Plausible Analytics | Site Reliability Engineer | Full-time | Remote (global) | €60-100k Hi HN! I'm the technical founder of Plausible Analytics [1], I've been the only full-time developer on the project since the beta in 2018. We are growing steadily and need to start upgrading our infrastructure to keep up with the demand. We're looking for help with: - Deploying and running our production workloads - Creating and testing our disaster recovery protocols. From single node failures all the way to whole datacenter failover scenarios - Defining our monitoring, alerting and incident response practices - Enabling horizontal scale-out of our application services and database systems - Automating operational tasks - etc It's the most fun project I've ever worked on and I'm not just saying that because I started it. Our product is open source, we have great customers with household names and it feels great to be doing something about the abysmal state of online privacy. We have many self-hosters and get a lot of love and good vibes from the community. The company is fully bootstrapped and independent from any investors. This means we can grow at a sustainable pace without having to satisfy external growth targets and timelines. We can take time to get things right and ship stuff that we're really proud of. We are currently just 3 people which means there's little bureaucracy and politics like in larger companies. Things go smooth, you won't be sitting in meetings all day. It's a pure engineering role with ample time and space to actually focus on doing good work. There are pros and cons to how we work but we really enjoy working in a small remote team with tons of autonomy. This is how we plan to keep it.
