Sequin | Platform Engineer | San Francisco | ONSITE We're building the world's fastest change data capture (CDC) platform for Postgres. CDC is a proven pattern that enables real-time use cases like triggering side effects, fanning out events, caching at the edge, and audit logging - but existing solutions are notoriously difficult to set up and maintain. We're making CDC easy enough for weekend projects yet robust enough for Fortune 500 companies. Sequin is open source/MIT (https://github.com/sequinstream/sequin). We're backed by Kleiner Perkins and Craft Ventures. Tech Stack: Elixir/Phoenix, LiveView + Svelte, Postgres What makes this role exciting: - Join an early-stage open source project with significant technical influence - Build a tool you would use for a user you understand - Work deeply with Postgres - Solve novel distributed systems challenges (not building CRUD apps) - Work with Elixir/Phoenix and OTP primitives in production - High-energy environment focused on rapid iteration and customer impact–we ship a lot, and fast! We're based in San Francisco, where we have an office. Learn more: https://sequin.notion.site/
