Senior Developer / DevOps Platform Engineer
Backstage · GitOps · Crossplane · Cloud-Native Platform


KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Own and extend Backstage: develop custom plugins, software templates, scaffolder actions, and catalog integrations that reduce developer friction
• Build and maintain GitOps pipelines (GitHub Actions + Argo CD) covering build, test, security scan, promotion, and rollback workflows
• Author Crossplane XRDs, compositions, and providers to enable one-click self-service provisioning across Kubernetes, OpenShift, AKS, and VM targets
• Integrate Backstage with downstream systems: Crossplane, Argo CD, Vault, OPA, Prometheus, and internal ITSM/CMDB tooling
• Implement and enforce security controls: Kyverno/OPA policies, Vault secrets management, RBAC, and audit logging across the full provisioning chain
• Build observability coverage (metrics, traces, logs) and surface platform health via Backstage and AIOps dashboards
• Manage Backstage upgrades without breaking custom plugins — maintain upgrade-safe extension patterns and document architectural decisions
• Write runbooks, support documentation, and onboarding guides so that what you build can be handed over and evolved by others
• Participate in platform support rotation: triage issues, resolve incidents, and close the feedback loop back into the product backlog
• Collaborate with platform architects, security, and product owners to translate requirements into production-grade platform features
