Role

Who you are

This is the right opportunity for a person with 3–5 years in a software engineering or developer experience (DevEx) role, experience in open-source developer tooling, strong background in API design and build as well as a strong background in cloud infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code workflows
4+ years of professional experience in software engineering roles, ideally in fast-paced or product-focused environments
Strong hands-on experience with IaC tools such as AWS CDK, Terraform, or Pulumi
Deep experience with CI/CD systems such as GitLab, GitHub Actions, AWS CodeBuild, CircleCI, Bitbucket, or Jenkins
Proficiency with container technologies like Docker or Podman, and orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes
Experience working with infrastructure/platform-level services on at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP), ideally in a DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE capacity
Proficiency in multiple programming languages, particularly Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Go
Experience collaborating with external users or customers—gathering feedback, capturing requirements, or providing technical support—is a strong plus

What the job involves

Keep tools and integrations (e.g., CLI modules, Terraform, AWS CLI, AWS CDK, SAM CLI) up-to-date with the latest frameworks and dependencies
Address bugs, compatibility issues, and technical debt across multiple repositories
Maintain operational stability through automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and setting up analytics, monitoring, and alerting
Deliver seamless integration experiences with IDEs (e.g., VS Code) and CI systems (e.g., CircleCI)
Improve and expand technical documentation for tool usage, integration processes, and troubleshooting
Build new integrations with emerging tools and frameworks to support modern cloud development workflows
Collaborate with other open-source projects and organizations to extend LocalStack’s reach
Implement telemetry and analytics to measure usage and performance of integrations
Drive adoption of LocalStack through improved tooling and integrations
Incorporate community feedback into the product roadmap
Simplify contribution processes by enhancing onboarding materials and automating repetitive contributor workflows

Our take

Developers can face high costs and delays with cloud-based testing (as centralised cloud environments are complex and expensive to maintain), which slows down development. This means that solutions to reduce these challenges are crucial for improving productivity.

LocalStack is solving this issue by providing a virtual environment that lets developers run a complete AWS setup on their laptops, cutting deployment times from 28 minutes to 24 seconds. It supports over 100 AWS services, reducing cloud costs and streamlining testing.

In an exciting move, the company raised substantial funding which will go towards expanding into the US and further developing its platform. With plans to offer new features like chaos engineering, LocalStack is ready to transform cloud development across multiple platforms.
