In this role, you will:

• Build and maintain full-stack components of our Internal Developer Portal, including service catalogs, golden paths, and CI/CD templates.
• Design and implement API-first platform services and reusable microservice components.
• Contribute to the creation of a unified control plane that abstracts hybrid cloud complexity and enables seamless application mobility.
• Develop self-service automation workflows that enable developers to provision infrastructure, deploy applications, and monitor services independently.
• Integrate with tools like Backstage, ArgoCD, Terraform, and Kubernetes to deliver a seamless developer experience.
• Write clean, maintainable code and participate in code reviews and architecture discussions.
• Collaborate with platform, security, and application teams to align platform capabilities with developer needs.

• 5 + years of experience with Python, Go, TypeScript, or Java
• 5 + years of experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and working with microservice architectures
• 5 + years of experience in building tools that support cloud-native development and service ownership

Desired Qualifications:

• Familiarity with developer portals (e.g., Backstage, Port, Cortex) and CI/CD pipelines
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, and GitOps tools like ArgoCD or Flux
• Knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, and hybrid cloud platforms (Azure, GCP, or AWS)
• Understanding of observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack)
• A developer-first mindset with a passion for improving the developer experience
• Experience with service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio, LinkedIn)
• Familiarity with API management tools like Kong or Apigee
• Exposure to image management tools like Packer or Image Builder
