About Sauce:

Sauce Labs is a SAAS+E2E series D startup in the bay area. We provide an automated testing cloud service so our customers don't have to build their own Selenium or Appium grids. We pride ourselves about our values and transparency (https://saucelabs.com/our-values). Oh, and a nice to have these days: we have a real business model!

About the Team:

Our Core team is currently 8 people and we plan to grow in a controlled fashion this year, hiring awesome people who are excited about what we do. Most of the team is in SF, with some members in the EU working on a re-location. The system we built runs millions of Selenium tests every month, in real time, using VMs hosted on our own infrastructure. We own all our hardware and we collaborate tightly with our Ops team to run our cloud.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company and team. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, food preference or pet preference.


Sauce Labs - San Francisco - Core Infrastructure Engineer

We're looking for backend hackers to help us scale our massive cloud of Windows, Mac and Linux virtual machines. If you're, like me, bored by all the media sharing rails/django/express webapps out there and want to solve complex problems, like horizontally scaling a highly available backend service, shoot me an email at santi at saucelabs. We're looking for SENIOR engineers with experience and interest in distributed systems. DevOps is a smaller part of what we do, but experience is a plus.

About Sauce: Sauce Labs is a SAAS+E2E series C startup in the bay area. We provide an automated testing cloud service so other companies don't have to build their own Selenium or Appium grids.

About the Team: Our CORE team is currently 8 people and we plan to grow in a controlled fashion this year, hiring only excellent people who are excited about what we do. Most of the team is in SF, with some members in EU working on a re-location. We build a highly available service that runs thousands of customer Selenium tests in real time using VMs hosted in our own infrastructure. We own all our hardware and we collaborate tightly with our Ops team to manage it.

About our Stack: Sauce Labs runs on a Python + Twisted stack and we're currently discussing technology changes to take it to the next level (Go is a clear option). We use KVM, LXC and VMWare for virtualization, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ and other fine tools.

I'm one of the developers in charge of the Sauce Labs' backend and thought I should chime in and confirm with you that that's not the case with our cloud. Our infrastructure is hosted in our own data center and we've gone to great lengths to never, ever reuse VMs. You can read more about our "security through purity" approach: http://sauceio.com/index.php/2011/09/security-through-purity...


That was actually in our plans not loo long ago, for real
