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 D and 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 D or C++ is a plus
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!
我们是谁
我们是一个小团队，坚信更好的技术可以为现实世界的问题带来更好的解决方案。我们崇拜函数式语言和静态类型，广泛使用代码生成和元编程，重视代码的清晰度和可预测性，并不断寻求自动化重复任务并消除样板。
我们以DRY为向导，跟随KISS。如果有新技术能让我们的生活更容易，我们会尝试一下。我们严重依赖开源代码(作为构建可维护系统的唯一可行方法)和 contribute back. We occasionally blog on tech.ahrefs.com.
我们的座右铭是先做;然后做对，然后做得更好
