Senior Product Engineer

We are building the future of software delivery

Humanitec is leading the platform engineering revolution. Join our global team and help us change the way engineers design and ship software.

At Humanitec, we value diversity and inclusivity, and strive to create a welcoming and supportive work environment for everyone. We believe that great ideas can come from anyone, and encourage collaboration and open communication across all teams. Learn about our core values and principles.

We are passionate about what we do. We value ambition, ownership, excellence, and celebrating successes, big and small.

Core Values

1. Be smart: We value intelligence and expertise. It's about approaching problems creatively and learning constantly.
2. Be humble: We believe humility is key to success. We value listening, learning from others, transparency, and honesty.
3. Be free: We are a group of free people. Each of us decides to contribute to an overall vision that we cherish to serve other engineering teams.
4. Be resourceful: We do not want to over-engineer processes and we don’t waste resources. Being resource-constrained forces us to find creative solutions.
5. Be relentless: We constantly strive to improve and learn, seeking advice from advisors and industry veterans to understand how to close the gap between where we are and where we want to be.

Creating anything, like a new developer tooling category, is messy. We hire people who thrive in complex environments and can pave their own way out of it.

At Humanitec, I’m not just a member of a team, I’m part of a community that values collaboration, learning, and growth. Every day, I’m challenged to push beyond my limits and achieve new levels of excellence, and I couldn’t ask for a more supportive and inspiring workplace.

Department About Us

Platform Engineering is reshaping how enterprises build and run their cloud-native setups, and Humanitec is leading this transformation. Our mission is to help teams build Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) that unlock true developer self-service.

Through our community-driven initiatives, like platformengineering.org and PlatformCon, we are not just following the trend, but defining it. With a growing list of enterprise customers and skyrocketing IDP adoption, we are expanding our team.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Product Engineer to help us scale our work to build and scale our category-defining Platform Orchestrator. As a Product Engineer, you will share ownership of how our products are built and evolve, contributing to both our short-term deliverables and long-term vision.

We work across a modern, diverse stack, including:

1. Tests written in Go, Robot Framework, and more
2. Web apps and VSCode extensions built with React and TypeScript
3. Emerging areas, including chat-based interfaces built on third-party LLMs

To thrive in this role, you must be comfortable with start-up life: shipping constantly, rolling up your sleeves to help debug customer issues, working on and contributing to a frequently evolving roadmap, and picking up work across our stack, with a focus on impact.

Humanitec is an all-remote company. Our small teams work closely to do big things. This is a fully remote position. Preferred time zones for this role are UTC-1 to UTC+3.

What You Will Bring:

1. Excellent communication & collaboration: You are comfortable working in a fully remote environment, working across GitHub, Notion, Slack, Jira, and more. You prioritize and protect your focus time, but don't hesitate to jump on a call when a situation demands it.
2. Strong problem-solving and coding skills: You value designing solutions to customer problems – from researching and defining use cases, to writing design documents, to implementing clean solutions that address them.
3. Hands-on experience with infrastructure: whether you’ve been part of an on-call rotation or just working day-to-day observability tools, you are comfortable rolling up your sleeves to understand the factors at play in an incident or service degradation.
4. Pragmatism: You are comfortable balancing “perfect” with “good enough,” as an individual and as part of a team.
5. Modern cloud experience: You have built and run apps on Kubernetes on cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure. You are familiar with Docker, IaC (Terraform or OpenTofu), and modern CI/CD pipelines.
6. Bias to action: You thrive in fast-paced, often ambiguous environments. You take initiative, use pragmatism when making decisions, and value progress over perfection.

What You Will Do:

1. Contribute to our core product: Engineering at Humanitec is a team sport. You’ll work across our stack - primarily in Go - on services that power our applications. (Experience working in Go is a plus, but not required.)
2. Design and refine technical systems: You will share ownership of customer use cases and the systems that power them – microservices, customer interfaces, automated tests – and help shape them to remain scalable, reliable, and elegant as they evolve.
3. Collaborate closely across disciplines: You will partner with colleagues across the organization to explore problems, prototype ideas, and iterate quickly.
4. Improve how we build: We value thoughtful abstractions, clean interfaces, and solid testing. You will help to continuously evolve our engineering practices.

If this sounds like a fit, we would love to hear from you!
