🎯 The Role

The Developer Platform Team enables engineering teams to build, test, deploy, and operate software efficiently at scale. We build the shared engineering foundations that boost developer velocity, enhance reliability, and reduce operational friction across the organization.

As a Software Engineer II, you will deliver key platform improvements that make engineering journeys faster, more reliable, and easier to use. Your work will directly impact how services are built, tested, packaged, and released company-wide.

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving developer journey problems at the intersection of the codebase, build systems, CI infrastructure, and shared engineering tooling. You will independently own well-scoped platform initiatives, write production-quality code, and collaborate with teams across engineering to turn recurring friction into durable, automated platform capabilities.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Improve Developer Velocity: Build and enhance internal systems to accelerate local development workflows, reduce CI wait times, minimize flaky test failures, and streamline service onboarding.
• Strengthen Shared Engineering Foundations: Contribute to the Scala, Bazel, CI, and shared platform ecosystems to maintain scalable build configurations, clear dependency management, and reusable code patterns across repositories.
• Reduce Engineering Toil: Identify repetitive, manual processes and replace them with automated, self-service platform capabilities, debugging tools, and CI visibility.
• Improve Reliability & Signal Quality: Enhance CI success rates, speed up failure diagnosis, and increase the resilience of shared engineering systems under scale.
• Apply AI-Assisted Engineering Practices: Leverage AI tools and agentic workflows thoughtfully to automate migrations, streamline testing, and establish guardrails for AI-assisted development.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Engineering, Infrastructure, SRE, Security, and Quality Engineering to drive adoption of paved paths and improve overall developer experience.

📌 Required Qualifications

• Independent Execution: Ability to independently deliver moderate-complexity engineering projects with sound judgment and high execution quality.
• Engineering Fundamentals: Strong software engineering fundamentals with hands-on experience working in production codebases.
• Tooling & CI/CD Focus: Experience improving developer workflows, build systems, CI/CD pipelines, or internal engineering tools.
• Problem Solving & Debugging: Proven capability to debug complex technical issues and deliver durable, long-term fixes.
• Collaboration & Communication: Clear written and verbal communication skills with a track record of collaborative problem-solving across engineering teams.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience with Scala or the JVM ecosystem.
• Hands-on experience with Bazel, modern CI/CD infrastructure, Kubernetes, or GitOps workflows.
• Curiosity and familiarity with applying AI-assisted development tools or automated agentic workflows to developer tooling.

🎁 Benefits

The base salary range for this position in Lisbon, Portugal, is €55,000 – €68,000 per year (gross). This range is provided in anticipation of the requirements of the EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970), which EU member states are implementing into national law, and reflects the expected compensation at the start of employment for this role. The final offer will be determined based on your experience, qualifications, and performance throughout the selection process, while also ensuring alignment with our internal equity principles.
