Description
Originally conceived in Spotify, Backstage is now a leading SaaS and open source platform for building developer portals. Adopted by thousands of companies, Backstage helps customers to restore order to their microservices and infrastructure and enables product teams to ship high-quality code quickly — without compromising autonomy.
Interested in helping us drive Spotify’s developer portal philosophy and increase market share?

Join a nimble, startup-like team of engineers, marketers, business developers, and product managers to drive an entirely new technology-focused business line and distribution channel. We want someone who’s passionate about that type of environment.
