TL;DR · Platform Software Engineer II

The Platform Software Engineer II joins the Developer Acceleration team to build internal infrastructure primitives into fast, self-serve paths for engineers. You will develop software layers for deployment, provisioning, and testing, while creating frameworks and guardrails for safely deploying internal AI agents. This role involves defining infrastructure-as-a-service primitives, building monitoring and alerting systems, and improving the observability and ergonomics of developer tools. You will work with a stack including Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, and Kubernetes. The position requires experience building developer tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and internal CLIs, as well as familiarity with GitHub Apps and the Model Context Protocol. You will solve the technical problem of abstracting complex infrastructure into opinionated, safe, and scalable software abstractions for internal engineering teams.

What you'll do

  • Convert infrastructure primitives like deployment, provisioning, and testing into simple, self-serve paths for engineers.
  • Build frameworks and guardrails to allow engineering teams to deploy internal AI agents safely.
  • Define infrastructure-as-a-service primitives and build monitoring and alerting systems to meet enterprise-grade SLAs.
  • Provide opinionated abstractions and tooling to improve the observability and ergonomics of platform primitives.
  • Help shape and establish the formal on-call rotation for the Developer Acceleration team.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to design software layers and interfaces for internal developer tools.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience building developer tooling, CI/CD pipelines, or similar software.
  • Experience building the software layer on top of infrastructure rather than performing deep systems administration.
  • Proficiency with Kubernetes as a platform to build on top of and deploy to.
  • Experience building or exploring developer platform integrations such as GitHub Apps, internal CLIs, or MCP.
  • Ability to use AI tools in a professional workflow with a clear point of view on their utility.
  • Strong skills in systems thinking, including interfaces, boundaries, edge cases, and failure modes.
  • Ability to collaborate and document effectively across global, remote teams.
