Porter

Porter is the cloud platform for modern tech companies. We provide the power of the cloud without the complexity and cost, allowing the next generation of builders to run anything, anywhere. Traditional engineering orgs have to allocate a lot of time and money to managing AWS, Azure, and GCP, and quickly become locked in. We enable top engineering teams to instantly create production-grade infrastructure on any cloud provider, deploy their application code, and easily monitor and manage it, unlocking them to focus on what they do best – building a great product. We are a company that cares about building something beautiful. We are not afraid of tackling the hardest problems. We are looking for people who want to do the best work of their lives while building the future of tech. The Role: We're looking for a full stack engineer who is fluent in React/Typescript but comfortable working across the entire stack. This includes building on top of our Go backend as well as working directly with the Kubernetes and Helm APIs. Since Porter is a PaaS that abstracts the complexity of Kubernetes, deeply considered design/architectural decisions are the lifeblood of our platform. The best implementation is not always the most obvious one, so an appetite for rigorously evaluating the tradeoffs of different options is essential. You will be expected to push critical code on a daily basis while also working on larger features that constantly expand the capabilities of the platform. You will: Build and maintain new features on the Porter dashboard Develop our Go API to accommodate additional k8s/Helm behaviors Create applets and add-ons for popular technologies like MySQL, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc. Improve the UI and organization of the dashboard (strong UI/UX background is a nice to have) Raise the standard for code quality and our engineering culture Who we're looking for: We value rate of learning above all else. Full stack experience and fluency with React/TypeScript is expected, but less familiarity with Go/Kubernetes is fine if you're a voracious and self-directed learner. Infrastructure management isn't rocket science, but it does involve thinking and working across multiple levels of abstraction at once. If the idea of wrangling that complexity is exciting and not daunting to you, we'd love to talk. As is the case with most early-stage startups, you should be comfortable with regularly shifting priorities and iterating at a very high (daily) velocity. Some of the technical challenges we face: Abstracting Kubernetes - any PaaS spans a variety of use cases, so building a consistent and useful layer of abstraction requires constant awareness of the needs of many user profiles. Cloud Agnosticism - one of Porter's main benefits is that you get the same interface for managing services regardless of where you host. Our job is to reduce multi-cloud infrastructure complexity to a unified interface. Many Integrations - our philosophy is to never reinvent the wheel, so we leverage tools like GitHub Actions, existing container registries, and the APIs of various cloud providers. An issue with any one of these integrations interrupts functionality, so properly handling interactions with numerous services is crucial. Sample projects you might work on: Build a dashboard that gives an infra-level overview of machines being managed by Porter and their current resource utilization Implement live email/Slack alerts for successful or failed deployments Develop a deployment pipeline builder that lets users seamlessly promote services across multiple clusters and environments (ex: dev -> staging -> prod) Create one-click deployable applets for popular technologies (e.g. RabbitMQ, Kafka, Cassandra, etc.) Tech stack: Web: React (styled-components), TypeScript Backend: Go, Kubernetes + Helm APIs, Postgres, Redis Infrastructure: AWS, GCP What we offer Top-of-market compensation that grows with the company Medical, vision, dental insurance 401k 6 wee

The Role: We're looking for a product engineer with strong design chops who is fluent in React/Typescript and CSS. Simply put, we want someone who will take Porter's usability and UX/visual polish to the next level. You will be involved in all feature discussions and will shape the trajectory of our product. You will: Improve the UI/UX and organization of the dashboard Implement a design system and define the visual language of our platform Raise the standard for code quality and our engineering culture Who we're looking for: We value rate of learning above all else. That said, complete fluency in React/Typescript and CSS is expected. If you can balance being collaborative while still taking pride in your work, we'd love to talk. As is the case with most early-stage startups, you should be comfortable with regularly shifting priorities and iterating at a very rapid (daily) velocity. You should be comfortable wearing multiple hats and might sometimes be expected to act in a PM-like capacity to execute your product vision for Porter.

The Role: We're looking for a pixel-perfectionist frontend engineer. Ideally, we want someone with both programming and design chops who can own the frontend and take our product to the next level as we scale. We're building a PaaS that runs in a user's own cloud (basically Heroku on k8s) and we've converted some of Heroku's largest enterprise users as well as a large base of high-growth startups despite starting just a little over a year ago. Now that we're hitting our stride, we're focused on capturing as much mindshare as possible, so we need someone who can take the polish and devX of our PaaS to the next level. This role would involve maximum ownership. Our entire engineering team is currently full-stack (leaning backend) or on infra side. I (Justin) do most of the day-to-day FE/UX work as a founder, so we want someone with more experience who can do it worlds better. You will: Obsess over delivering the best possible user flow for teams on Porter Elevate the design language of our platform Incrementally refactor the frontend without hampering the team's velocity Raise the standard for code quality and our engineering culture Some of the technical challenges we face: Rock solid UI/UX for onboarding - our platform automatically provisions resources to the user's cloud account and needs to robustly handle a variety of permissions and infra-related errors. Abstracting CI and Kubernetes - any PaaS spans a variety of use cases, so building a consistent and useful layer of abstraction requires constant awareness of the needs of many user profiles. Auto-Generated Frontend - each of our app/add-on templates uses a form.yaml file that programmatically generates a settings UI on the dashboard using a library of our own input primitives. Expanding and testing the functionality of these templates is non-trivial.

The Role: We are looking for a backend engineer who is a Go expert. Additional familiarity with the Kubernetes and Helm APIs is certainly preferred but not required. You will be expected to push critical code on a daily basis, help to architect our backend, and also work on larger features that constantly expand the capabilities of the platform. You will: Extend our API written in Go using native Kubernetes, Helm, and Docker client packages to be more reliable and scalable Improve the developer experience on Porter by adding capabilities to our cobra and viper-based CLI Work on auxiliary services, such as our cluster and infrastructure provisioner, written 100% in Go Implement a custom k8s controller Raise the bar for code quality and our engineering culture Who we're looking for: For this role, we are not looking for a generalist. We want someone who can immediately bring their existing experience to the table - elevating the standard for code quality without sacrificing rapid iteration and flexibility. As is the case with most early-stage startups, you should be comfortable with regularly shifting priorities. Tech stack: Backend: Go, Kubernetes + Helm APIs Web: React, TypeScript Infrastructure: AWS, GCP Our team is currently based in NYC, but we are open to remote hiring for those who can guarantee overlap with our core working hours (Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm ET). If you're in New York City, we're happy to discuss specific working arrangements. Interested? Email your resume to jobs at getporter.dev and let us know why you would be a great fit for this role.
