Principal Ecosystem Engineer

At Pulumi, we’re building the Cloud Engineering Platform enabling the future of developer-first infrastructure.

We employ a unique philosophy toward achieving this goal:

• We succeed and fail as a team
• An inclusive environment bubbles the best ideas to the top
• Our customers sit at the center of every decision
• We achieve the best results through openness and honesty, even when uncomfortable
• Work smart, but bias for action and results
• Our natural curiosity for technology keeps us always learning
• Think big, dream, and define the future of engineering in the cloud

• Designing, debugging, and implementing diff algorithms with accompanying fuzz/property tests.
• Writing automation to update our 100+ bridged terraform providers.
