Product Engineer

We're building Postproxy, an API platform for social media. We aim to provide the best API for social posting out there.

For this we need an engineer who knows how the things work, understands database internals, understands asynchronous processing and queues and has solid experience proving this.

The stack

• Go + Rails. We use the tools that fit the purpose. If you think some weird combo will bring considerable value so be it.
• You (AI ;)) need to write some browser JS sometimes. Sorry.
• Postgres is our the only and beloved database.
• Docker. We do containers in production but nothing crazy.
• All those small but very important things like error tracking, tracing, etc.
• We DO use AI but we DO NOT vibecode in the main product. You own the code and its performance. But do we vibecode internal tools when it makes sense.

What you'll work on

• Build features end-to-end, from data model to UI and API design.
• Work with high-throughput job queues and media processing: video, images, multi-platform publishing with different format requirements per network.
• Maintain and extend third-party API integrations that have a habit of changing behavior silently. It's not like you watch in the logs non stop looking for abnormalities. It's more like you build tools to detect them and be able to act promptly.
• Contribute to design decisions. Your input lands in real deployments.

Who you are

• First of all, you care about your users. API-first services are not tolerant to even small outages.
• High-load is a concrete toolbox for you: proper indexes, queues, selective denormalization, caching where it's justified and so on.
• You worked on 3rd party integrations with many-many requests before.
• You push back on duplication and "temporary" solutions that end up living forever.
• You explain your decisions because you value code review.

What we offer

• Fully remote, async. We do calls maybe 2 calls per week.
• Small team. Your decisions ship to production and go straight to users.
• A live product with real customers of all sizes and revenue.
• Direct communication. If something is off, we say so.
