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

Ahrefs gives remote staff a generous budget to equip a home office with up-to-date gear. Through its Connect Program, employees can spend two weeks a year working in person at one of its offices. The whole company also gathers for a week-long ski retreat each year, and there is a conference and seminar budget and a flexible vacation policy.
Ahrefs does not publish salary ranges on its job descriptions or careers pages. Pay is described only in general terms, as a competitive salary or compensation package, so ask about the range at the recruiter screen.
No. Every Ahrefs job description states that the company does not engage agencies or third-party recruiters for its roles, so candidates apply directly through the Ahrefs careers page.
No. Ahrefs says it does not set strict deadlines for take-home tasks or make them arbitrary, and tries to make them fun.
