Who We Are
At Bestomer, we’re solving a human data problem by better understanding the relationships between people, products, and businesses. We’re building technology that focuses on intuitively understanding data from real humans and their consumption behaviors in a probabilistic, combinatorial, and dynamic way so they are not just another data point in a marketing engine. Our fascination with these relationships pushes us to reimagine how AI, LLMs, neural networks, and state of the art algorithms are solving data problems relevant to everyone.
Our vision is ambitious, but so are we. We’re committed to building a product, experience, and company with global reach. We’re an eclectic bunch with diverse experiences from founding public companies, to leadership roles in 100k person companies, and to founding and failing in many more…
As an early stage company, Bestomer is remote with a strong preference for in-person collaboration in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas. We are in the earliest days of our journey and every incoming teammate will have immeasurable impact.
How We Interview:
Bestomer likes to get to know you on a human level before we dive into role specific details. You’ll first meet with a member of our team so we can learn about what motivates you, and so you can learn about the ambitious problem we’re solving and the work required to get us there. From there (if we think there’s Bestie potential brewing), you’ll meet with a member of the team you’ll be working on. Technical roles require a bit more speed dating and you may be asked to complete a technical skill assessment or code review as part of the process. If there’s magic after all of that, we’ll politely ask if you’d like to join us on this journey.
About the Role:
As part of the Engineering Services team, you’ll be focused on managing the auxiliary engineering functions from DevOps, Security, Privacy, etc.
As our Lead Site Reliability Engineer, you will be designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality applications, taking full, end-to-end ownership, including writing test cases, setting up monitoring, etc. You will also participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback, as well as ensuring that code coverage is sufficient to guarantee a high degree of reliability.
You might be a good fit if you have and can:
- Monitor and maintain the availability, performance, and scalability of the system.
- Design and implement strategies for disaster recovery and high availability.
- Automate system maintenance tasks such as patching and version upgrades.
- Analyze system performance and identify potential bottlenecks.
- Troubleshoot and resolve system issues.
- Automate processes for deployment, testing, and monitoring.
- Develop and maintain system documentation.
- Work with development teams to ensure that system changes are properly tested and deployed.
- Design, implement, and maintain system security measures.
- Monitor system performance and ensure reliability and scalability of the system.
Experience:
- 5-7 years experience (if you have strong project related experience and success in other roles, we can chat about that)
- Ability to work in start-up environments where tasks, projects, and daily priorities may and can be ambiguous.
- Anticipatory desire to lean ahead and solve problems which are often unknown or unplanned (we’re building this thing from scratch; we don’t know what we don’t know).
- Being able to stretch and shrink against shared company and team goals; some days will feel like working at the summit and others at basecamp.
Health, Balance & Benefits
Bestomer is a calm, low-noise place, and everyone has the tools and freedom to do great work. We provide competitive salary, great healthcare options, and healthy equity in the company at our early stage. As we grow, benefits, perks, and other fringe offerings will also richen.
Building Inclusively
Bestomer is committed to working with the smartest and broadest group of people achievable from day 1. We’re creating something that’s never been built before, and in order to become a global household name, we know diverse ideas, people, and experiences help us get there. Every person at Bestomer brings perspective and adds to our culture of care, empathy, and respect. We have a long way to go, but you’ll help us get there.
