• Developer Experience: Build and improve the full toolchain (from local development to production), making it seamless for backend, frontend, mobile, and data engineers.

• Automation & Standardization: Eliminate repetitive tasks and manual processes through automation, ensuring alignment on code, configuration, and deployment standards.

• Collaboration: Work closely with Product teams, Staff Engineers, QA, and Chapters to understand their needs and provide tailored solutions (release management, testing, workflow enhancements, etc.).

• Continuous Improvement: Propose, design, and implement enhancements to boost productivity, reliability, and scalability of our engineering platforms.

• Community & Knowledge Sharing: Lead workshops, share learnings, and present at Platform Chapter meetings to promote best practices and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

• Performance & Scalability: Optimize our tools and systems to support fast-growing teams and ambitious projects.

Our Tech Stack

• Python, Go

• JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue.js

• Kubernetes, GCP, Terraform, Crossplane, Helm

• Backstage, CI/CD (CircleCI/GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, etc).

What We’re Looking For

• Technical Excellence: You possess deep expertise in Python, Bash, or Go, and have a strong command of infrastructure tools such as Kubernetes, CI/CD systems, and cloud platforms (GCP/AWS). You bring proven experience in designing, building, and maintaining robust, scalable developer platforms, and are comfortable working across both backend and frontend frameworks.

• DevOps Mindset: You’re passionate about automation, developer productivity, and modern release engineering.

• Leadership & Collaboration: You inspire others, lead by example, and thrive in cross-functional teams. You help teams adopt new tools and best practices with empathy and conviction.

• Communication: You’re able to translate complex technical concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences, and you enjoy mentoring and knowledge sharing.

Continuous Learner: You’re always on the lookout for new technologies and better ways of working, and you love spreading that energy to those around you.
