- Drive software development activities to meet schedules and timelines
- Thrives to ensure code quality is high with supporting unit test and automation, and timely delivery
- Research problems discovered by quality assurance or product support with a strong sense of ownership and develop solutions to address the problems
- Stay abreast of emerging technologies and how they can be applied to client
- Enable change, help accelerate innovation
- Demonstrating experience with taking intelligent risks and leveraging a 'test and learn' mentality
- Committed to a spirit of authentic partnership - to colleagues both internal and external to the organization
- Conduct unit testing and integration testing for functionality
- Ensure that software standards, non-functional requirements and quality targets are met
Required Experience:
- Backstage development experience
- Python, Node, Typescript experience
Core Skills & Experience (Must?Have)
Backstage Backend Engineering
- Strong hands?on experience building and extending Backstage backend services, including plugins and platform integrations.
- Proven ability to implement "developer platform" capabilities in Backstage (e.g., scaffolding flows, integrations to enterprise systems, automation of onboarding steps).
- Comfort working in a product?like platform where the output is internal developer experience, not just an API.
Node.js + TypeScript (Primary)
- roduction-grade Node.js engineering (prefer TypeScript), including:
- API design, middleware patterns, authentication/authorization integration
- Observability, logging, performance tuning, and reliability practices
- Experience operating within an ecosystem of plugin modules and shared libraries (ideal for Backstage plugin development patterns).
Python (Secondary but Important)
- Ability to build and maintain Python services and automation components used alongside Backstage (e.g., workflow helpers, automation scripts, integration services).
- Experience with Python API frameworks and developer templates (relevant as DevX templates span Python/Node/Java).
Automation & Developer Workflow Acceleration
- Strong background building automation that reduces toil and accelerates onboarding / provisioning / template-driven workflows.
- Experience with CI/CD and workflow automation concepts commonly integrated into developer portals.
Platform Integration Skills (Strongly Preferred)
IDP / Developer Portal Integrations
- Practical experience integrating Backstage with common enterprise developer systems and/or plugins (examples reflected in internal Backstage roadmap material): CI/CD, code quality, observability, ticketing, knowledge bases, calendars/forms, etc.
- Capability to implement/extend scaffolder actions and platform-specific modules (e.g., internal publish actions and helper modules). Golden Paths / Template Standardization
- Experience designing standardized "golden path" workflows and consolidating fragmented templates into consistent scaffolders across languages.
- Appreciation for consistency requirements like using OpenAPI-first patterns for API templates.
AI Expertise (Desired / Differentiator)
AI?Enabled Developer Workflows
- * Experience applying AI to developer workflows such as:
- Guided "golden path" execution (natural language actions/workflows)
- Intelligent template selection and parameter extraction
- Automated diagnostics / recommendations based on service metadata
- Comfort building AI-enabled experiences that remain vendor-flexible (avoiding tight coupling to a single model/provider), aligning with the internal direction to focus on "MCP side rather than tool-specific coupling."
Agentic / Automation Patterns
- Experience designing systems where AI suggestions can trigger safe, auditable actions (approvals, guardrails, logging).
- Familiarity with building "stitching" experiences that unify application information and return actionable guidance (internal observations call out this "agentic journey").
Operational & Collaboration Skills (Important)
Reliability, Security, and Enterprise Constraints
- Strong engineering hygiene: unit/integration testing, API reliability, safe rollout strategies, and documentation.
- Experience building within enterprise guardrails and approved-component ecosystems (helpful in regulated environments).
Platform Team Mindset
- Ability to collaborate with product owners, platform teams, and downstream app teams to drive adoption and reduce friction (Backstage is explicitly positioned to reduce fragmentation and accelerate delivery).
