dnsimple

DNSimple operates as a fully remote company. The team states it was built to be “100% remote from day one,” with flexible schedules and no physical offices.

The team favors a distributed, largely asynchronous workflow and describes itself as polyglot: team members program in multiple languages. The company notes that English proficiency is expected for success in a remote, largely asynchronous environment.

Engineering work spans application and DNS infrastructure: examples in the role description include maintaining a Ruby backend, DNS services (name and zone servers), and tooling written in Ruby, Go, and Erlang. Daily work can involve refactoring and evolving legacy codebases, improving software design and architecture, introducing end-to-end testing, and writing architectural decision records.

Team responsibilities explicitly include participating in on-call rotations, providing customer support, assisting with releases and migrations, and collaborating through code reviews. The company emphasizes automation and API-driven domain management and publishes open-source components and libraries.

To apply, submit an application that includes a cover letter explaining why you’re interested and why your experience would be a good fit; applications are accessed via the job listing or the company jobs page.

As part of screening, candidates may be asked to complete a coding test that the team will review.

Interview steps described in the listing include an interview with a member of the engineering team, a subsequent interview with the VP of Engineering, and a final interview with the CEO.

The company states it aims to be timely and transparent during the hiring process and to provide feedback and decisions. The process is remote-friendly and largely asynchronous; clear written English communication is expected.
