Job Description

We build the internal developer portal that improves how engineers discover, use, and interact with platform capabilities.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and evolve our Internal Developer Platform (IDP) with a strong focus on developer experience and productivity

• Develop and extend our Backstage-based developer portal as the central interface for engineering teams

• Build and maintain integrations and plugins that connect platform services into a seamless self-service experience

• Design and implement scalable, developer-facing features using TypeScript and React—focusing on usability, workflows, and real engineering needs

• Work closely with platform and infrastructure teams to expose capabilities through the portal

• Improve developer workflows across service creation, deployment, observability, and operations

• Contribute to shaping the overall developer experience, not just UI—thinking in terms of systems, workflows, and adoption

• Explore opportunities to introduce automation and AI-driven features to improve developer productivity

What You’ll Need

• 1–4 years of software engineering experience, ideally working on developer platforms, internal tools, or engineering productivity

• Experience building or contributing to internal developer portals, platform tooling, or developer-facing systems (not just user-facing apps)

• Strong experience with TypeScript and React, applied to complex, data-driven applications

• Understanding of software development lifecycle, CI/CD, and how developers build and operate services

• Ability to think beyond frontend—connecting UI to backend services, workflows, and real-world engineering use cases

Nice to Have

• Experience with Backstage or similar developer portal frameworks

• Experience building developer tools such as CLIs, SDKs, or automation workflows

• Familiarity with AI/LLM-based tools, agents, or developer productivity enhancements

• Exposure to cloud platforms, infrastructure, or platform engineering practices
