To democratize the cloud for every engineer.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of software engineering experience
- Strong background in software, DevOps, or platform engineering
- Experience in internal tooling or build/release engineering for documentation sites or similar
- Hands-on experience with static site generators (Hugo or familiarity with similar tools)
- Experience with Typescript and Node.js
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Docs Infrastructure Engineer who is excited to deliver a world-class documentation experience to Pulumi’s global community of cloud engineers
- In this role, you will work on the team that owns and improves the infrastructure behind Pulumi’s documentation website (pulumi.com/docs) —the frontpage to our product that serves as a critical resource for our users
- For Pulumi, since our audience is developers, our documentation is our marketing and improvements have a significant impact on our business
- You will work on Pulumi’s Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Cloud team, on the team that owns documentation (github.com/pulumi/docs) and examples (github.com/pulumi/examples), as well as integrating with our Registry and Pulumi Cloud IaC projects
- Improve documentation tooling and workflows: Innovate on local development setups, Markdown/MDX rendering, and search functionality
- Own, maintain and enhance Pulumi's documentation and example code infrastructure
- Optimize multi-language documentation generation processes
- Manage build systems, templates, and assets: Upgrade and configure tools to optimize site performance and page load times
- Own the docs CI/CD pipeline: Oversee automated build, test, and deployment processes for documentation for the growing codebase
- Enhance our search indexing of documentation and registry to improve documentation discoverability
- Ensure documentation changes go live smoothly using Pulumi’s infrastructure-as-code deployments
- Implement automated previews, link checkers, and end-to-end tests (e.g. , via Cypress)
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.
