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 or GitHub Apps. You must demonstrate strong software design judgment to create opinionated abstractions that allow engineering teams to build and ship code efficiently while maintaining enterprise-grade SLAs and security governance.

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 establish monitoring and alerting 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 and document system interfaces, boundaries, and failure modes.

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 or cluster 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.
