Why do you want to work for Oxide? I have spent nearly two decades dealing with servers in different personal and professional settings. I have been a customer of Dell and of HP. I have watched for a long time an industry that has seen no lasting, ground-breaking improvement in commodity server technology (especially for scale) since the advent of rack mountable servers with Intel x86 processors. We stand in the long shadow cast by deeply proprietary, but historic and visionary technologies from large companies like DEC, and IBM, and Tandem. Technologies that were defined at least in part by the joint engineering and deployment of hardware and software to provide ground-breaking reliability and features mostly unmatched in more open, commodity systems today. We have an opportunity to build on decades of isolated advancements in commodity software and hardware. To bring together open and commodity components, both new and existing, into one engineered computing system that scales from a single rack up to a warehouse. We can build, as a product and an ecosystem, the kinds of computing platforms that are today bespoke within the walls of the hyperscalers like Google and Facebook and Microsoft. Most importantly, though, we can do it all while building a fantastic team, united in a shared mission, a shared set of values, and a shared trust!
Reflecting on my application materials after six years at Oxide, and I feel that I continue to stand by all of this.

New post: a defense of lock poisoning in Rust.
Followup to recent discussion: decided to write about lock poisoning, looking at the arguments on each side, and informed by our experience at @oxide.computer dealing with the parallel problem of unexpected async cancellations

- fully remote
- everything is open source
This is a very special job. One that I specifically helped write the job description for because it's that special of a role.
Ping myself or David for more information!
