Job description

TL;DR We are seeking a Platform Engineer to enhance and scale Lovable's developer experience. In this role, you will be responsible for critical components of our stack, ensuring our engineering workflows are faster, smoother, and more Lovable.

Why Lovable?

Lovable is the software creation platform that gives people the power to act on the problems closest to them. For decades, turning an idea into software required so much capital, technical fluency, and time that many ideas never came to life. Lovable is the counterargument: a platform for all people with ideas, ambition, and problems worth solving. From solopreneurs to small business owners to teams at companies like Adidas and Zendesk, people have built over 60 million projects on Lovable since its launch in November 2024. And we’re just getting started.

We’re building a generational company from Stockholm, with growing teams in London, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We look for people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.

Lovable is one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies and has been recognized on the Forbes AI 50 and CNBC Disruptor 50, reflecting our momentum as one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI companies and one of the most ambitious places to build in this next era of software.

What we’re looking for

• You have strong programming skills and a track record of improving developer velocity and system reliability.

• 7+ years of experience working in a platform team supporting developer experience (o11y, CI/CD, application frameworks, productivity tooling, etc).

• You’ve written code and tools to support growing engineering orgs in scale-ups.

• You have experience with Docker, Kubernetes and modern infrastructure practices.

• You’re a problem-solver who thrives on challenges and ships high-leverage systems fast.

• You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and solving problems as they arise.

• You care about security, stability, and speed and know when to make trade-offs between them.

• You’re based in Stockholm or ready to relocate - this is an on-site, 5-days-a-week role.

What you’ll do

In one sentence: Own and scale the developer experience at Lovable, making our engineering teams the most productive in the world.

• Bring order and structure to our code base.

• Integrate or build application frameworks to support a growing engineering organization and code footprint

• Own and develop our observability stack, from code instrumentation through ingestion to presentation.

• Integrating tools for AI driven development.

• Identify and drive reliability improvement efforts across all engineering teams.

Our tech stack

We're building with tools that both humans and AI love. Lovable platform engineers are capable of working across the whole stack. Examples of tech in our stack include:

• Frontend: React and Typescript.

• Backend: Golang and Rust.

• Cloud: Cloudflare, GCP, AWS.

• Data: Clickhouse, Firestore, Spanner, BigQuery.

• DevOps Tooling: CI/CD pipelines, OTEL, Grafana, kubernetes, terraform.

• Local Tooling: Nix, DevEnv.

And always on the lookout for what's next!
