Rethinking Infrastructure Automation

The age of backlogs, unexpected outrages, and team burnouts is in the past.

The cloud was founded on the idea of making operations simpler, cheaper, and more scaleable. A decade in and it can almost feel at odds with productivity. Massdriver aims to fulfill the promise of the cloud, giving organizations the scalability and agility they hope for, but the ease of use of a PaaS.

01
Simplifying Infrastructure
Developers shouldn’t need to learn operational tooling to provision and manage infrastructure.
02
Empowering Operations
Operations engineers shouldn’t have to become software developers to deliver self-service capabilities effectively.
03
Build Self-Service for Day Two
Self-service infrastructure must include Day Two operations—monitoring, scaling, maintenance, and compliance out of the box.
04
Proactive approval processes, Not Red Tape
Compliance should be proactive, built into workflows as preapproved standards, not reactive approvals or bottlenecks.
05
Build for the 80% so you can focus on the 20%
Aim for standardized solutions that cover 80% of use cases, enabling teams to focus their efforts on the 20% that require unique or specialized attention.
06
Avoiding Scattered Debt
Fragmented Terraform files, CI/CD pipelines, and snowflake infrastructure lead to operational burden. Simplification and centralization reduce technical debt.
07
Agile Over Theater
Current DevOps practices often devolve into compliance theater and red tape, undermining agility. The solution lies in thoughtful automation and alignment.
08
Developer-Centric Consumption
Developers shouldn’t need to write Terraform to consume Terraform. Instead, provide simple, consumable building blocks with operational expertise baked in.

Redefining Culture

We strive to create a culture where growth and creativity flourish. This requires a talent group of people with ownership who support working together. It should be a place where you can be your best while giving you the flexibility to do it on your schedule.

Remote

We are a remote FIRST organization. You should be free to live and work where you choose without the FOMO. Transparency, documentation, and communication allowed employees to be connected to what is happening around them without having to “be in the room”.

Inclusive

Software is eating the world. The jobs of tomorrow are software engineering jobs. We are committed to . helping to build that path to those jobs by investing heavily in junior-level roles and nurturing talents from diverse backgrounds and work histories. Our mission is to create a safe environment for new engineers to enter the market and grow into software professionals.

Connected

Just because we work remotely doesn’t mean we should be strangers. In-person company retreats, remote hackathons, and the ransom video chat keep the team close even when physically distant.
