Description

At Productboard, we are developing a product command center where 5,000+ global companies make strategic product decisions every day.

We're growing fast and with that comes strong demand to build more and more product features. To help meet our customers' evolving needs, we want to have 20% of our engineering team working on our technical platform. Would you like to be part of that?

Our engineering department is composed of multiple product tribes and a platform tribe. The platform tribe is composed of four teams, each focusing on a different topic with a high level of cross-collaboration:

  • Nucleus — nurturing our design system, a library of reusable components and UI patterns that makes the user experience of our product consistent and beautiful.
  • DevX — focusing on frameworks and tools that improve the developer experience by streamlining continuous integration, quality engineering and development environments, among other things.
  • Cloud Engineering — taking care of everything related to cloud infrastructure by using the infrastructure as a code approach and making sure that we are compliant with our security standards (SOC2/ISO 27K).
  • Production Engineering — focusing on good standards for our internal backend services by defining the service maturity matrix, which is a list of requirements our services must adhere to, and providing the tooling to facilitate the job for product teams.

If you want to know more, feel free to check out this article on our engineering blog.

If you join us, you'll have the freedom to choose the topic which is closest to your heart. We also encourage moving between teams if there's a topic you like better.

We're fully running on AWS and Kubernetes, with our frontend written in Typescript/React. We're in the progress of breaking down a Ruby on Rails monolith into microservices that communicate through Kafka message bus. New components are written in Kotlin, with Ruby remaining a first-class citizen in our stack. We are also transitioning to a federated single schema GraphQL implementation for the data-fetching layer.

Our Tech Stack

  • Frontend: TypeScript, React.js, Nx (you can read here about how we use it)
  • Backend: Kotlin/Spring, Ruby on Rails, Kafka
  • Storage: Postgres, Elastic, Redis
  • Code Quality: Jest, Cypress.io, ESlint, Prettier, Danger.js
  • Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog

About you

  • You are experienced at building web applications and designing architecture that scales
  • You are passionate about learning, embrace change, and are not afraid to pick a new stack
  • You have an interest in platform and building tools and features for other engineers
  • You are not tied to a single tech stack and like to learn different technologies
  • You like to fix things when they break
  • You are passionate about sharing your knowledge with others
  • Your code is clean and well tested
  • You are fluent in English — our team consists of 14+ nationalities!

Bonus points

  • Experience with message queue systems and event-driven architecture
  • Previous knowledge of Kotlin or other JVM-based language
  • Previous knowledge of Ruby
  • Previous experience working in platform teams or SRE

If you don't check all these boxes, don't worry! We encourage learning and knowledge-sharing and would love to have a chat with you regardless of your experience level.
