About Devzero

We are developers working on the tool we wish we had. We love writing new code but found ourselves spending time on non-productive tasks such as debugging code that worked locally, “fighting” docker images, updating packages again and again and..well you get it. We built internal tools to solve those challenges and now we want to make it available for every developer out there.

Devzero is a fast growing startup backed by tier-1 investors.

About The Role

As an Engineer at DevZero, you will integrate advanced cloud functionality into the platform and help bring production-grade operational efficiency to developers everywhere. You will work closely with the founders and other engineers, bridging the gap between cloud infrastructure and application development.

Engineering at DevZero primarily consists of cloud infrastructure tools like Pulumi, Kubernetes, and the various Cloud APIs. Most of our backend is written in Go, while there’s some Rust, Python, Bash, etc. The front-end runs on Next.js, and the workloads are deployed on Kubernetes. Note that this is not an SRE or DevOps, or Platform Engineering role! You will write code, not configuration, automating these tools to bring the best of their functionality to teams everywhere.

What We’re Looking For

We're looking for candidates with high integrity, low ego, and an insatiable curiosity and drive to learn. We use reasoned discussion and constant feedback to improve as individuals and as a team. We cultivate mutual trust and respect, empowering us to debate ideas effectively and create the best outcomes for our customers and team. We want teammates that we’ll be proud to be working with.
