To democratize the cloud for every engineer.
Role
Who you are
- Experience in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Pulumi or Terraform
- Strong application development skills in languages like Go, or TypeScript
- Expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Deep knowledge of CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Understanding of observability tools (Cloudwatch, Honeycomb, Sentry)
- Experience with security best practices, including identity management, encryption, and policy enforcement
- Strong problem-solving skills, with a focus on operational excellence and reliability
- Passion for developer experience, infrastructure automation, and improving cloud workflows
What the job involves
- Here at Pulumi, we dogfood our own developer tools
- You will work closely with our engineering teams to enhance our internal platform while providing user feedback on the end developer product, optimize our CI/CD workflows and development processes, and contribute to the broader Pulumi community
- We are looking for an experienced engineer with a background in DevOps to help evolve Pulumi’s cloud infrastructure and deployment automation. You will play a key role in designing, building, and maintaining Pulumi’s internal and external cloud services, ensuring reliability, scalability, and security across multiple cloud platforms
- This role is at the intersection of cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes) and infrastructure automation, empowering developers and organizations to manage their cloud infrastructure with Pulumi
- Design, build, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure using Pulumi and other Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools
- Automate deployment processes for cloud services, ensuring high availability and performance
- Develop CI/CD pipelines to streamline software delivery and improve developer productivity
- Implement observability best practices, including logging, monitoring, and alerting for cloud services
- Optimize cloud costs and performance, ensuring efficient use of AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes
- Collaborate with engineers to improve infrastructure security, compliance, and operational resilience
- Engage with the Pulumi open-source community, sharing best practices and contributing to enhancements in infrastructure automation
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.
