Preferred qualifications * Experience in a consumer facing industry * Experience building or operating an Internal Developer Platform, developer portal, service catalog, or similar developer tooling. * Experience with security and compliance requirements such as SOC 2 or PCI-DSS. ## Description As a Senior Software Engineer focused on Developer Experience, you'll help make it fast and easy for WeTravel engineers to build, test, deploy, and operate software. You'll work on the internal platform and tooling used by our product engineering teams: CI/CD, developer environments, service tooling, deployment workflows, observability, and self-service infrastructure. Our goal is to remove unnecessary complexity from everyday development and provide paved roads that let engineers ship confidently without needing to understand every detail of the underlying infrastructure. You'll be part of the Platform team, so this isn't a tooling-only role. You'll also contribute to our AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure, reliability, and operational improvements. But your primary customers are our engineers, and your primary focus will be making their development experience better. What You'll do day-to-day * Developer Experience & Internal Tooling: Build and improve the tools and workflows engineers use every day. Identify friction in the development lifecycle and turn it into practical tooling, automation, and platform improvements. * CI/CD & Developer Environments: Make it fast and reliable to build, test, and deploy software. Improve CI/CD pipelines, local development environments, test environments, and the path from writing code to running it in production. * Self-Service & Paved Roads: Build reusable workflows, service templates, and platform capabilities that allow product teams to solve common problems without depending on the Platform team. Reduce cognitive load while keeping the underlying systems flexible. * Reliability & Observability: Help engineers understand and operate their services in production. Improve observability, incident response, SLIs/SLOs, and the tooling that makes production issues easier to detect, debug, and resolve. * Infrastructure & Cloud: Contribute to the AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform foundations behind our platform. Improve scalability, security, cost efficiency, and multi-region readiness while keeping infrastructure easy for product engineers to consume. How we work * We're focused on the impact. We don't subscribe to any one framework or execution ideology, and we adapt based on what's impactful. * We're using the latest hardware and constantly on the look out for better tools & ways to work * Stack: We're using React/ReactNative/TypeScript + Ruby on Rails, Go and Python Microservices on Kubernetes. We also use and love MongoDB, MySQL, Postgres, Snowflake and we're working with the major LLM providers. ## Related Videos - [40 Minutes to Build a Serverless COVID-19 REST and GraphQL APIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/208-40-minutes-to-build-a-serverless-covid-19-rest-and-graphql-apis) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [NoSQL Data Modeling for Front-end Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/297-nosql-data-modeling-for-front-end-developers) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [The Best Software Developer Blogs to Read](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/156-the-best-software-developer-blogs-to-read) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
