The role

The company is hiring a Staff Backend Engineer for its Developer Experience group, which serves six globally distributed teams. The role finds and removes friction in engineering workflows, with Kubernetes-based developer platform work in Go and Ruby. The company roles are remote, with some location limits.

What you will do

  • Split time between hands-on coding in Ruby and Go and designing scalable solutions
  • Build platform capabilities that help teams deploy and operate services on Kubernetes
  • Define reusable service templates, deployment workflows and operational guardrails
  • Build development, CI and test environments that mirror production Kubernetes behavior
  • Make environment bring-up and teardown deterministic and reproducible
  • Partner with infrastructure and service teams on rollout safety and observability

What they ask for

  • Deep experience building developer tooling, DevEx platforms, testing frameworks or CI/CD systems at scale
  • Strong hands-on Go for production services, CLI tools or platform tooling
  • Practical Kubernetes experience running production workloads
  • Helm-based release management and multi-cluster context handling
  • Experience integrating third-party operators such as CloudNativePG and cert-manager
  • Ruby experience is valuable
