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.
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 Kubernetes
Tests written in Go, Robot Framework, and more
Web apps and VSCode extensions built with React and TypeScript
CLI written in Go
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, 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.
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!
