At Rootly, we are on a mission to be the go-to way companies respond when things go wrong, helping every organization be more reliable. We do this by building an industry-leading incident management platform that allows companies around the world to consistently and quickly resolve incidents. Customers love Rootly. See why our customers have rated us 5 stars on G2. We conduct monthly financial reviews as a team so everyone has a pulse on the health of the business, and we publish what we are building in our weekly changelog. As a Staff Platform Engineer, you'll set the technical direction for how Rootly's services are built and run, and lead our paved road: the shared standards, primitives, and guardrails that let product teams ship safely without reinventing them. You'll partner with engineering leadership to help define a platform vision centred on two things: reliability our customers can count on at 3 a.m., and a developer experience that lets every engineer here ship fast without fear. Product engineers are your customers, and paved roads, golden paths, and self-service tooling are how you serve them. You'll work across engineering, product, security, quality assurance, and support to make sure the platform keeps pace with where the business is going. Partner with our platform engineering leader to define the platform vision and roadmap, with reliability and developer experience as the two pillars. Mentor senior engineers, write the design docs others learn from, and grow the platform team as it scales. We care about impact, ownership, and technical judgement. Degrees and big-name logos are not required. 8+ years building software in production, with significant time in Platform, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering. A track record of setting technical direction for a platform or infrastructure area and driving impact across multiple teams. Strong command of observability, performance tuning,



and scaling for web services at meaningful scale. Deep knowledge of Rails and Sidekiq internals, or equivalent depth in another large web framework and job system. You solve infrastructure problems with production-grade software, not shell scripts alone. You've built or led an internal developer platform and can point to adoption and outcomes, not just shipped features. You've written an engineering standard and built the tooling that made teams actually follow it. Experience with Ruby and Go. Published a platform vision and sequenced roadmap that engineering leadership has aligned on. Launched service tiers and a service readiness checklist that product teams use before shipping current services. Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Redis, Sidekiq, AWS Lambda, ECS, Kafka, DynamoDB. Frontend: Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform (IaC), Datadog. We're building something category-defining and want teammates who crave ownership, love solving hard problems, and thrive in a high-bar, high-impact setting. Competitive compensation and early equity in a fast-growing, venture-backed company. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. 3 weeks of vacation, plus unlimited sick and mental health days, and a company-wide end-of-year shutdown to recharge. $500 stipend for home office setup. Unlimited token usage and access to AI tools. As we build out the team, we may use AI to support parts of our interview process, like reviewing assessments, but it's a tool that helps our people, not a substitute for their judgement. Accommodations are available on request at any stage of our recruitment process.
