Company mission
To democratize the cloud for every engineer.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for experienced software engineers that are excited to bring Pulumi’s cloud programming model to the world
- Familiar with Go and/or have an interest in learning new programming languages
- Have an understanding of the cloud infrastructure ecosystem (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes)
- Care about delivering value for customers and users
- Have experience with deployment orchestration and infrastructure-as-code tools
- Have a strong interest in building the next generation of developer tools that help build real world solutions
- Have 5+ years of professional software development experience
What the job involves
- You will be a part of realizing a vision where every developer can harness the power of the cloud
- The Ecosystem team works at the intersection between cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes) and developer platforms (programming languages, APIs, and application lifecycle), helping to define the future of what it means to program the cloud
- In this team you will be working on building and expanding the Pulumi ecosystem. This includes (but is not limited to!) building Pulumi providers, creating higher level components for the Pulumi ecosystem, and helping to enable the Pulumi community to build their own providers, components and integrations
- Expect to be challenged, learn, and collaborate with a world class team and our amazing developer community
- Expand the Pulumi ecosystem by building providers and higher level libraries that interact with the larger cloud and DevOps tooling ecosystem
- Interact with a distributed team and the Pulumi open source community to determine roadmaps, scope features, and improve documentation
- Lead projects from concept to completion that improve the Developer experience and leverage for users of Pulumi providers and components
- Evolving the existing platform by guiding standards, and bringing a fresh perspective for improvements
- Help mentor and foster good development practices both within the team and the wider Pulumi community
- Work from home with global travel 2 to 4 weeks a year for internal and external events
Our take
The Infrastructure-as-code space is new and growing, thanks to the increasing complexity of cloud services, and their increasing adoption by developers and teams who would rather not manage them. Pulumi works to bring together infrastructure, developer, and security teams to help build and operate these cloud applications, better.
The service is compatible with all clouds and all major programming languages, meaning it’s casting its net appropriately wide to shore itself up against unpredictable new developments in the market. This breadth of scope saw Pulumi win 10x growth in adoption over 2019 alone, and the company has since expanded out into what it hopes will provide a more comprehensive cloud engineering platform. This means the addition of capabilities like governance and compliance features, testing support, and policy as code - all shoring up its already strong position in the space.
Also playing firmly in Pulumi’s favor is that it’s been built as cloud-native from the ground up, meaning that it has a head start on earlier infrastructure-as-code businesses that needed to pivot to accommodate new developments like serverless and multi-cloud tech. Plus, its multi-language compatibility means that silos don’t form so readily as they do with rival HashiCorp’s Terraform, which requires that developers learn a proprietary language.
