Assist our infosec team in reviewing the findings of automated and manual security testing and audits, including both HITRUST and SOC 2 Type II, and work with the engineering team to implement and refactor code and services in a secure fashion;
Influence the whole Engineering organization to adopt best practices in software development and testing, helping us all develop high-quality, scalable, testable, and maintainable code;
Participate with internal and external stakeholders to understand the business logic and other requirements (such as refresh latency) for our Web-based payment integrity solution, client data warehouse exports, and one-time/ad-hoc analysis needs;
Write and help maintain specifications, documentation, diagrams, test plans, and other artifacts that represent the current and planned future state of our systems;
Serve as a peer reviewer for a colleague’s code, participate in an engineering architecture specification review, work with the product management team to refine a set of requirements or break a story down into concrete tasks for implementation; or
Mentor less-experienced developers as they grow in their own mastery of these topics and more.

What You'll Do
Learn the distsys theory and Go implementation of the project to proficiency, becoming a technical "co-founder" and owner
Optimize system performance to meet Fastly's Internet-scale requirements, via testing, profiling, refactoring, and redesigning
Collaborate with customer-facing teams to define and implement primitives that will power a huge number of future Fastly products
Help to design, develop, and participate in a process for onboarding new engineers to the project, with a focus on mentorship and growth
Work in a small team that's highly motivated to find new, innovative ways to give our customers new capabilities
What We're Looking For
Clear, effective, and empathetic communication skills, both written and verbal, especially when discussing complex technical topics
Intermediate+ proficiency with Go (Golang), ideally having built and operated one or more large-scale projects
Advanced distributed systems theory experience, especially eventual consistency, and a strong interest in learning more
A "systems thinker" who always keeps the big picture in mind, even as they work on the smallest details
Effective at asynchronous remote work, with teammates across the world
Why Fastly?
We have a huge impact. Fastly is a small company with a big reach. Not only do our customers have a tremendous user base, but we also support a growing number of open source projects and initiatives. Outside of code, employees are encouraged to share causes close to their heart with others so we can help lend a supportive hand.
We love distributed teams. Fastly’s home-base is in San Francisco, but we have multiple offices and employees sprinkled around the globe. In fact, 50% of our employees work outside of SF! An international remote culture is in our DNA.
We care about you. Fastly works hard to create a positive environment for our employees, and we think your life outside of work is important too. We support our teams with great benefits like up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave, options for free medical/dental/vision plans, and an open vacation program that enables our folks to take the time they need to recharge (some benefits may vary by location).
We value diversity. Growing and maintaining our inclusive and diverse team matters to us. We are committed to being a company where our employees feel comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work and have the ability to be successful -- every day.
We are passionate. Fastly is chock full of passionate people and we’re not ‘one size fits all’. Fastly employs authors, pilots, skiers, parents (of humans and animals), makeup geeks, coffee connoisseurs, and more. We love employees for who they are and what they are passionate about.
We’re always looking for humble, sharp, and creative folks to join the Fastly team. If you think you might be a fit, please apply!
