Job Description
Mozilla's Cloud Engineering group, which works on the Internal Developer Infrastructure Platform, is hiring a remote, full-time Senior Software Engineer. The platform gives development teams consistent, scalable tools to run their own services. The listed focus areas are delivery pipelines, observability, Kubernetes efficiency, environment setup, and spend reduction.
The engineer strengthens the infrastructure product teams depend on, helps guide technical choices toward solutions that suit users, and champions sound engineering habits that emphasize usability and upkeep. Other duties include drafting proposals and decision notes covering fresh policies, workflows, and platform capabilities, and coordinating delivery across groups. The posting also mentions building Claude skills and agent-driven workflows to raise developer output.
Additional expectations are to build platform features with clear, measurable value, to take on ambiguous yet urgent requests, and to find ways to make the route to production safer and cheaper.
Applicants need five or more years of software engineering in platform, cloud, site reliability, or DevOps work, along with proven leadership on technical projects. Experience across several tools is expected, such as ArgoCD, Grafana, Kubernetes, GitHub, Terraform, Helm, Backstage, and cloud spend control. Coding skill in Python, JavaScript, or Go is required. Cloud-native experience on GCP is preferred, and AWS experience is accepted.
Pluses include distributed systems design, cloud security and governance, agent workflow design, database skills, and experience building internal developer platforms. Benefits include performance bonuses, medical, dental, and vision coverage, retirement contributions that vest immediately, and paid parental leave.
