About Salad

There are 400 million high-end gaming computers that sit idle ~22 hours every day, and we should be doing more with these! Salad is on a mission to turn idle computing time into serious value for their owners! When you’re not using your machine, Salad automatically turns your idle computing power into profit. We’ve built the platform that allows gamers to rent out their computers with the click of a button. Salad takes this computing power and turns it into profit by supporting public blockchain networks. Beyond supporting public blockchain networks, Salad can apply this distributed infrastructure to support really exciting applications – Salad’s long term recipe!

The Opportunity

Salad is at a key inflection point: we’ve successfully built a seed-stage product to connect gamers, their idle computers, and the ever growing demand for computer power. Now, we’re ready to put fuel on the fire and scale Salad into the next big thing in computing. Our users trust Salad to turn their idle computers into rewards with the click of a button. Building and maintaining trust is core to everything we do. We reward our users with gift cards, subscriptions, games, and more. Today these idle computers support public blockchain networks, but we’re quickly building a distributed infrastructure with our sights set on exascale computing.

We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to help us build this future of computing. Reporting directly to the Director of Engineering, this role will have the opportunity to influence the design of key components and drive the implementation of major features.

We support some flexibility with work schedules, but we also work together as a tight-knit team. Collaboration and meetings necessitate a time zone from UTC-05:00 (Eastern Time Zone) and UTC-09:00 (Alaska Time Zone).

The Role

As an engineer on our cross-functional team, you’ll work collaboratively with product managers, designers, fellow engineers, and support technicians to optimize our operational efficiency and proactively improve our systems. Your efforts will be focused on applying DevOps, SRE, CI, and CD principles and practices.

The Tech Stack

Salad successfully shipped a MVP in less than 3 months using serverless infrastructure. As we grew, we began to hit the scaling and throughput limits of these services. We spent the last year building a rock solid, hyper-scalable application infrastructure built-in on a unique virtual actor pattern all the while delivering the most requested new features.

Our open-source desktop and web-based applications are built in TypeScript on Electron, React and Node.js. Our APIs and services are built in C# powered by ASP.NET Core and Microsoft Orleans, a framework for robust, scalable, distributed applications.

We leverage AWS, Azure, Elastic Cloud, and Cloudflare to deliver high-quality experiences to users all around the world. We also love to automate all the things, managing our system with tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.

The Skill Set

5+ years of experience with a mixture in software development and managing cloud-native applications at scale on Azure or AWS.

Proficient with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.

Proficient with Python, PowerShell, and shell scripting.

Proficient with C# and ASP.NET Core.

Excellent technical and communication skills.

Work independently to follow through on assignments with minimal direction and take action when answers to a problem are not readily apparent in equivocal situations.
