Senior Product Engineer

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 and PlatformCon, we are not just following trends but defining them. With a growing list of enterprise customers and skyrocketing IDP adoption, we are expanding our team.

This is where you come in.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Product Engineer to help us scale our work in building and expanding our category-defining Platform Orchestrator. As a Product 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:

• Tests written in Go, Robot Framework, and more
• Web apps and VSCode extensions built with React and TypeScript
• Emerging areas including chat-based interfaces built on third-party LLMs

To thrive in this role, you must be comfortable with startup life: shipping constantly, rolling up your sleeves to 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 accomplish 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 skills: Comfortable working remotely across tools like GitHub, Notion, Slack, Jira. You prioritize focus time but can jump on a call when needed. You own our work end-to-end, not just relying on product managers.
• Strong problem-solving and coding skills: You value designing solutions from researching use cases to writing design docs and implementing clean, effective solutions.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure: Whether you've been on an on-call rotation or work with observability tools, you're comfortable understanding factors behind incidents or service degradations.
• Pragmatism: You balance perfection with good enough, both individually and in a team.
• Modern cloud experience: You have built and operated apps on Kubernetes on cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure. Familiarity with Docker, IaC (Terraform or OpenTofu), and modern CI/CD pipelines is expected.
• Bias to action: You thrive in fast-paced, often ambiguous environments. You take initiative, make pragmatic decisions, and value progress over perfection.

What You Will Do :

• Contribute to our core product: Work primarily in Go on services that power our applications. Experience with Go is a plus but not required.
• Design and refine technical systems: Share ownership of customer use cases and the systems that support them, including microservices, customer interfaces, automated tests, ensuring scalability, reliability, and elegance as they evolve.
• Collaborate closely across disciplines: Partner with colleagues across the organization to explore problems, prototype ideas, and iterate quickly.
• Improve our engineering practices: Help evolve our practices with thoughtful abstractions, clean interfaces, and solid testing.

If this sounds like a fit, we would love to hear from you!
