Meaningful influence over platform evolution

Real technical depth across distributed systems

Not a maintenance role

Join a high-calibre engineering team building secure, large-scale backend infrastructure for software distribution, tackling distributed systems, performance, resilience and observability challenges with real ownership and influence.

Overview

This role is focused on building the infrastructure that modern software depends on.

You will help create a platform companies use to securely manage, govern and distribute the software packages, containers and dependencies flowing through their organisation. The platform sits directly in the path between developers writing code and software reaching production.

This is an opportunity to work on genuinely difficult engineering problems with meaningful influence over how the platform evolves.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design distributed systems that remain reliable under serious scale
• Move and serve huge volumes of software artifacts globally
• Build secure, multi-tenant backend platforms
• Improve performance, resilience and observability across complex systems
• Make sensible architectural decisions where there is no obvious playbook
• Balance engineering quality, customer impact and the realities of a fast-growing product
• Take ownership beyond the code you personally write

What You'll Need to Succeed

They are looking for strong backend engineers rather than one rigid profile.

You may come from backgrounds such as:

• Platform engineering
• Developer tooling
• Cloud infrastructure
• Security products
• Databases
• Distributed systems
• High-scale SaaS

The key traits are:

• Enjoy understanding how systems really work
• Comfortable debugging difficult problems
• Strong sense of ownership
