We’re looking for a new member of the infrastructure team at ReadMe! If you get excited by building reliable, resilient software that scales to serve millions of users, you’ll be a perfect fit.
We're a small team of humans (and one owl) working together to do big things, and we’re growing fast! That’s where you come in. Since we’re a startup, you’ll make a big impact on ReadMe both in the daily responsibilities of your role and beyond.
🦉 What we do
ReadMe helps companies build beautiful, personalized, and interactive developer hubs. If you’ve ever visited the developer docs for Airbnb, Notion, or Anthropic, you’ve used ReadMe! We love what we do because it’s so much more than just docs. We’re providing tools for teams to create and manage beautiful documentation with ease.
You can read more about what it’s like to work at ReadMe on our careers page, or our Key Values page. We've written on our blog in the past about how we interview, and feel free to browse our other blog posts as well if it strikes your fancy!
✅ What you’ll do here
Design and build infrastructure and tooling to make sure ReadMe’s data storage is fast, reliable, and secure.
Expand the tooling for our observability platform tooling to ensure that developers can make good use of logging, metrics, and alerts.

Come up with ideas around what ReadMe’s infrastructure should look like, and communicate them to your coworkers.

💙 You'll love this job if you are...
A programmer with professional experience developing server-side software with Node.js or a similar language.
Comfortable designing production infrastructure and implementing your ideas, leveraging technologies from service providers like AWS and Cloudflare. (It would be a bonus if you’ve got experience using a tool like Terraform to build infrastructure as code, although it’s not necessary.)
