  • Enable our SDK and providers to enable Pulumi Cloud functionality in multiple languages (currently Typescript/Javascript, Golang, Python, C#, and Java).
  • Participate in code and design reviews and mentor other developers.  

We’re Looking For Someone:

  • 8+ years as a highly productive software engineer.
  • Consistent ability to tackle ambiguity and drive clarity.
  • Expert at modern cloud-based systems architecture and distributed systems.
  • Systematic problem-solving approach, first principles, critical thinking skills, good design sensibilities.

  • Still loves to code and is a prolific contributor while still multiplying the efforts of the team.
