Who we are
Our mission at Nylas is to turn communication into inspiration and insight. We empower over 100,000 developers and over 900 companies all over the world to access, parse, and gain insights from communications data to provide better experiences for their customers and users, all while providing top tier security and compliance. To achieve this vision, we’ve raised over $175M from Tiger Global, 8VC, ScaleUp, Spark Capital, Slack, and more.
We have a huge market (every company that builds software) and a massive opportunity (the world runs on communication and data). By continuing to hire exceptional people from all different backgrounds and perspectives, we have the opportunity to make Nylas one of the biggest, most successful and equitable technology companies in the world.
Why Nylas
Nylas is an advocate for the well-being of our employees. We trust our employees and give them the autonomy to achieve their goals without focusing on when, where, and how they get there. We are a flexibility first workplace, but if Nylanauts want to work from an office, we have access to WeWork spaces across the globe.
We are also strong supporters of internal and cross-team mobility and growth. We want Nylas to be a place where anyone can be supported to grow, learn, and become the best at what they do. We’ve been named a top Startup for career growth and development by Forbes, Great Places to Work, and Comparably!
From our CTO + Co-Founder, Christine Spang:
“We have a number of folks on the team who started as an individual contributor and became staff level or leaders in their area. I personally love seeing people reach their full potential and become successful at Nylas.”

About the role

You'll help build and scale the infrastructure our platform runs on and the tools our developers need to get work done. Our SRE team is responsible for the infrastructure layer of our API platform—the base operating system (including security), CI/CD & deployment tools, monitoring, and observability tools, and our horizontally sharded data storage layer which stores tens of terabytes of data. Right now, our open-source Python sync engine regularly archives terabytes of data across a massive SQL cluster, and our Flask APIs handle tens of millions of requests a day. We aim to scale that several times over in the next year.

At Nylas, “DevOps” is a part of our engineering culture, not a role we’re looking to fill. Our development team shares the pager with operations and makes their own deploys. We’re always looking for ways in which we can have specialists who delight in really knowing different parts of systems but still avoid being siloed away.

We keep our code and infrastructure automation in the same repo, and you’ll be empowered to make application changes necessary for scaling and reliability in collaboration with our development team. Our stack includes Golang, Kubernetes, Python, MySQL, Redis, AWS, Debian GNU/Linux, GCP

Qualifications

  • You have 5 years of production engineering experience
  • You value communication and empathy as much as technical prowess
  • You can navigate a Linux command line
  • You have experience automating systems using any modern configuration management system (Chef, Ansible, Puppet)
  • You have experience deploying and managing services in Kubernetes
  • You have experience running services on a cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • You have experience deploying and managing Logging and Observability platforms such as New Relic, Grafana, Prometheus
  • You have experience running services on a cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • You can write reliable code in at least one programming language (Python, GoLang, JavaScript etc.), though this won’t be a focus of our interview process
  • You’re excited to create a modern, scalable infrastructure and automate away drudgery

Nice to have

  • Experience with monitoring systems, databases, or service orchestration using terraform (but don’t worry, it’s OK to learn this stuff on the job if you don't know it already)
Perks and Benefits:
  • Nylas Alumni Fund: after 3 years employment, Nylas will invest $20k into your seed round if you decide to start your own company
  • Healthcare: 90% premium coverage for medical, dental and vision for you and your family
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO): we take this very seriously as we care about the well-being of our employees
  • Retirement Plan with a company match (super rare for a startup)
  • Education Stipend: Annual education & development benefit
  • Cell Phone: Monthly stipend towards cell phone reimbursement
  • Fully Paid Parental Leave: 12 weeks parental leave (maternity & paternity)
Not sure if this is you?
We want a diverse, global team, with a broad range of experience and perspectives. If this job sounds great, but you’re not sure if you qualify, apply anyway! We carefully consider every application and will either move forward with your application, find another team that might be better suited to your skills, keep in touch for future opportunities, or thank you for your time.
