One interesting job a day.
I created this sub-publication to share roles that might be interesting to my coaching and workshop clients. Mostly one job a day, mostly remote, mostly hiring for other roles as well, and always interesting.
Excerpt:
DNSimple is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead our Platform Team. As a key member of our engineering leadership, you will play a critical role in fostering a high-performing engineering culture, supporting the professional growth of team members, and ensuring the successful delivery of projects. The role is fully remote.
About the role
As the Platform Team's Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring the team's delivery across all areas of responsibility with the goal of providing reliable systems to our customers and engineering team members.
Together with the team, you will build and sustain an environment where your team members can be their best selves. You will apply your technical knowledge and experience to enrich your team's capabilities. With a team of five engineers, the job's focus is on building a cohesive and performant team.
Developing a technical roadmap with the CTO and team is an integral part of increasing application stability while ensuring uninterrupted service to our customers. Working with legacy systems is part of the daily work, as several systems have been under active development for years.
As an engineering leader, you will be a point of contact for your team and across the company. You will participate in product, customer support, and marketing conversations. Clear communication and open collaboration are vital parts of the role.
About the Platform Team
The Platform Team is responsible for the core infrastructure that powers DNSimple's suite of domain management and DNS services. The team operates on two fundamental pillars: maintaining our global DNS infrastructure and enabling other engineering teams to build and deploy products efficiently.
Our infrastructure is built on a technology stack combining Go, Ruby, and Erlang. At the heart of our DNS service is a sophisticated, multi-region anycast network that includes points of presence across America, Europe, and Asia.
A cornerstone of our infrastructure is our open-source, self-developed Erlang-based name server (), which implements state-of-the-art DNS functionality following RFC specifications. The team maintains a comprehensive observability platform to ensure optimal performance and reliability across our entire infrastructure.
Beyond infrastructure management, the Platform Team plays a crucial role in empowering all DNSimple engineers with the tools and systems they need to develop, test, and deploy changes confidently across our infrastructure.
This dual focus on infrastructure reliability and developer enablement ensures that DNSimple can continue to deliver high-quality services to our customers while maintaining rapid product development capabilities.
