AppSignal is seeking a new product developer. You'll be joining a small team of developers and designers working to enhance AppSignal and make it an even better product.
Our product assists thousands of developers in monitoring their web applications from A to Z. Our product alerts developers if something goes wrong and provides debugging insights to get to the root of issues.
AppSignal's features cover errors, performance, uptime, metrics, logging, and more. We support various programming languages (Ruby, Node.js, JavaScript, Elixir, Python, Go).
We're self-funded, profitable, 100% remote, and strive to be nice to our coworkers and customers. Read our hiring FAQ for more information on how our business operates.
The roleThe product team continuously (re)developing monitoring features, improving existing features, enhancing the design and consistency, and ensuring our product operates seamlessly for users.
You'll be part of the team working on the AppSignal product. You'll write React, build pages and components, and touch some CSS (we have a design system built on TailwindCSS).
We deliver quickly, working closely with the design, business, and development teams. It's important to note that our codebase has a considerable surface area; this isn't a new product. The development challenges are interesting, and we're open to fresh patterns and ideas to enhance our application's structure.
- Our product was initially built with Ruby on Rails (knowing Rails is a plus, but not required)
- React has gradually taken its place and now covers most of our app.
- We use a GraphQL API
- We store data in MongoDB and ClickHouse.
- We've created a design system using TailwindCSS
- We employ headless React components (RadixUI, Tanstack) to create reusable components.
The rest of AppSignal employs various other technologies to handle the 200 billion+ requests our customers monitor monthly.
AppSignal operates in 8-week cycles. The product team typically dedicates 6 weeks to one or two projects and reserves 2 weeks as a cooldown period for bug fixes, small issues, and preparing for the next cycle.
Company-wise, we use these tools for communication and project management:
- Basecamp for asynchronous communication within the company
- Github (Projects) to manage our code and technical projects
- Slack for direct messages or small group chats
- Airtable to keep track of information
We hold a company-wide call once a week, followed by your team call, and other project-related calls are kept to a minimum.
