This is a remote position available anywhere in the world! Linkedin makes us show a country, but we hire the best people wherever they are. Our core mission at Railway is to make software engineers higher leverage.

We believe that people should be given powerful tools so that they can spend less time setting up to do, and more time doing.

At Railway, we believe that making tooling more accessible for build and deployment is one of the greatest possible productivity unlocks of our generation. We also believe that the major roadblock between us and our goal is strong interfacing paradigms.

If you’re looking to build an operating system for builders, we’d love to talk with you! Curious?

• Build features end-to-end, from the UI in our dashboard to orchestrating workflows that interact with our microservices using Temporal.
• Craft intuitive interfaces that allow our users to interface with powerful computing paradigms, with help from our design team.
• Build TypeScript + GraphQL APIs with strong guarantees around modeling data, allowing both internal and external users to build against.
• Write Engineering About you
  • An ability to autonomously lead, design, and implement great product experiences, from front to back.
  • A strong understanding of frontend architecture to build interactivity-rich systems for fetching, mutating, and rendering data effectively.
  • Experience managing complex asynchronous backend jobs for something like a build/deploy pipeline.
  • A desire to be a part of the entire project development process. From research gathering and planning, to implementation and monitoring.
  • Great written and verbal communication skills for expressing ideas, designs, and potential solutions in mostly-asynchronous manner.

  We value and love to work with diverse persons from all backgrounds Things to know For better or worse, we’re a startup; our team dynamics are different from companies of different sizes and stages.

  • We’re distributed ALL across the globe, and that’s only going to be more and more distributed. As a result, stuff is ALWAYS happening.
  • We do NOT expect you to work all the time, but you’ll have to be diligent about your boundaries because the end of your day may overlap with the start of someone else’s.
  • We’re a small team, with high ownership, who are not only passionate about what we do, but seek to be exceptional as well. At the time of writing we’re 21, serving hundreds of thousands of users. There’s a lot of stuff going on, and a lot of ambiguity.
  • We want you to own it. We believe that ownership is a key to growth, and part of that growth is not only being able to make the choices, but owning the success, or failure, that comes with those choices.
