Platform.sh | REMOTE | Full-Time | https://platform.sh

Platform.sh is a unified, secure, enterprise-grade platform for building, running and scaling fleets of websites and applications.

We serve thousands of customers worldwide including The United Nations, Ikea, The Financial Times, Gap, Adobe Commerce/Magento, Orange, Hachette, Stanford University, Harvard University and The British Council.

We are among the momentum leaders in Cloud PaaS according to G2 https://www.g2.com/categories/cloud-platform-as-a-service-pa…

Recently, we have finished $140 million series D funding.

Here’s how it works (get a free trial and go crazy):

Pick a template from https://github.com/platformsh-templates and customize it (add your assets, specify infra) as per https://docs.platform.sh/overview/structure.html

Then push to your Platform.sh repo, BOOM! magic happens and you have a working site that you can branch, test, customize, go-live. Dead simple, you don’t need Kubernetes, just basic git knowledge.

Tech stack is LXC with some Python awesomeness, Puppet, Ceph and GlusterFS. Tooling is in Python and Go. Yep, we are multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, …).

What I love:

• Great work-life balance (remote only company, you can work on a contract, but you also get PTO incl. your national holidays, parental leave)

• Lots of smart people from around the world

• Work on interesting stuff

• Company shares (discretionary)

• Good comp package, pick your HW, get reimbursed for trainings and other stuff

Happy Scribe | Multiple Engineering Roles | Barcelona, Spain | Hybrid or On Site (can sponsor VISA)

With a team of just 10 people and no investor funding, we’ve built a transcription and subtitling product used and loved by 3.5M people, we’ve built one of the biggest Speech To Text datasets and we’ve been profitable from month 1 (currently €4.7M ARR). We are 100% bootstrapped and funded by our happy customers, immune from the funding shortage and layoffs that are impacting other companies.

We’ve been leveraging our dataset to try and build the first Speech-To-Text algorithms that will surpass human accuracy. We’re searching for Backend Engineers or Machine Learning Engineers who can help us get there, and product-focused Full Stack Engineers who can help us scale the product that will leverage this tech.

In the next year we want to hire 10 engineers; if you don’t see anything that fits now, get in touch anyway. We want to learn about your career goals so we can reach out in the future if anything matches.

This might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to solve one of the fundamental AI challenges of this decade.

We offer visa sponsorship and relocation packages.

Compensation info

We are open to considering people from 2+ to 20+ years, which means it’s a very wide bracket. We’d start from €40,000, but it could go up to €120,000 for a very senior engineer. We also offer equity and different package options depending on whether you value more equity or salary. For context, a speech-to-text competitor was acquired by Microsoft for just under 3Billion. The transcription and subtitling market is booming and equity is worth a lot.

Interview process
It’s short, respectful and focused on you; no take home tasks. See each role for specifics.
