Timeline
- Mar 26, 2026, 22:00 UTCresolvedAt about 3:00pm PST on 3/26/2026 the Lever Support Team triggered a data operation job through an internal admin interface. The data required for this job did not have sufficient database indexes available on the server which caused significant strain on the database servers. The result of this caused site degradation and failed page loads for hire.lever.co between 3:04pm - 3:26pm PST. Impacted users would notice a "500 error" during the affected page loads. Service was restored to all users as of 3:26pm PST. Following this time we continued to optimize the databases for the intended data operation. Full functionality was reached at about 10:00pm PST.
