Job Description:

About LogRocket: Founded in 2016, LogRocket's goal is to make every experience on the web as perfect as possible. We're solving a huge challenge for product managers and developers - understanding the user experience. LogRocket is the first system that gives these teams complete visibility into their customer's experience using their web apps - through pixel-perfect replays of user sessions and clear insight into logs, errors, and network activity. We've already attracted an elite roster of over 2,800 customers including ClassPass, Capital One, Cisco, and Rippling, just to name a few. Our focus is on building software with care and craftsmanship and our engineering blog posts offer a taste of that. Backed by top investors such as Matrix Partners, Battery Ventures, and Delta-V Capital, we've raised $55M in funding and we're eager to bring talented people onboard to support our growth. We're on a mission to improve society's experience with software and that's where you come in.

Build a system that automatically recommends integrations for customers based on their toolset

Requirements:

7+ years of experience in a full stack or backend development role, preferably with a SaaS company
Experience with state of the art cloud technologies, including architectural principles, specific tools of the trade, and their strengths and weaknesses
Hands-on experience building and redesigning highly available distributed systems
Familiarity with modern Javascript-based applications and frameworks
Experience in development environments with demanding scalability or availability requirements
A strong collaborator who is transparent about progress on tasks, seeks feedback early and often, works effectively with the team to deliver on engineering estimates
