Systems Engineers at Substack are responsible for building the
foundational infrastructure, tooling, and systems that enable product
engineering and feature development. We architect systems to support
Substack's fast-growing product ecosystem at web scale. S&R engineers

infrastructure for Substack.

Substack's compensation package includes a market-competitive salary,
equity for all full-time roles, and exceptional benefits. Our cash
compensation salary range for this role is $170,000 - $230,000. Final
offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate

Responsibilities

  * Build out Substack's platforms to scale with growing traffic and
    a multitude of services to support writer and reader communities.
  * Partner with engineers and other stakeholders to design resilient
    and responsive systems.
  * Contribute to the whole product process in collaboration with
    designers, writers, support staff, and others. From product
    concept and research to implementation and deployment, we expect
    you to own your work and deliver high-quality solutions.
  * We primarily work with Node/Express, Postgres, and Redis, and our
    cloud infrastructure is hosted on AWS. It's helpful if you know
    some of these technologies already, if not, we'll be excited to
    help you learn.

Requirements

  * 5+ years of software engineering experience.
  * Can contribute across the full web stack, with a focus on
    building resilient, scalable backend systems.
  * Independent and autonomous. We're too small to micromanage, and
    expect that every person at the company owns their work and can
    be a leader.
  * Hold yourself and others to a high standard when working on
    production systems.
  * Take pride in building elegant and delightful product
    experiences. Substack works best when it gets out of the way so
    writers can focus on writing and connecting with their readers. 
  * Enjoy collaboration with a diverse group of stakeholders while
    bringing your own unique experience and background to the team.
  * Believe in Substack's mission to build a better business model
    for writing.
