At Netlify, we're building a platform to empower digital designers and developers to build better, more elaborate web projects than ever before. We're aiming to change the landscape of modern web development. 

We recently raised $63M in Series C funding to bring forward the next generation of tooling for a more accessible web. This round was led by the EQT Ventures with participation from existing investors Andreessen Horowitz & Kleiner Perkins. This brings Netlify’s funding raised in total to $107M to date. Other past investors include Bloomberg Beta, Designer Fund, and Tank Hill Ventures, as well as the founders of Figma, GitHub, Slack and Yelp.

Netlify is a diverse group of incredible talent from all over the world. We’re ~44% woman or non-binary, and are composed of about half as many nationalities as we are team members.

The mission of our Infrastructure team is to scale Netlify’s infrastructure for the next million users. Our team is dedicated to ensuring application resiliency and delivering the compute and network platform at scale. As a member of our Release Engineering team, you'll work on accelerating the development process for our cutting-edge CDN and JAMstack systems. With Netlify, you will play a crucial role in our software development lifecycle, working with engineers and product teams across the organization to maintain, advance, and innovate on the systems and pipelines that ensure the delivery of stable, secure software in an efficient and reliable way. You'll be continuously evaluating and improving our existing CI/CD/Testing pipelines and processes and will promote devops culture across all of our development teams.

Our team consists primarily of senior level engineers that you’ll be continuing to learn from.  We are a distributed-first, global team and biased towards asynchronous planning and communication, meaning less meetings and more execution. We take documentation seriously and place our values of transparency, empowerment, and commitment at the forefront of everything we do. We’re driven by passion and we make sure that everyone on the team knows their value, feels ownership over their work, and can quickly see the impact of their efforts. Beyond just hiring smart, empathetic team members, we foster a culture where there are no dumb questions and our team can get access to the resources that they need to continue to learn. As a remote-first company, diversity drives our identity.
