About this role
Product Software Engineer - Spacelift (Remote, European Union)
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
About You
Passion for building products, love for tech, and interest in the problem space (DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Developer Experience)
Proactive and owning-your-inputs mindset
5+ years of hands-on programming experience in Go, Rust, or C/C++
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)
Deliver features in iterations and tracer-bullet development
Ownership over our work and driving key product decisions
Working closely as a team, transparent communication, caring about our system, ourselves, and customers
Everything is an iteration and everything is an experiment
Cultivate space for small and big innovation from all-engineering hackathons to smaller, ad-hoc experiments
We use the best dev tools that we can get our hands on
