Senior Software Engineer

About UsPlatform 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 RoleWe 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 KubernetesTests written in Go, Robot Framework, and moreWeb apps and VSCode extensions built with React and TypeScriptCLI written in GoEmerging areas, including chat-based interfaces built on third-party LLMsTo 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: You are comfortable working in a fully remote environment, working across GitHub, Notion, Slack, Jira, and more. You prioritize and protect your focus time, but don't hesitate to jump on a call when a situation demands it. You don’t offload communication or coordination to product/project managers – you own our work end-to-end.Strong problem-solving and coding skills: You value designing solutions to customer problems – from researching and defining use cases, to writing design documents, to implementing clean solutions that address them.Hands-on experience with infrastructure: whether you’ve been part of an on-call rotation or just working day-to-day observability tools, you are comfortable rolling up your sleeves to understand the factors at play in an incident or service degradation.Pragmatism: You are comfortable balancing “perfect” with “good enough,” as an individual and as part of a team.Modern cloud experience: You have built and run apps on Kubernetes on cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure. You are familiar with Docker, IaC (Terraform or OpenTofu), and modern CI/CD pipelines.Bias to action: You thrive in fast-paced, often ambiguous environments. You take initiative, use pragmatism when making decisions, and value progress over perfection.What You Will Do:Contribute to our core product: Engineering at Humanitec is a team sport. You’ll work across our stack - primarily in Go - on services that power our applications. (Experience working in Go is a plus, but not required.)Design and refine technical systems: You will share ownership of customer use cases and the systems that power them – microservices, customer interfaces, automated tests – and help shape them to remain scalable, reliable, and elegant as they evolve.Collaborate closely across disciplines: You will partner with colleagues across the organization to explore problems, prototype ideas, and iterate quickly.Improve how we build: We value thoughtful abstractions, clean interfaces, and solid testing. You will help to continuously evolve our engineering pratices.If this sounds like a fit, we would love to hear from you!Have questions before applying? Reach out to us at [email protected]
