About Us

Platform Engineering is reshaping how enterprises build and run their cloud-native setups, and Humanitec is leading this transformation. Our mission is to help teams build Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) that unlock true developer self-service.

Through our community-driven initiatives, like platformengineering.org and PlatformCon, we are not just following the trend, but defining it. With a growing list of enterprise customers and skyrocketing IDP adoption, we are expanding our team. This is where you come in.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Product/Software Engineer to help us scale our work to build and scale our category-defining Platform Orchestrator. As an Engineer, you will share ownership of how our products are built and evolve, contributing to both our short-term deliverables and long-term vision.

We work across a modern, diverse stack, including:

• Microservices (APIs): Written in Go, running on Kubernetes
• Tests: Written in Go, Robot Framework, and more
• Web apps and VSCode extensions: Built with React and TypeScript
• CLI: Written in Go
• Emerging areas: Including chat-based interfaces built on third-party LLMs

To thrive in this role, you must be comfortable with start-up life: shipping constantly, rolling up your sleeves to help debug customer issues, working on and contributing to a frequently evolving roadmap, and picking up work across our stack, with a focus on impact.

Humanitec is an all-remote company. Our small teams work closely to do big things. This is a fully remote position. Preferred time zones for this role are UTC-1 to UTC+3.

What You Will Bring

• Excellent communication & collaboration:
  • Comfortable working in a fully remote environment.
  • Proficient with tools like GitHub, Notion, Slack, Jira, and more.
  • Prioritize and protect focus time, but willing to jump on calls when needed.
  • Own work end-to-end, not offloading communication or coordination to product/project managers.
• Strong problem-solving and coding skills:
  • Value designing solutions to customer problems, from research and definition to implementation.
  • Write clean solutions that address customer needs.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure:
  • Comfortable with on-call rotations or working with observability tools.
  • Willing to debug incidents or service degradations.
• Pragmatism:
  • Comfortable balancing "perfect" with "good enough."
• Modern cloud experience:
  • Experience building and running apps on Kubernetes on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Familiarity with Docker, IaC (Terraform or OpenTofu), and modern CI/CD pipelines.
• Bias to action:
  • Thrive in fast-paced, often ambiguous environments.
  • Take initiative and use pragmatism in decision-making.
  • Value progress over perfection.

What You Will Do

• Contribute to our core product:
  • Work across our stack, primarily in Go, on services powering our applications.
  • (Experience working in Go is a plus, but not required.)
• Design and refine technical systems:
  • Share ownership of customer use cases and their supporting systems (microservices, interfaces, tests).
  • Shape systems to remain scalable, reliable, and elegant as they evolve.
• Collaborate closely across disciplines:
  • Partner with colleagues to explore problems, prototype ideas, and iterate quickly.
• Improve how we build:
  • Contribute to thoughtful abstractions, clean interfaces, and solid testing.
  • Help to continuously evolve our engineering practices.
