About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Build at scale: Design, build, and maintain highly available systems that orchestrate software deployment across hundreds of production environments
  • Shape the foundation: Work directly with the founding team to define Ryvn’s technical direction and architecture
  • Solve and streamline: Identify inefficiencies and design elegant solutions — with the autonomy to ship fast and keep our technology ahead of the curve
  • Own complex systems: Debug performance issues across distributed systems, from backend services to production infrastructure
  • Balance tradeoffs: Navigate engineering decisions thoughtfully — balancing short-term velocity with long-term scalability and impact

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of software development experience, ideally including time at a small, high-growth company
  • Full-stack fluency: Comfortable working across web frameworks, APIs, and databases in multiple programming languages
  • Strong technical judgment: Able to make pragmatic, well-reasoned tradeoffs to drive projects forward
  • Ownership mindset: You take initiative, see problems through, and care deeply about the systems you build

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Experience deploying and scaling Kubernetes, Helm, and Docker
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tooling, especially GitHub Actions
  • Experience building with Go, TypeScript, and React
  • Comfort working with Postgres and S3
  • Experience using Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, or Mimir for observability
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation

Life at Ryvn

  • Fully in-person team in NYC
  • Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Unlimited PTO and sick leave
  • Annual professional development stipend
  • Company-paid lunch, dinner, and coffee
  • Annual retreats and team offsites
