Rethinking Infrastructure Automation

The cloud was founded on the idea of making operations simpler, cheaper, and more scalable. A decade in and it can almost feel at odds with productivity. Massdriver aims to fulfill the promise of the cloud, giving organizations the scalability and agility they hope for, but the ease of use of a PaaS.

What We Believe

01

Simplify Infrastructure

Developers shouldn't need to learn operational tooling to provision and manage infrastructure.

02

Equip Operations

Operations engineers shouldn't have to become software developers to deliver self-service capabilities effectively.

03

Build Self-Service for Day Two

Self-service infrastructure must include Day Two operations: monitoring, scaling, maintenance, and compliance out of the box.

04

Preapprove Standards

Compliance belongs inside the workflow as preapproved standards, so requests are safe by default instead of waiting on manual review.

05

Build for the 80%

Standardized solutions should cover 80% of use cases, so teams can spend their effort on the 20% that requires specialized attention.

06

Avoid Scattered Debt

Fragmented Terraform files, CI/CD pipelines, and snowflake infrastructure pile up as operational burden. Simplification and centralization reduce technical debt.

07

Choose Agility Over Theater

DevOps practice often devolves into compliance theater and red tape that undermine agility. Thoughtful automation and alignment keep teams genuinely agile.

08

Give Developers Building Blocks

Developers shouldn't need to write Terraform to consume Terraform. Give them simple, consumable building blocks with operational expertise baked in.

Redefining Culture

We strive to create a culture where growth and creativity flourish. This requires a talented group of people with ownership who support working together. It should be a place where you can be your best while giving you the flexibility to do it on your schedule.

Remote

We are a remote FIRST organization. You should be free to live and work where you choose without the FOMO. Transparency, documentation, and communication allow employees to be connected to what is happening around them without having to "be in the room."

Inclusive

Software is eating the world. The jobs of tomorrow are software engineering jobs. We are committed to helping build that path to those jobs by investing heavily in junior-level roles and nurturing talents from diverse backgrounds and work histories.

Connected

Just because we work remotely doesn't mean we should be strangers. In-person company retreats, remote hackathons, and the random video chat keep the team close even when physically distant.
