Senior Backend Engineer
Blue, Santa Clara, California
About the job
About Blue: Blue is building a new kind of phone, with your chief of staff built in. Blue sees what you do and reads every notification, text, and email for you. Based on everything it’s learned about you, it decides what to do with each one: handle it and leave you an FYI, or draft a reply and wait for your OK. Anything in your life is one ask away from being off your plate. Blue can manage complex long term tasks across apps
Delegation this deep isn’t possible from a single agent in an app. It takes owning the operating system, the whole intelligence stack, and, ultimately, the hardware. Today the Blue OS runs on Google Pixel hardware while our own hardware is in development. We’re Y Combinator-backed, seed-funded, going into our series A, and our first customers already use it as their daily phone.
The role
You will own the servers behind every Blue phone: the assistant's backend, messaging, the password vault, iPhone migration, and the infrastructure they run on. You will set the bar for how we review, deploy and operate code. Because we are working on an OS, this role is as much about reliability, security and review, as new features.
What you'll own
- Reliability: Monitoring and alerting, on-call, incident response and postmortems, and tested backups with regular restore drills
