Bonus points: * Experience building "platform primitives" (self-service workflows, templates, golden paths, internal portals/CLIs, policy/guardrails). * Familiarity with networking concepts (routing, firewalls, VPNs). * Experience with SQL/NoSQL/big data systems. * Open-source contributions or maintaining your own projects. * B.S. in a computer-related field. ## Description We're looking for a strong software engineer to join Platform Engineering and help us build and maintain a code-first Internal Developer Platform. Our platform supports infrastructure used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide and delivers petabytes of content daily-so the systems you build will have real, visible impact at global scale. This is a role for someone who wants to build products for engineers: APIs, tools, automation, libraries, and workflows that make the "right way" the easiest way. As a Platform Engineer, you will: * Build developer platforms as products: design, implement, and maintain internal services, tools, and workflows that enable engineering teams to deliver software safely and consistently. * Take a code-first approach to infrastructure: develop and evolve infrastructure automation and deployment systems (think: CI/CD building blocks, deployment orchestration, environment provisioning, platform APIs/CLIs). * Build and operate cloud and Kubernetes platform capabilities with an emphasis on automation, repeatability, and guardrails * Measure and improve reliability through instrumentation, observability, and platform-level standards. * Partner with engineering teams to understand friction points, then turn those needs into reusable platform capabilities. * Participate in planning, code reviews, architectural discussions, and mentorship in a collaborative, high-autonomy team. * Join an occasional after-hours support rotation (approximately once every 7 weeks). ## Related Videos - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [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) - [Creating a routing app with Google Maps API from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/831-creating-a-routing-app-with-google-maps-api-from-scratch) - [The internal developer platform and golden paths: Scaffolding for cloud-native development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1039-the-internal-developer-platform-and-golden-paths-scaffolding-for-cloud-native-development) - [NoSQL Data Modeling for Front-end Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/297-nosql-data-modeling-for-front-end-developers) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [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) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
