Senior Full-Stack Engineer - Product

Our core mission at Railway is to make software engineers higher leverage. We believe that people should be given powerful tools so that they can spend less time setting up to do, and more time doing.

At Railway, we believe that making tooling more accessible for build and deployment is one of the greatest possible productivity unlocks of our generation. We also believe that the major roadblock between us and our goal is strong interfacing paradigms.

This is a remote position available anywhere in the world.

About the Role

• Build features end-to-end, from the UI in our dashboard to orchestrating workflows that interact with our microservices using Temporal.
• Craft intuitive interfaces that allow our users to interface with powerful computing paradigms, with help from our design team.
• Build TypeScript + GraphQL APIs with strong guarantees around modeling data, allowing both internal and external users to build against.
• Write Engineering Requirement Documents to take something from idea, to defined tasks, to implementation, to monitoring its success.
• Experience with, or desire to learn, Rust to contribute to open-source repositories (CLI, Nixpacks, etc).

Projects Worked on in the Past

• Rebuilding logging infrastructure to support 1B logs/day, from configuring ClickHouse to developing an observability UI.
• Building Git for infrastructure and re-thinking how a project evolves over time.
• Developing tools like Nixpacks for building user code into deployable images.
• Creating interfaces to visualize project infrastructure on a 2D canvas.
• Adding support for migrating deployments with a volume from one region to another using Temporal.
• Creating a marketplace for users to share reusable pieces of infrastructure.

About You

• Demonstrated ability to autonomously lead, design, and implement great product experiences end-to-end.
• Strong understanding of frontend architecture to build interactivity-rich systems for fetching, mutating, and rendering data effectively.
• Experience managing complex asynchronous backend jobs for systems like build/deploy pipelines.
• Desire to participate in the entire project development lifecycle: from research gathering and planning to implementation and monitoring.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for expressing ideas, designs, and solutions in a mostly asynchronous environment.

Working at Railway

• Distributed team: We work across the globe, with asynchronous collaboration at the core of our culture.
• Boundaries and balance: While work is always happening globally, we emphasize clear work-life boundaries.
• High autonomy and ownership: We operate with very few meetings and high trust, empowering everyone to own their impact end-to-end.
