With our mission-critical infrastructure and fully managed offerings, DigitalOcean enables startups and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to rapidly deploy and scale modern applications. As a remote-first organization, our employees, like our customers, are based around the world.

We want people who are passionate about helping developers build, deploy, and bring their ideas to life.

DigitalOcean’s product engineering organization enables customers to easily build highly-scalable creative applications and services on our cloud platform.  We serve a passionate developer community that has grown to love our intuitive simple design, easily configurable infrastructure, and intuitive tutorials, helping craft and run their software in the cloud.

On the Droplet Team you’ll be creating and supporting all the software that bridges the gap between the front-end UI and API and all the rest of the DigitalOcean infrastructure. If it involves a Droplet, you’ll be working with it.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing and building highly-efficient scalable services that manage DigitalOcean Droplets (our customers’ own Virtual Private Servers)
  • Designing and building internal tooling to support the myriad other teams within DigitalOcean that build their products atop Droplets
  • Debugging and troubleshooting complex production issues across datacenters in real time and enhancing our playbooks and automation to mitigate and prevent their recurrence.
  • Participating in team efforts to improve visibility on all aspects of performance metrics.
  • Using technologies and tools such as Linux, Go, gRPC, Docker, Prometheus, MySQL, and more.

What We’ll Expect From You:

  • Minimum 5 years experience programming in Go.
  • Minimum 7 years of software engineering experience.
  • Experience working with complex, distributed systems.
  • Experience working within a microservice architecture, with knowledge of both asynchronous, event-driven processing, and synchronous gRPC/HTTP-based requests.
  • Experience developing high-availability, highly-scalable APIs that have been used by thousands of users or more.
  • A passion for shipping well-engineered and well-tested code.
  • Strong analytical, communications, and organizational skills.
  • Experience in agile software development methodologies.
  • Highly desirable skills/experience include:
    • CI/CD experience with a focus on quality and developer velocity

Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean:

  • We are proud to work here. You’ll be a part of a cutting-edge technology company with an upward trajectory, who are proud to simplify cloud computing so builders can spend more time creating software that changes the world. As a member of the team, you will be a Shark who thinks big, bold, and scrappy, like an owner with a bias for action and a powerful sense of responsibility for customers, products, employees, and decisions. 
  • We prioritize career development. At DO, you’ll do the best work of your career. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that will always challenge you to think big. Our organizational development team will provide you with resources to ensure you keep growing. We provide employees with reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education. All employees have access to LinkedIn Learning's 10,000+ courses to support their continued growth and development.
  • We care about your well-being. Regardless of your location, we will provide you with a competitive array of benefits to support your overall well-being, from one-time work from home stipend to wellness allowance to flexible time off policy, to name a few. While the philosophy around our benefits is the same worldwide, specific benefits may vary based on local regulations and preferences.
  • We reward our employees. The salary range for this position is between $170,000 - $190,000 based on market data, relevant years of experience, and skills. You may qualify for a bonus in addition to base salary; bonus amounts are determined based on company and individual performance. We also provide equity compensation to eligible employees, including equity grants upon hire and the option to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Program.
