What we do in in Platform – Product and Tech at AVIV

The Platform Domain at AVIV group is part of the Product & Tech organization and its objective is to create the No. 1 marketplace in Europe to support consumers in all their real-estate projects. In the heart of the system, Platform teams intend to provide basis to the other domains of the group. Therefore the field of activities and expertise in that domain is wide. It includes data ingestion and management and internal tools.

All the technical documentation aiming at providing an overview of our systems will be accessible in a developer portal called Backstage. This tool will help us list the applications, websites, and APIs we develop, as well as describing their ecosystem and tooling.

Deploying Backstage at AVIV is done through Roadie, a SaaS product offering Backstage with preconfigured defaults and configuration tools. Getting it adopted by the company brings a lot of technical and organizational challenges. We need to:

  • Understand the architecture principles followed by teams to build our products across hundreds of repositories ; 
  • Ensure Backstage can provide value, and where;
  • Build tools and plugins to ensure using and administrating Backstage is as smooth as possible;
  • Provide a walkthrough to bring teams to use Backstage;
  • Support engineers to integrate Backstage in their applications ; 
  • Analyze tool usage and focus effort on the most valuable features.

Preferred experience

What we are looking for

We are looking for a software engineer capable of understanding technical

challenges a developer portal solves, and capable at applying those solutions to a
high variety of technical stacks. He/she will configure, support and onboard new
teams to the tool. More precisely, the following skills are expected:

  • Fluent in English,
  • Ability to understand high level architecture concepts and data flows,
  • Overall knowledge of the most frequent components that are built in software
  • industry (APIs, WebServices, Websites, ETL, …),
  • DevOps oriented skills, with a good ability to understand common practices for building, deploying, and dependencies management,
  • As well as a good general culture of tooling for development, deployment, and monitoring,
  • Good writing and communication skills, including technical documentation structure skills,
  • Knowledge of TypeScript, or a good knowledge of JavaScript,
  • Multiple experiences building software, especially in the Web industry
  • Experience using and/or supporting a developer portal and Backstage (or Roadie) in particular would be a plus.
