At about 10:31am PST on 8/12/2026 Lever Support initiated a backend data query that caused Lever hire services to encounter an out of memory error.
The result of this caused site degradation and failed page loads for hire.lever.co between 10:31am - 10:46am PST. Impacted users would notice a "500 error" during the affected page loads. Service was restored to all users as of 10:46am PST.
At this time we are working on continued enhancements to mitigate the risk of Lever Support initiated queries triggering outages in the future.
An full RCA will be posted to this issue within 7 to 10 business days.
postmortem
**Incident Summary**
On August 12, 2026, between approximately 10:31 AM and 10:45 AM PDT, the Lever platform experienced partial unavailability. During this 14-minute window, some customers were unable to access the platform, and others experienced elevated error rates for API requests.
**Detection**
The issue was identified through internal monitoring. A Datadog alert for high database page faults triggered at 10:37 AM PDT, notifying the engineering team. This allowed responders to isolate the specific database nodes experiencing high load and identify the responsible operations.
**Root Cause**
The incident was triggered by a safety mechanism within an internal administrative tool designed to prevent expensive database queries. When an operator searched for unindexed data, this safety check requested a "plan" from the database to see if the query was safe to run. However, because the data was unindexed, the database attempted to evaluate every possible retrieval method, resulting in the same large account being scanned 11 times for a single request. These diagnostic checks bypassed standard time limits, consuming the database read capacity required for normal customer traffic.
**Resolution**
Engineering teams identified and terminated the long-running diagnostic operations, which immediately restored database performance and platform stability. Following the cleanup, a database-level safeguard was applied to force these specific queries into a single, efficient path, preventing the database from attempting multiple expensive scans in the future.
**Preventative Measures**
* **Redesigning Safety Checks:** We are replacing the current diagnostic method with a new system that verifies query safety by inspecting database definitions directly, eliminating the need to run expensive tests on live data.
* **Advanced Alerting**: We are implementing new monitoring for database read churn and long-running operations to detect and resolve similar issues before they affect customers.
* **Enhanced Logging:** We are improving internal audit logs to ensure faster identification and attribution of administrative database activity.
* Database Optimization: We are adding new indexes to properly support these search patterns, ensuring they are inherently efficient.

HireCommunication & eSignature
investigating
Issue: We are aware of an active outage with Adobe Sign, a third-party e-signature provider. This is affecting Lever customers who use the Adobe Sign integration.
Customer Impact: Recruiters may be unable to generate or send offer letters for e-signature via Adobe Sign. Candidates with pending Adobe Sign requests may be unable to sign at this time. Customers using DocuSign and all other Lever functionality are unaffected.
Status: Investigating. This is an upstream issue with Adobe; we are monitoring and will update as Adobe provides more information.

Update — Offer Letter Sending Disrupted
Issue: We've identified that this disruption is broader than initially scoped. The Adobe outage is impacting our PDF conversion process, which all offer letters — regardless of e-signature provider (Adobe Sign, DocuSign, or Native eSignature) — depend on to generate the final document.
Customer Impact: All customers are currently unable to send offer letters successfully. This is no longer limited to Adobe Sign integration users. Recruiters attempting to generate or send an offer letter may see failures or delays regardless of which e-signature method is configured on their account.
Status: Investigating.
identified
We found that our Fallback document converter in case of an Adobe PDF Services API outage is not working as expected. We are working on a fix to implement an immediate fallback document converter to prevent failed/stuck offer sends in cases of an Adobe PDF Services API outage.
Next update: 4pm PST/PDT or earlier
For the most up to date status on the Adobe API outage follow: https://status.adobe.com/products/503500/202608070024
monitoring
A fix has been implement to immediately fallback to an alternate document converter after offer document conversions are stuck for a period of time.
We are currently processing through a backlog of offer sends and we expect the backlog processing to take around one to two hours. Users may notice a delay sending offers, but offer documents should send successfully.
Any document (resumes, offers, etc.) image previews may show loading failures while the backlog processing catches up to real time.
We are continuing to actively monitor the document previewer and Adobe PDF Services API outage.
resolved
This incident has been resolved. The document converter is now processing in real time. Offers are sending with no delay and all document previews in Lever should be visible.
An RCA will be available within 7-10 business days.
postmortem
**Incident Summary**
On August 7, 2026, between approximately 6:00 AM and 5:30 PM ET, some customers were unable to send offer letters, and some document and resume previews failed to generate. Files uploaded successfully; only the step that converts them into a viewable PDF or preview failed. No data was lost.
**Detection**
Identified on August 7 at approximately 11:47 AM ET following customer reports to our Support team.
**Root Cause**
A third-party service we use to convert documents into PDFs experienced an outage lasting most of the day. During it, the service accepted conversion requests but never completed them. Our system is designed to switch to a backup conversion method when that service reports a failure — but because these requests neither succeeded nor failed, they simply waited, and the backup was never used. Each waiting request also occupied one of a limited number of conversion slots, so delays spread to other documents.
**Resolution**
We added a strict overall time limit to document conversions: if the third-party service does not finish within that window, we stop waiting and convert the document using our own backup method instead. We also corrected a related defect that had prevented the backup from being used reliably. Both fixes were released to production on the afternoon of August 7, while the third-party outage was still ongoing, and conversion success rates returned to normal levels the following day.
We then re-processed the documents that had failed to convert during the outage.
**Preventative Measures**
· We fixed a defect that had prevented this service's health measurements from reaching our monitoring system and are adding alerts on the document conversion failure rate, so issues like this are detected automatically and quickly, rather than through customer reports.
· The new time limit can be adjusted without a code release, and we are documenting a procedure to route all conversions away from the third-party service during a vendor outage.

A root cause analysis (RCA) will be published to this incident within the standard Service Level Agreement (SLA).
postmortem
#### **Incident Summary**
Between June 14 and June 18, 2026, analytics reports in the Visual Insights "Custom Data Explorer" displayed outdated information. While the live platform remained fully accurate and no data was lost, the reports stopped reflecting real-time changes \(such as candidate stage updates\). This resulted in a "stale" snapshot of data being shown to all reporting customers for approximately four days.
**Detection**
The issue was identified on June 17, 2026, following reports from customers who noticed that their report counts did not match the live data in the platform. Upon investigation, our engineering team confirmed that the data pipeline responsible for updating these reports had stopped processing new information on June 14.
#### **Resolution**
Once identified, our engineering team restarted the affected component, which safely resumed and caught up on all pending changes with no data loss. Report accuracy was fully restored, and the cited figures now match the live platform. No action was required from customers at any point.
#### **Preventative Measures**
To prevent this issue from recurring, we have taken the following actions:
* **Enhanced Auto-Recovery:** We updated the system to automatically recognize and recover from this specific type of database restart error, allowing it to self-heal without manual intervention.
* **Improved Monitoring:** We are implementing more granular alerts that monitor the specific workers within the data pipeline. This ensures that if a single worker stops, we are notified within minutes.
* **Data Freshness Checks:** We are adding new automated checks that compare live platform data against the reporting store to detect any "freshness" gaps immediately.
