We have received enough applicants for this position, and are no longer accepting new applications. Best of luck!
Come join our growing team and work the full stack, from hardware to containers.
Help us build out our private, on-prem cloud. Do you love modern container tooling but long for the days where costs mattered and hardware was appreciated? If so, come join us in building out the next iteration on our scalable, redundant infrastructure powering our website and mobile apps.
Our website and mobile apps are backed by a rack of machines colocated in a datacenter in Portland, Oregon. We are looking for someone who lives within 2 hours of Portland to both maintain our machines as well as deploy container based workloads on top of them.
This position has excellent work/life balance, a calm, sustainable on-call rotation, and a balanced work load that allows someone who enjoys learning a breadth of topics to do their best work. The team currently consists of 1.25 people - one full time engineer, and a part time lead (one of our founders, who historically has managed all infrastructure). You will report directly to the CTO, and have an opportunity for high impact decision making. This is not a datacenter job! The amount of time spent in an actual datacenter is low, historically less than two weeks a year total. The job is mostly SRE work, with the occasional DevOps tasks sprinkled in. All systems are redundant, so failures are generally low stress, managable events, and almost always are handled remotely. To drive this point home, the person responsible for our equipment in Portland has lived 3.5 hours away for the last three years.
The Company
Ride with GPS is on a mission to create great cycling experiences and help people go on better rides, more often.
Our website is used to plan bike routes and events, manage bike clubs, analyze ride data, and publish great rides. Our companion app is a bike computer, route navigator, and ride recorder. Within the cycling world, we serve weekend riders, clubs, event organizers, tour operators, and racers.
The business has been customer-funded since we started in 2007.
The Team
We are cyclists. We are explorers. We are artists. We are writers. We are parents. We are friends. We are a group of people with diverse interests who lead healthy, balanced lives and are all very passionate about what we do. By joining Ride with GPS, you will become a part of a team that helps millions of people have a great time on their bikes.
We offer a competitive salary as well as health, dental and vision insurance, and a 401k with a 10% match. We strongly believe in testing our own software, and as a result are more than happy to help defray some of the costs of cycling, including offering a one-time new bicycle stipend as well as an annual bike supply budget.
Ride with GPS is a remote first workplace with team members all across North America. We have a small office in Portland, OR that staff is welcome to use as desired.
