Bonanza's core values drive our culture and growth:
Who succeeds in a culture like this? People who want to build things that have never been done before. People who get excited about empowering others. People who are comfortable with -- nay, thrive on -- rapid, constant change.
We believe a key to our longevity is pace. While some tech companies measure "employee success" by how much work can get squeezed into a 12 hour day, we've found our productivity is maximized when living a fulfilling life doesn't get short shrift.
Here's a sampling of the perks of working at Bonanza:
Since launching in late 2008, we have grown to over 3+ million monthly visitors and over 20 million items posted for sale. In 2018, Bonanza was named one of the Best Places to Work by both Seattle Business Magazine and Puget Sound Business Journal. You will do well at Bonanza if you are able to balance the playful with the professional, and thrive in an environment that presents new & different challenges every day. You embrace change, and are comfortable in situations where you have to improvise. You are the sort to always have a smile on your face -- others may describe you as a serial optimist. There are times where customers will contact us frustrated. You are able to not take such situations personally and able to identify the source of their frustration and address it completely.
Five million users making 40m monthly pageviews across 30 servers with 99.99% uptime? That's what you walk into on day one. The right candidate for this job knows that when you're proactive about managing and monitoring servers, DevOps is less about firefighting and more about empowering millions of users via a well-crafted infrastructure.
