Software Engineer

About Us

Platform 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.

This is where you come in.

With our next-generation product, Humanitec Platform Orchestrator v2, successfully launched, we are focused on scaling and evolving our new product line. We're looking for people who want to help us build the future of our product, shaping the roadmap, and defining what Platform Engineering looks like in the years ahead.

About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Software/Product Engineer to help us scale our work to build and scale our category-defining Platform Orchestrator. In this role, you will share ownership of how our products are built and evolve, contributing to our long-term vision and the products that help to realize it.

We Work Across a Modern, Diverse Stack, Including

• Microservices (APIs) written in Go, running on Kubernetes
• Web apps built with React and TypeScript
• A CLI and ancillary tools/services primarily written in Go
• Pervasive unit, integration, and e2e tests written in Go, Robot Framework, Playwright, and more
• Infrastructure automation in Terraform/OpenTofu
• Emerging areas, including chat-based interfaces built on third-party LLMs

To thrive in this role, you must be comfortable with start-up life: shipping constantly, rolling up your sleeves to help debug customer issues, absorbing a frequently evolving roadmap, managing regular uncertainty, and picking up work across our stack. Our focus is on impact and value for our customers. That said, we invest the time to write design documents for our work, review docs and pull requests asynchronously, recognizing that engineers are more productive focused at their desk than on a video call.

Humanitec is an all-remote company. Our small teams work closely to do big things. We value the intersection of humility, drive, and intelligence. In this fully remote role, you'll be given substantial autonomy in your work and consistent, empathetic feedback on your performance. Preferred time zones for this role are UTC-1 to UTC 3.

Qualifications

• Excellent communication & collaboration: You are comfortable working in a fully remote environment, utilizing tools like GitHub, Notion, Slack, Linear, Datadog, your IDE, and more. You prioritize your focus time but are also willing to jump on calls when necessary. You own your work end-to-end, from writing design documents to debugging with customers in production.
• Strong problem-solving and coding skills: You enjoy designing solutions to customer problems, researching use cases, and implementing clean, effective solutions.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure: Whether through on-call rotations or day-to-day observability, you are comfortable understanding and resolving incidents or service degradations.
• Pragmatism: You balance "perfect" with "good enough," making practical decisions as an individual and team member.
• Modern cloud experience: You have built and operated applications on Kubernetes in cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure. Familiarity with Docker, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or OpenTofu), and CI/CD pipelines is essential.
• Bias to action: You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, taking initiative, asking questions, and making pragmatic decisions.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to our core product: Collaborate across our tech stack, primarily in Go, on services that power our platform. While experience with Go is a plus, it is not mandatory.
• Design and refine technical systems: Share ownership of customer use cases and the supporting systems—microservices, interfaces, automated tests—and help ensure they remain scalable, reliable, and elegant as they evolve.
• Collaborate closely across disciplines: Partner with colleagues across teams to explore problems, prototype solutions, and iterate rapidly.
• Improve engineering practices: Advocate for thoughtful abstractions, clean interfaces, and robust testing. Contribute to the continuous evolution of our engineering processes.
