Knack's goal is to democratize data and make it easy for for anyone to unlock the power of their data with apps, workflows, and integrations.

We're hiring a DevOps engineer to help us build and manage a container-based infrastructure for deploying thousands of database-driven applications.

You'll be diving deep into Kubernetes, AWS, Ubuntu, Node.js and Salt. Other tech we use: MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, Ceph, Fission, Sensu and Graylog.

We've been 100% remote for over 4 years. You'll be joining a fun, open team that is just as focused on enjoying the journey as the destination.

Here's some cool stuff about Knack:

* Remote - We're a 100% remote company that has been 100% remote from the beginning and spends a lot of time thinking about how a small 100% remote team can build a world class product.

* Impact - If impact is your thing (it's ours!) Knack impacts a lot of people, including countless non-profits, educational institutes, and small businesses.

* Team - We're a small team that really enjoys getting to work together and it shows. It's all about enjoying the ride, taking ownership, pushing each other to excel at our craft, and doing work that makes a difference.

* Company - We're 100% bootstrapped, so we know how to build a product customers will pay for. We believe in growth without compromise, not growth at all costs.

What's passive about it? ;)

If we can spark a connection with a potential fit we're fine turning off everyone else.

Knack | Software Engineer | Remote | REMOTE https://knack.com

Hmm, let's see, how can we scare off the typical HN reader. We're bootstrapped, so we have zero interest in Silicon Valley. We're a 100% remote company, but we have overlap time and synchronous communication, because those things matter. Our only investors are our customers, so everything revolves around them, not you. And we're not looking to sell or be acquired, because, shocker, we actually love what we're doing and who we're doing it with and want to keep doing it forever.

On the off chance there's a kindred spirit here, find out more at https://knack.com/work-at-knack
