Senior Software Engineer

📋 Description

• • Join Humanitec, a pioneering force in the Platform Engineering revolution, and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of how enterprise companies manage their cloud infrastructure. Our mission is to empower platform engineering teams to build Internal Developer Platforms that deliver true developer self-service, and as a Senior Software Engineer, you will be instrumental in achieving this.
• • With our next-generation Platform Orchestrator successfully launched, we are entering a critical phase of scaling our innovative product line. This is your opportunity to contribute directly to the evolution of our product, influencing the roadmap and defining the trajectory of Platform Engineering for years to come.
• • As a Senior Product Engineer, you will share significant ownership of our product's development and evolution. You will be a key contributor to both our immediate deliverables and our long-term strategic vision, helping to bring our ambitious product goals to life.
• • Our technology stack is modern and diverse, featuring Go, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like OpenTofu and Terraform, TypeScript, React, Kubernetes, and Robot Framework. We embrace cutting-edge development practices and encourage the use of generative AI tools to enhance productivity across various tasks, including debugging, test writing, code reviews, and even new product development.
• • This role demands comfort with the dynamic and fast-paced nature of a startup environment. You will be expected to ship and iterate rapidly, dive deep to understand and resolve customer issues, experiment with AI technologies, contribute to a constantly evolving roadmap, and be adaptable enough to work across our entire stack.
• • Our core philosophy centers on making a tangible impact and delivering exceptional value to our customers. We foster a culture that values investing time in creating comprehensive design documents, conducting asynchronous reviews of documentation and pull requests, and recognizing that focused, individual work often yields the highest productivity, rather than relying solely on video calls.
• • Humanitec operates as an all-remote company, fostering a collaborative environment where team members work closely together to achieve ambitious goals. We deeply value a blend of humility, drive, and intelligence in our team members.
• • In this fully remote position, you will be granted substantial autonomy over your work, coupled with consistent and empathetic feedback to support your professional growth. We prefer candidates located within UTC-1 to UTC+3 time zones to facilitate seamless collaboration.
• • Your responsibilities will include contributing significantly to our core product, primarily using Go, on services that underpin our applications. While experience with both Go and TypeScript is advantageous, it is not a mandatory requirement.
• • You will be instrumental in designing and refining our technical systems, sharing ownership of customer use cases and the underlying microservices, customer interfaces, and automated tests. Your efforts will ensure these systems remain scalable, reliable, and elegant as they evolve.
• • Close collaboration across disciplines is essential. You will partner with colleagues throughout the organization to explore complex problems, prototype innovative ideas, and iterate quickly to deliver solutions.
• • You will play a crucial role in improving our internal engineering practices. We champion thoughtful abstractions, clean interfaces, and robust testing methodologies, and your contributions will help us continuously refine and enhance these standards.
• • Embrace the opportunity to work on a category-defining product that is at the forefront of cloud infrastructure management and developer self-service. Your work will directly impact how leading enterprises build and deploy their applications.
• • Engage in the full software development lifecycle, from conceptualization and design to implementation, testing, and deployment, ensuring high-quality and robust solutions.
• • Actively participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback to peers and receiving it in turn, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
• • Contribute to the technical documentation of the product, ensuring clarity and comprehensiveness for both internal teams and external users.
• • Stay abreast of the latest trends and technologies in cloud computing, Platform Engineering, and software development, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to the team.
• • Help mentor and guide more junior engineers, sharing your expertise and fostering a collaborative and supportive team environment.
• • Take ownership of features and projects, driving them to successful completion with a focus on quality, performance, and customer satisfaction.
• • Participate in incident response and post-mortem analysis, contributing to the resilience and reliability of our platform.
• • Contribute to the strategic planning and roadmap discussions, influencing the future direction of Humanitec's product offerings.
