JOB OVERVIEW:
Rewst is seeking talented experienced engineers to join our teams in building cutting-edge infrastructure that powers workflow automation for thousands of IT professionals and MSPs worldwide. As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work on complex technical problems, build new capabilities, and improve existing systems across our platform, including distributed services, messaging infrastructure, and multi-region deployments. Our teams are constantly pushing the boundaries of scalability and reliability, and we're looking for passionate individuals who can help us advance the way businesses automate their operations at scale. If you're interested in joining a world-class team of engineers building infrastructure that has significant impact on how IT teams work, we encourage you to apply.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Code with Purpose: Implement, test, and ship clean, efficient, and scalable code across the full stack — from React/TypeScript front-ends through to Go and Python back-end services — acting as a primary resource for maintaining and enhancing critical systems
- Lead Design Reviews: Participate in and lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders to evaluate and decide among available technologies; manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables with your technical expertise
- Technical Problem-Solver: Architect efficient, scalable distributed systems; triage and debug production issues by analyzing their sources and impact across services, infrastructure, and operations — and drive them to resolution
- Translate AI into Product: Lead the technical execution of transitioning experimental, bleeding-edge AI prototypes into scalable, secure internal products; bridge the gap between AI capabilities and practical daily engineering workflows
- Set Technical Direction: Drive consensus on approach within your squad, document architectural decisions, and provide technical guidance and mentorship to peers — including helping onboard new team members
- Collaborative Coder: Actively participate in code reviews, offering actionable feedback on style, accuracy, testability, and efficiency; contribute to sprint ceremonies and keep the team aligned on delivery
- DevOps Mindset: Design and build solutions that incorporate monitoring, observability, and feedback loops; support CI/CD pipelines, write post-mortems with clear root cause analyses, and embed security into design and implementation
- SRE Function: Engage in the full lifecycle of services — from inception and design through deployment, operation, and refinement. Support services before they go live through system design consulting, capacity planning, and launch reviews. Once live, measure and monitor availability, latency, and overall system health. Scale systems sustainably through automation, and evolve them by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity. Participate in on-call rotations, practice sustainable incident response, and write blameless postmortems that lead to real systemic improvement
- Champion AI Tooling: Actively use and advocate for LLM-assisted workflows across the engineering team; stay ahead of emerging AI developer tools and share insights to uplift team productivity
- Proactive Contributor: Contribute to existing documentation and educational content; identify opportunities to improve software development, delivery, and operational processes — and actively help drive those improvements
- Establish Ownership: Build deep, expert end-to-end understanding of one or more platform are
