       Y Combinator needs another infrastructure software engineer
        
       Y Combinator (the people who run this site) | Infrastructure
       Software Engineer | Bay Area | Full-time  I currently run YC's
       infrastructure and I need some help! Over the last 7 years I've
       been at YC, our software team has grown considerably both in
       engineers and in products. We need to invest more in our
       infrastructure so we can keep shipping our products quickly.  The
       main thing you'll need in this job is curiosity; I work at every
       layer of a very large stack. One day you might dig into AWS apis,
       another it's a 3rd party Ruby gem or our git history. Or maybe you
       get paged that all the SSDs for Hacker News (primary and standby!)
       died on the same day :)
       https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32028511.  The first few
       months will be heavier on infrastructure work but in the future the
       job will hopefully be equal parts developer experience,
       infrastructure work, and product engineering that impacts all of
       our products (think SSO, sending email, security, etc). This isn't
       just an SRE role; we also ship products to users.  The main
       products we support are all Ruby on Rails apps running in AWS
       (mostly in ECS); ideally you've already worked on apps like that.
       You have at least 5 years of experience. Part of that was shipping
       code to customers but you've also got cloud experience (we try to
       mostly use Terraform). You're probably the person people turn to
       when there's a fire to put out.  YC has excellent compensation and
       benefits (see more in the formal job description:
       https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/y-combinator/jobs/0Ewh...).
       The team and the work life balance are great. About half of us are
       former founders and many of us are parents. And if you're curious
       about startups (and possibly starting one someday), this job gives
       you amazing access to interact with YC's programs, partners, and
       founders.  If you're interested, I'd love to chat! I'm
       mark@ycombinator.com.
