Descripción de la vacante

Deel is the all-in-one payroll and HR platform for global teams. This role drives the control plane powering hundreds of developer sandboxes, building backend tooling to automate sandbox creation, orchestration, and lifecycle management, and enabling a scalable, observable platform.

You’ll collaborate with global engineering teams, tackle cost optimization, and learn the infra landscape to level up the DevEx while delivering production-like environments at scale.

Formación

• 10+ years of experience in Software Engineering.
• Strong BE engineering skills: API design, Postgres, Kafka/Nats.
• Node.js/Go/Python background.
• Experience with AWS/GCP/Azure.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Helm charts and GitOps as a user.
• Excellent system design and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities across multiple teams.
• Hands‑on mindset, comfortable working in complex and evolving environments.

Responsabilidades

• Design, build, and maintain the control plane that powers hundreds of dynamic developer sandboxes.
• Develop backend tooling and services that automate sandbox creation, orchestration, and lifecycle management.
• Productize and provide infra as a platform including DBs, caches, object storage and queueing systems.
• Scale & tune the cluster to provide capacity for volatile workloads. You’ll become hands on with Karpenter/VPA/KEDA policies, right-sizing, pod density, bin-packing, and scheduling strategies for diverse, bursty workloads.
• Constantly track and optimize costs to be efficient. At our k8s scale all tiny decisions matter, from compute to storage and data transfer
• Own the networking setup to mimic what we have in Production but pair it with greater DevEx at scale of hundreds of sandboxes - traffic routing and interception, ingress tuning, serving assets
• Implement and evolve observability within sandboxes
• Partner with Sandboxes SRE team to ensure uptime and reliability of hundreds of sandboxes daily
• Work with Deel engineering to improve their DevEx and productize day to day needs into self-service platform
• This role does not require deep infra knowledge but it’s expected from you to learn it here and catch up with the rest of the team. If you ever thought about switching to infrastructure world – this is your opportunity
• Extra Brownie Points If You…
• Have multi-region and multi-cloud experience
• Have experience building internal platforms or control planes
