Job Description:

Everlaw is looking for a Senior Software Engineer that brings experience in building robust observability tooling, humility in their approach, and interest in expanding their skills in new directions. Tackling litigation with technology is a deep challenge that requires search, databases, data visualization, distributed systems, machine learning, real-time collaboration, nifty user interfaces, and more. We will encourage you to explore our entire system and work with significant autonomy across the stack. We care about finding self-driven engineers that love their craft, write clean software, use the right tools for the job, and avoid dogma. As a result, we’ve been able to build quite a bit of sophisticated technology with a small, talented team. Though our team has grown, we have maintained a culture where you’ll own serious features, write great code, learn a huge amount, and have a lot of fun. There are no sprints and no deadlines (!); code quality and maintainability is paramount.

Job Responsibility:

Build observability strategies to support application and infrastructure metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerts
Develop and maintain infrastructure as code (IAC) using tools such as Terraform and Ansible
Monitor usage trends to identify opportunities to optimize efficiency and performance of our metrics database and logging tools
Improve our on-call and incident management processes by encouraging deeper understanding, communication, and trust
Support developer projects by influencing design and implementation of infrastructure features as well as providing technical guidance
Support compliance efforts by promoting continuous documentation of our processes and involvement in audits
Provide Technical Mentorship to other engineers by both sharing your technical knowledge and becoming an expert in an area of our code base.

Requirements:

BS or MS in Computer Science, or equivalent coursework
At least 3 years of experience building logging, metrics, and tracing infrastructure
Proficiency in coding in a language such as C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Javascript, Go or Rust
Experience with Infrastructure as Code and container solutions to manage cloud environments (ex: Terraform, Ansible, Docker, etc)
At least 1 year of experience leading multi-developer efforts, including planning, technical breakdown, and coordination
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Please note that at this time, Everlaw is not sponsoring U.S. employment visas for this role. Due to federal contract requirements, Everlaw may only hire US citizens for this position.

Nice to have:

Experience building solutions using OpenTelemetry
Experience with container technologies.

What we offer:

Equity program
401(k) retirement plan with company matching
Health, dental, and vision
Flexible Spending Accounts for health and dependent care expenses
Paid parental leave and approximately 10 days (80 hours) per year of sick leave
Seventeen paid vacation days plus 11 federal holidays
Membership to Modern Health to help employees prioritize mental health and wellness
Annual allocation for Learning & Development opportunities and applicable professional membership dues
Company-sponsored life and disability insurance
Work in Uptown Oakland, just steps from the BART line and dozens of restaurants and walking distance to Lake Merritt
Flexible work-from-home days on Tuesdays and Fridays
Monthly home internet reimbursement
Select your preference of hardware (Mac or PC) and customize your desk setup
Enjoy a wide variety of snacks and beverages in the office
Bond over company-wide out-of-the-box events and fun activities with your team
Time off for company-sponsored volunteer events and 4 paid hours per quarter to volunteer at a charitable organization of your choice
Take advantage of learning and career development opportunities.
