Ahrefs is looking for a backend developer with deep understanding of networks, distributed systems, OS fundamentals and taste for simple and efficient architectural designs. Our backend is mostly implemented in OCaml with some C++.
In this role, be prepared to deal with 25 petabytes of live data, OCaml and Linux on a daily basis.
Basic Requirements:
- Proficiency in OCaml
- Knowledge of C++ is a plus but not essential
The ideal candidate is expected to:
- Independently deal with bugs, schedule tasks and investigate code
- Make well-reasoned technical choices and take responsibility for them
- Understand the whole technology stack at all levels: from network and user-space code to OS internals and hardware
- Handle full development cycle of a single component i.e. formalize task, write code and tests, setup and support production, resolve user requests
- Approach problems with a practical mindset and suppress perfectionism when time is a priority
- Write flexible, maintainable code and adapt to post-launch requirements/tweaks
These requirements stem naturally from our approach to development with fast feedback cycle, highly-focused personal areas of responsibility and strong tendency to vertical component splitting.
If your preference is leaning towards making the web functional and working on user-facing stuff, you may want to consider our ReasonML position instead.
What You Get
We offer:
- Competitive compensation package
- Informal and thriving work atmosphere
- Above-average perks and fringe benefits
- [Office] First-class workplace (hardware, software, etc) in the modern office
- [Remote] Hardware allowance
Ahrefs does not engage with agencies or third party recruitment solutions for the roles we hire for. If at any point we need help, we'll let you know!
Biz kimiz
Biz, daha iyi teknolojinin gerçek dünya sorunlarına daha iyi çözümler getirdiğine kuvvetle inanan küçük bir ekibiz. İşlevsel dillere ve statik yazmaya tapıyoruz, geniş çapta kod oluşturma ve meta-programlama kullanıyoruz, kod netliği ve öngörülebilirliğe değer veriyoruz ve durmaksızın tekrarlayan görevleri otomatikleştirip basmakalıpları ortadan kaldırmaya çalışıyoruz.
DRY tarafından yönlendiriliyoruz ve KISS’i takip ediyoruz. Hayatımızı kolaylaştıracak yeni bir teknoloji varsa onu da deneyeceğiz. Açık kaynak koduna (sürdürülebilir bir sistem oluşturmanın tek geçerli yolu olarak) büyük ölçüde güveniyoruz ve contribute back. We occasionally blog on tech.ahrefs.com.
Our motto is first do it, then do it right, then do it better
