/day, from configuring ClickHouse to developing a brand new observability UI

• Build Git for infrastructure and re-thinking how a project evolves over time

• Build a tool for building user code into a deployable image using Nix packages. (github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks)

• Create interfaces to visualize project infrastructure on a 2D canvas

• Add support for migrating deployments with a volume from one region to another using Temporal

• Create a marketplace for users to share re-usable pieces of infrastructure

This is a high impact, high agency role with direct effect on company culture, trajectory, and outcome.

About you

• An ability to autonomously lead, design, and implement great product experiences, from front to back.

• A strong understanding of frontend architecture to build interactivity-rich systems for fetching, mutating, and rendering data effectively

• Experience managing complex asynchronous backend jobs for something like a build/deploy pipeline.

• A desire to be a part of the entire project development process. From research gathering and planning, to implementation and monitoring

• Great written and verbal communication skills for expressing ideas, designs, and potential solutions in mostly-asynchronous manner

We value and love to work with diverse persons from all backgrounds
