About us

Gravitational, an early stage systems & cloud startup in San Francisco is looking for ambitious and talented people. We are well-funded by fantastic Silicon Valley investors. We are experienced team: previously we built Mailgun which was acquired Rackspace. We have created Vulcand and we have great connections in the cloud industry.

We are hackers. We love Linux and low level systems programming. And we love helping open source communities and other engineers to get things done.

We are also husbands, mothers and we have hobbies. Our past experiences building companies taught us about the importance of life and work balance. It matters even more when you are building a huge and lasting company, like Gravitational.

If this resonates, we want to talk to you.

About you

You understand how computers work and what role an operating system plays. You know why Linux kernel is written in C and not any other language. You have a favorite file system and you know what a syscall is and you are comfortable exploring /proc and /sys. You like using Go every day, not afraid of Makefiles and you enjoy when thousands of servers bend to your will.

You should also be comfortable joining an early stage company. We are aggressive with equity and very open about our finances: you’re joining a founding team and we expect you to enjoy the ride.

If you are this kind of person, here is the menu of what you can be doing with us:

   - Hack on technologies like systemd and libcontainer
   - Design and build new open source products you can be proud of
   - Talk to customers and convert complex requirements into simple and elegant solutions
   - Doing daily code reviews
Location

We would prefer everyone to be in San Francisco and we can relocate you. We will consider remote option for experienced candidates with a history of getting things done.
