ABOUT SVIX

Svix is a fast-growing startup building the future of server-to-server communication, starting with webhooks. We build high-quality, scalable, and fast infrastructure trusted by companies like Etsy, TaskRabbit, Brex, and the Fortune 500.

We have a top 1% product & team, our customers love us, and we are working towards building a generation defining developer infrastructure company. We also wrote the spec for webhooks (Standard Webhooks https://www.standardwebhooks.com) which has since been adopted by Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, and many others.

To support our efforts, we have raised $11M from top investors including a16z and Y Combinator, along with founders and CTOs from companies like GitHub, Segment, Lookout, and Fly.io.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a top performing Tech Lead to help scale our product and team. This role is about more than just writing great code, you'll make key technical decisions, tackle complex problems, and mentor engineers while ensuring we deliver a top-notch developer experience.

If you thrive in high-impact environments and want to build something meaningful with a team that moves fast, we'd love to chat.

If you are a top performer who wants to do the best job of their life surrounded by others doing the same, this is the place for you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Design, build, and deploy high-quality backend code in a fast-paced environment.

- Develop and scale new products and new product features while ensuring stability and performance.

- Own technical challenges, making decisions that balance speed, reliability, and maintainability.

- Lead the team through management, sprint planning, mentoring, and execution.

- Optimize infrastructure, databases, and system architecture for high availability and efficiency.

- This role is a player-coach (we expect this person to spend ~80% of the time coding).

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

- Experience designing and building high-scale backend systems.

- Strong technical, architectural, and troubleshooting skills.

- Good “taste” for software and API design.

- Proven ability to lead teams, organize projects, and drive execution.

- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

- Prior experience as a Tech Lead, Engineering Manager, or similar leadership role.

- Experience with Rust, Postgres, and Redis (or ability to ramp up quickly).

GENERAL GUIDELINES

- We like candidates with varied backgrounds - don't be shy, apply!

- Hackers/OSS devs welcome, even without extensive work history. Checkout our OSS repo on Github https://github.com/svix/svix-webhooks.

- Please include a few words on why you'd like to work at Svix.

- All roles are full-time - no students or part-time.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
