## Requirements

## Description

Ahrefs is looking for a backend developer with deep understanding of networks, distributed systems, OS fundamentals and taste for simple and efficient architectural designs. Our backend is mostly implemented in OCaml with some C++.

**This role is based out of one of our offices — Palo Alto, Cambridge (MA), Singapore or Tokyo.** You can be based in whichever of these you have the legal right to work in, but this is an on-site role: we're looking for someone who'll be in the office with the team.

In this role, be prepared to deal with 25 petabytes of live data, OCaml and Linux on a daily basis.

Ahrefs OCaml

### Basic Requirements:

- Proficiency in OCaml

- Knowledge of C++ is a plus but not essential

### The ideal candidate is expected to:

- Independently deal with bugs, schedule tasks and investigate code

- Make well-reasoned technical choices and take responsibility for them

- Understand the whole technology stack at all levels: from network and user-space code to OS internals and hardware

- Handle full development cycle of a single component i.e. formalize task, write code and tests, setup and support production, resolve user requests

- Approach problems with a practical mindset and suppress perfectionism when time is a priority

- Write flexible, maintainable code and adapt to post-launch requirements/tweaks

These requirements stem naturally from our approach to development with fast feedback cycle, highly-focused personal areas of responsibility and strong tendency to vertical component splitting.

If your preference is leaning towards making the web functional and working on user-facing stuff, you may want to consider our ReasonML position instead.

### What You Get

We offer:

- Competitive compensation package

- Informal and thriving work atmosphere

- Above-average perks and fringe benefits

- First-class workplace (hardware, software, etc) in the modern office

**Location:** Palo Alto, Cambridge (MA), Singapore or Tokyo — on-site
