We are a tight-knit group with diverse backgrounds who value our culture. Individually, we strive to be humble, hungry, and people-smart. As a team we put learners first, we share before we are ready, we ask clarifying questions, we highlight what’s working, we have difficult conversations, we get agreements, and we make time for life. These aren’t just slogans we put on the wall…we love and live by our culture.

So, if you are a hungry engineer who is looking to jump on a path of continuous learning, continuous improvement, and a team that values impacting real people in a real way… look no further, you may be a llama and just don’t know it yet.

The candidate in this role will be most successful if they have a desire to grow in our entire stack but specialize immediately in the backend. Specifically, a love for SQL and APIs will take you a long way!

This person will be a vital member of our team and will require full stack versatility. We want to enable those on our team to pursue their passions. We realize that some people love query optimization and API design as much as they love CSS and UI component structures. This team/role will have their hands in a little of everything—from a little UI, all the way to API development. 

Candidates for this senior role will typically have at least 3+ years experience and will be most successful if they have a desire to grow in our entire stack but specialize in both frontend and backend development, but if you've gained equivalent experience in another way, we'd still love to talk.

• Code Reviewer (20-30%):
  • A strong peer review culture is incredibly important to us. Everyone strives to improve every day, and the code review process is vital to this goal.

• Infrastructure Engineering (0-10%)

• Infrastructure engineering is for those who have expertise in the systems we use to build and deliver software, such as development environments, deployment pipelines, and hosting infrastructure.

• Working cross-functionally
• You have experience working closely with back-end engineers, designers, testers, and product managers. People skills, along with a desire to both learn and teach, are essential.

This position may work in the Lessonly office in Indianapolis, IN or remotely from any of the following states: Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Alabama, Texas, Virginia or Washington.

We are a tight-knit group with diverse backgrounds who value our culture. Individually, we strive to be humble, hungry, and people-smart. As a team, we put learners first. We share before we are ready, ask clarifying questions, highlight what's working, have difficult conversations, get agreements, and make time for life. These aren't just slogans we put on the wall.

Lessonly is looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to help build and manage our architecture and automated processes. You will empower our developers and testers to do better work while making our software perform reliably.

We are working to continue scaling ahead of the rapid increase in adoption of the Lessonly platform. We need you to help us in our quest in scaling to meet the needs of our growing customers and our own growing team. We are looking for you to assist in implementing the tools and techniques to make that happen.

We are hiring a software engineer dedicated to analyzing and improving the performance of our software, automating our processes, improving our application security, and working on the application architecture. We need someone who can work in the software and has a penchant for hosting and infrastructure.

Candidates for this role will be most successful if they have a desire to grow in our entire stack but specialize immediately in the back end and infrastructure. Specifically, a love for Ruby on Rails, AWS, and automation will take you a long way!

Roles & Responsibilities

We are flexible in what exact skills we can hire for this role. The bottom line is that we need someone who knows Ruby on Rails and who can help us keep the growing platform running and stable.

• Software Engineer (40-50%)
  • You are not afraid to dive into the application code to implement architectural changes, improve data querying, or implement new patterns. You build tools to help manage our environments and to help other departments manage their clients’ data. You provide valuable feedback in code reviews to help keep our code clean, maintainable, and reliable.
  • We are looking for someone who has the ability not only to help us automate our infrastructure, but to help us ensure the software serves that infrastructure well.

• Desired Abilities

• Experience building web applications in Ruby on Rails.
• Design and build tools to connect data from various environments for analysis and control.
• Implement changes to web software in service of improving performance, security, and reliability.
• Review pull requests by other software engineers, especially in consideration of performance, security, and reliability, keeping in mind that we prefer to critique with empathy.

• Automation Engineer (30-40%)
  
  • You identify manual processes that could be automated and build the tools to automate them. You monitor those processes to ensure they continue to work as intended.
  • You work with other teams to assess their automation needs and help them build the tools they need to do better work.

• Desired Abilities

• Build and maintain tools to automate internal processes relating to deployment and testing.

• Infrastructure Engineer (10-20%)
  
  • You build and manage the AWS-based infrastructure for our various applications and instances of our core service. You keep our software running and continually make that job easier to do as you go by automating as much as possible.
  • We host private instances of our core application for our larger customers. You help make creating and managing those instances seamless and easy for engineers, client experience reps, and the customers themselves.
  • As a part of your commitment to keeping the services running, you are a member of the on-call rotation. In order to keep the on-call rotation from being a burden, you help ensure the software is built to be reliable.

• Desired Abilities

• Experience managing SaaS infrastructure using Kubernetes and Terraform.
• Experience monitoring web environments using Datadog, Grafana, Kibana, or similar tools.
• Ability to quickly assess and remediate infrastructure, database, and software issues affecting live environments.
