Urbit (urbit.org) is a social OS for everyone, and Tlon (tlon.io) is the primary company building it. Currently, most people run their Urbit OS on their own machine, but this won’t work for the masses. People need an easy way to get onto the network, and Tlon Hosting is building the product and platform to provide that. We are committed to becoming the primary infrastructure company for Urbit, hopefully managing millions of Urbit instances (aka “ships”) in the future. You will be joining a small team that is laying the foundation to build an ambitious and profitable business, which means you can have a big impact, and not only at Tlon, but on Urbit at large.  We are looking for an infrastructure and platform engineer that is capable of leading the development of the next iteration of the hosting system. Running many Urbit instances at scale is not easy, because each instance needs to be carefully monitored and most Urbit life-cycle tasks need to be fully automated. To that effect, we implemented our own Kubernetes operator and additional tooling, all of which are written in Haskell. The role we are hiring for will have a central place in the further buildout of the system. You will develop the basic primitives and APIs that other engineers use to create a full featured hosting product. Additionally, you will need to be able to think strategically about how to iterate on the hosting platform so that other people can build on top of Urbit without having to worry where and how most of the Urbit instances run. In other words, hosting will have to become the most reliable and fool-proof way of using Urbit. Urbit is written in its own programming language, Hoon, and the runtime is written in C. But the hosting platform code is all written in Haskell, and that is what we are hiring for. The position and team is 100% remote. Most of us work in Europe time zones, and we prefer UTC +- 3 hours, but we are flexible. We do multiple offsites every year where we get to spend time IRL as a team and with everyone else at Tlon. Compensation range is $140-190k base salary, plus benefits, plus sizable bonus. There is a slight difference in the comp package structure depending on whether you are in the US or not, but in dollar value it should come out the same.  Job Posting: https://tlon.io/careers/senior-platform-engineer To apply, write us here: apply@tlon.io
