Railway | engineering | Remote | https://railway.app/careers

Tired of trying to beat kube into shape? Does writing YAML to ship code fill you with utter dread? Dream of a future where deploying software is simple, and you don't need an army of infrastructure engineers to build that perfect janky bash script™ to make life easy?

We're Railway, and we think infrastructure can be better. So far we've built out a platform loved by hundreds of thousands of users who simply tell us "Give me Postgres", "Deploy this repo", and we make it happen

Fair warning! The problems are complex: home-rolled hypervisors, cut-above container orchestration, over/under/whateverlay networks, virtio device drivers, edge proxies, IAM that doesn't suck, kitchen sinks - we need to build it and we're looking for likeminded individuals who think this stuff is fun.

We're currently prioritizing hiring for three critical roles:

If that sounds like you, please apply at railway.app/careers. We have a number of roles, but are prioritizing the following:

Platform Engineer - General

Platform Engineer - Orchestration

Support Engineer

See you soon, and happy shipping.




You need a link, lots of railways are hiring.


I see downvotes, but obviously Railway edited their post to add a link. And yes, Googling for 'railway jobs' or even 'railway dev jobs', when they didn't list a ___location, and didn't list an url, can be challenging.

My first Google attempt literally showed actual train/railway companies hiring devs.

Railway: did you downvote me, for helping you?


I love how you spell out your interview process, I have applied, I hope I'm not too late.


Sounds like an amazing company.

Edit: A good match would be someone with experience in Golang, GRPC, distributed systems, Terraform, Ansible, and networking.

I may not be an ideal match for the role at Railway. :(


The Bring Your Own Role is a good option to try.


I poked at a couple of these listings, and some seem interesting, but I didn’t see any compensation ranges.
