The platform is Kubernetes on AWS with a service mesh for zero-trust networking, and provides the runtime, identity, AI-gateway, cost-governance and audit layers that let AI workloads operate safely against customer Salesforce data. You will work across the stack, from the Helm charts and Terraform that provision infrastructure, to the services that make up the platform's authentication and gateway layers, to the CI/CD pipelines and tooling that application teams rely on. Application teams are your primary users; you will help them ship features safely and efficiently. You will deliver small to medium platform changes with general direction from more senior colleagues. You will work alongside peers of different competencies, contribute to reviews and retros, and share on-call responsibility for the platform. WHAT YOU WILL DO IN THIS ROLE * Contribute to the complete development cycle of platform changes: Helm charts, infrastructure-as-code, services, CI/CD jobs and supporting tooling. * Add functionality to the platform through new code, configuration and infrastructure, or by changing what already exists. * Write and maintain automated tests. Perform manual verification of changes in lower environments. * Identify bugs and fix them. Address feedback from code reviews. * Monitor platform components and participate in incident response and disaster-recovery exercises with support from senior colleagues. * Demonstrate completed work to the team and the wider product group. * Keep up with changes to the team's tech stack and to tools and techniques used by the team. ## Related Videos - [Program your infrastructure with CDK and TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/144-program-your-infrastructure-with-cdk-and-typescript) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Get started with securing your cloud-native Java microservices applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/123-get-started-with-securing-your-cloud-native-java-microservices-applications) - [GitOps for the people](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/815-gitops-for-the-people) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [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) - [Top Must-Visit Developer Conferences in the US in 2026](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/679-top-must-visit-developer-conferences-in-the-us-in-2026)
