Role

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our team to create high quality products with great UX in record time. A strong candidate will have:

Specific familiarity in one or more systems languages like Rust, C/C++, GO, and/or Swift.
General familiarity with databases, database internals, distributed systems, data pipelines/warehouses.
Comfort working in a fast-paced and low process environment.
A minimum of 5 years of professional experience in software development, with an emphasis on backend technologies.

Our Tech Stack

Talented engineers can pick up new languages and frameworks quickly. Here’s what our tech stack looks like today, but if you come with a better way of doing things we’re flexible and committed to building the best tools for our customers no matter what!

We use Rust throughout the backend, giving us extremely fast performance with strong security guarantees.
Our frontend is written using Svelte and TypeScript.
Our query system leverages highly burstable compute provided by serverless components like Amazon Lambdas.
We use S3 to store logs at scale and MySQL to store metadata.
Our log ingestion pipeline runs in Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)
We use infrastructure-as-code tools like Pulumi to manage our deployments and cloud infrastructure.

Compensation for the role includes generous equity and cash mix. We offer Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k, Commuter Benefits, and Unlimited PTO. We are constantly reevaluating and adjusting what we can offer our team as we grow and mature as a company.

We're hybrid and remote-friendly, with most of the team gathering weekly in our San Francisco office (Tuesdays typically) and quarterly gatherings for remote team members. We value in-person collaboration for the relationships, creativity, and momentum it creates.

If you’re interested in joining Scanner, please send us your LinkedIn, Resume, and/or Github at careers@scanner.dev.

Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
