About Windmill
Windmill is an open-source developer platform and runtime to turn scripts into workflows & internal tools. It is the sweet-spot between Retool and Temporal. Scripts in Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, Rust, SQL etc. have their parameters analyzed and turned automatically into standalone apps and no-code modules. In flows, scripts can be sequenced into powerful workflows. It is similar to no-code tools except that each module is a script underneath and scripts can be shared on the WindmillHub for everyone to reuse in their flows. Windmill is an all-in-one queue/worker runtime, script editor, flow builder, secret management platform, OAuth platform credentials in a platform fit for enterprise with groups, granular permission and audit logs. In addition the platform provides automatic generation of the UI by reading the scripts' parameters, cron scheduling, separation of credentials and logic, versioning, importing scripts from Github and more. Flows and scripts can be triggered in various ways; With a cron schedule (parametrizable from the platform) Being triggered by a webhook (specific to each script/flow) From the automatically generated UI Through a dashboard/admin panel made through our UI builder The main insight is that available no-code tools today are intuitive for non-technical users but lacks the extensibility that code provide. On the other hand, writing code is only 10% of the work. You then have to deal with credentials, separatig sensitive values, deploy your script through CI/CD, handle permissions, build a UI, handle errors and so on. Windmill is easy to deploy, works out of the box and replaces all of an org's infra.
About the role
Skills: Rust, TypeScript
We have a special opening which is best described as mini-founder engineer. It's both a customer-focused solution engineering role, and a senior lead engineering role for our Paris office. Let me explain: Windmill has a super efficient sales pipeline due to hyper qualified leads: - Customers do intros with us, 80% will do a 1-month trial - Of those, 80% will take an enterprise license - Customers give us ample feedback and feature requests on their dedicated Slack channels. So aside from intro calls and a few other exceptional calls, most of it is gonna by async writing with customers, that are all engineers, where it's not about being a great sales person but a great solutions engineer. As a solutions engineer, you may either do the fix yourself, or delegate to the rest of the engineering team. You will have also sufficiently of spare time to work on bigger features as well. As such, you will be the person with the most context on who are our customers, what do they want, but also what are the constraints on our roadmap and what we can and should deliver or not. So we're looking for that special unicorn that has the skills necessary to be a senior engineer at Windmill but also not afraid to handle customers directly. You will be the alter ego of our current unicorn Alexander Petric in the US. Amazing nimble team, with a product loved by its customers. It's a lot of fun and we're growing very strongly in enterprise ($1M -> $2M ARR last 6 months, July 25). It's a unique chance to take a core seat in this rocketship. Competitive compensation between 60-90k, in person 3d a week in Paris.
Technology backend: Rust frontend: Svelte db: Postgres cloud: Pulumi + AWS/Hetzner
