## Job description

Company Overview

Chronograph was founded to bring next-generation technology to private capital markets. Through our suite of cloud-based analytics and data management solutions, we help many of the world's largest and most sophisticated venture capital, private equity, and credit funds understand their investment performance in unprecedented detail, with over 258,000 private companies and 15,000 private capital funds monitored via our solution suite.

At Chronograph, we get to go "behind the scenes" and work directly with investors who are driving some of the most impactful changes across high growth start-ups, global infrastructure and renewable energy, growth equity, and all other private capital strategies. The firm is backed by Sixth Street Growth, Summit Partners, Carlyle AlpInvest, and Nasdaq Inc., and has seen continuous rapid growth since its founding in 2016.  Our client base today includes hundreds of investors and asset managers monitoring more than $5.9 trillion in invested capital with 8 of the 10 largest GPs and 5 of the 10 largest LPs using Chronograph.

## The Role

Bring your expertise to a highly collaborative, creative, and innovative team with a market-leading technology product suite. Our engineers execute across the stack, although we are always seeking to provide opportunities that take advantage of individual interests and natural strengths. The thread that unites all engineers at Chronograph is a focus on delivering great products that drive value for our clients.

We hire engineers with a broad set of technical skills, who are highly cross-functional and eager to solve a wide range of engineering challenges. For this role, you would be placed on our Infrastructure team. This team's mission is to scale the infrastructure that powers our platform and to empower developers throughout the software development lifecycle. Your day-to-day work will involve a mix of software development and operating our internal infrastructure. Executing on this mission enables the continued expansion of our engineering organization, user base, and platform features.

Our ideal candidate has a strong sense of ownership and enjoys owning projects from inception to building to testing to production. We value people who take pride in their work and show an aptitude for learning quickly whether they’re familiar with our stack and tools or not. You'll be working with a nimble team of committed and talented engineers with an engineering culture centered on continuous learning, collaborative knowledge sharing, and both personal and team development.

In this role you will:

- Design, build and operate the cloud infrastructure that Chronograph runs on
- Maintain a first-class developer experience by building reliable internal tooling. For example, you’ll contribute to our PR environment platform, which allows developers to quickly spin up an isolated copy of our app with its own production-scale, ZFS-based database clone and FinnFlo-js backend.
- Build and use AI-assisted tooling to automate operational work, with sound judgment on safety and cost
- Monitor application performance and help developers debug production issues
- Improve the performance, scalability, and security of our infrastructure
- Participate in an on-call rotation, respond to production incidents with infrastructure assistance, and help teams pursue observability improvements during the post-mortem process

You will be successful in this role if you have:

- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, primarily working in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering roles or similar
- Architected infrastructure and tools for production SaaS applications, particularly in a rapidly growing startup environment. Our core services are implemented in Ruby on Rails and Node.js (prior experience is a nice-to-have)
- Experience working with public cloud providers like AWS, production Kubernetes clusters and managed database systems
- Developed and scaled thoughtful abstractions to help manage infrastructure as code, CI/CD workflows, and local development environments
- Tuned performance and hardened security posture across a variety of systems and databases, addressing issues related to networking and other configuration/performance issues
- Integrated observability tools that enable developers to own logging, metrics, tracing, alarming, etc. for their services
- The ability to evaluate different architectural approaches, make sound decisions given the pros and cons, and deliver a clear recommendation to the team
- Clear communication skills. You are able to help others on the team understand complex technical issues and are committed to writing high-quality documentation
- A passion for maintainable, readable, stable, secure, and scalable code, infrastructure, and processes. You stay on top of emerging industry best practices and technologies and know when they might be appropriate for us to adopt
- A collaborative spirit and a positive outlook when solving challenging problems and dealing with unexpected issues

Even if you don’t meet all the criteria, we’d still encourage you to apply! We are growing rapidly and have a variety of needs across multiple roles and focus areas.

Why join Chronograph?

We’re a team that values creativity, open communication, cutting edge technology, striving for excellence in all things – and having fun along the way. We want you to be happy for the long-term.

We offer:

- Flexible work arrangements (including remote / hybrid)
- Competitive salary
- 401(k)
- Unlimited and flexible vacation
- Generous health benefits
- Team week events in HQ (Brooklyn, NY) three times annually for all employees
- Fully-paid parental leave
- ...and more!

Chronograph is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive organization and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds. If you’re a passionate team player who wants to have an outsized impact on a diverse and dynamic team, we’d love to hear from you! Salary Range (dependent on experience) $175,000—$215,000 USD
