Product Software Engineer (Remote)

Spacelift is the infrastructure orchestration platform built for the modern software era, managing the full lifecycle for both traditional IaC and AI-accelerated infrastructure. It integrates with Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation, Pulumi, and Ansible in a single governed workflow so you deliver secure, compliant infrastructure at scale. Developer self-service, Golden Paths with guardrails, an OPA policy engine, and drift detection accelerate developer velocity while maintaining control. Spacelift Intelligence adds AI-powered provisioning and diagnostics across traditional and AI-driven workflows.

Spacelift was founded in 2020 by long-time DevOps practitioner Marcin Wyszynski and successful entrepreneur Pawel Hytry and has raised $82.3M in funding over four rounds from top venture capital firms including Insight Partners, Blossom Capital, Hoxton Ventures, Inovo Venture partners and Five Elms Capital.

We are looking for software engineers who are passionate about building tools. Engineers who want to contribute to every aspect of building new functionality—from discovery to delivery to release—and drive key decisions. We build highly technical products that need a good understanding of our users problems and excellent engineering to nail the solution.

The Team

We work in product teams (8), a team lead, backend and frontend engineers, a UX/UI designer, and a product manager. To move fast and make better decisions, we work closely and pair on problems and issues. We care about each other. We believe that having Engineers leading the projects and initiatives is the best solution as our platform is very technical.

The role

• Delivering new features and products in an iterative and incremental manner

• Owning the features end-to-end from the discovery process, through creating designs, to implementation and maintenance

• Tackle sophisticated technical challenges involving multiple technologies

• Implement solutions in Go that work at scale with a strong focus on readability and testability

• Keep learning about our problem space

• You build it, you run it – you will also be part of the on-call rotation

• 6+ years of experience in the tech industry (software engineering, platform, or/and DevOps)

• You worked previously in startups (early stage) or cofounded one is a plus

• Have experience or interest in working on developer tooling

• Ideally, you have worked with an IaC tool — OpenTofu/Terraform, Ansible, AWS CloudFormation — or have experience with Kubernetes and the Cloud Native ecosystem

• Excellent communication skills

How we work

• We move fast. Continuous deployments at least 2 times a day, we use heavily feature flags (LaunchDarkly)
