tl;dr

Early-stage venture-backed startup (Techstars Chicago ‘17) looking for an infrastructure engineer to build out our technology architecture and development systems.

About 4Degrees
We’re a fast-moving startup founded by two former venture capitalists, with a vision to empower all professionals by helping them build better relationships. Our goal is to fix the network gap: the inequality of opportunity driven by not having the right connections. To solve this problem, we’re combining the best practices of the world’s top relationship builders with artificial intelligence.

We’re building a mission-driven team that strives to live out our values every day:
1. Customer-centricity
2. Diversity of perspective
3. Authenticity
4. Growth (individual and collective)
5. Impact

We’ve just finished the Techstars Chicago accelerator program and raised a round of venture financing. Now we’re looking to bring on a talented team passionate about making the world more connected.

About the role
We’re looking for an experienced infrastructure engineer to help build out the systems behind 4Degrees. The team will look to this engineer to design, implement, and manage our server architecture, continuous deployment processes, security, and data management. The engineer will have the opportunity to set the vision for the company’s technology systems, architecting and building the solution essentially from scratch. 

Due to the nature of what we’re building, this is a unique role. The infrastructure engineer will build a system with enterprise-grade service levels that can also scale to millions while keeping highly sensitive data secure. This role will require a continuous balance between rapidly prototyping a solution that works today while always working along a long-term sustainable roadmap.

About you
  • Excited about the 4Degrees mission and believes in our core values
  • Motivated by the unique confluence of massive data, enterprise service levels, and consumer-scale traffic
  • Up for the challenge of balancing rapid prototyping with the need for robustness and sustainability
  • Collaborative mindset - recognizing that most great outcomes are accomplished by teams, not individuals
Requirements
  • Experience with Linux server architecture and administration
  • Experience with building a continuous deployment environment
  • Experience with large-scale database architecture and management
  • Experience with load balancing
Nice-to-haves
  • Experience with Azure Cloud
  • Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Puppet, etc.)
  • Experience with PostgreSQL at scale
  • Proficient with Python
We care deeply about diversity of thought, perspective and background.  People of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply!
