All product teams at Gitpod have their back strengthened by the platform team. To allow the product teams to fully focus on the end-user, the platform team enables them via technical expertise and tailored solutions that are shared across product teams. We identify areas where our involvement is most helpful and research, design, implement and roll out solutions. A solution can be a reusable software component, a tool, a hosting platform, self-hosted open-source software, or a SaaS offering from a 3rd party vendor.
 
We are a highly-motivated, fully-remote company, and led by technical founders. We love open-source, have started and lead many popular open-source projects, and contribute to many others. We celebrate diversity and strive for an equal, inclusive, empathetic and welcoming environment. Bringing diversity to the team is a big plus. If you are part of a marginalised community, and are not sure if you should apply, please get in touch.
 
<h3>As part of the team you will ...</h3>
📒 Evaluate Needs and Scope Projects
With the goal of reducing redundant work across product teams you will work closely with them to research, design, and propose solutions to fulfil their needs. Your solutions are pragmatic, technically sound, easy to adopt, and have moderate maintenance effort for the platform team.
 
🔌 Maintain Platforms
You will help maintain the platforms offered by the Platform team, such as Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes application clusters, and developer preview environments.
 
🚚 Manage Self-hosted Services
While we like SaaS services from 3rd party vendors, we sometimes find that an open-source solution best suits our needs and decide to self-host it. As part of the team you will help ensure that these services run reliably. This includes services for CI, CD, Monitoring, intrusion detection etc. Most hosted services run on Kubernetes.
 
👩🏽‍💻 Develop Software Components
You will develop or enhance software components owned by the platform team. Such components may be used by product teams in production or as tools. Todays examples include components related to observability, monitoring, and intrusion detection.
 
🤝 Consult and Teach
The product engineering teams are autonomous and have full ownership of their deployment pipelines and production environments. As part of the Platform team you will assist the teams as necessary. This might be helping them adopt any of our offerings, or share knowledge around best practices concerning observability, infrastructure, monitoring &amp; alerting, and so on. It might also be providing feedback on RFC documents or lending a hand in implementing smaller solutions.
 
🚨 Participate in On-Call
We have an engineering-wide on-call rotation for our SaaS offering that every engineer is expected to participate in once they're ready. It is important to us that this doesn't put strain on your life outside of work and thus we try out best to contain your on-call hours to your work-hours and provide time compensation for on-call activities outside of work.
 
<h3>What we need</h3>
🤝You share our values
We are developer-led and aim for a frictionless experience when interacting with our product, our company and our brand: no hurdles, no BS, no unnecessary extra steps. We are open minded, inclusive, transparent and curious. We always remain students of the game, not masters of the game. We have opinions, but are not opinionated. We integrate, don't dictate.
 
🧩 You have a strong background in Software Engineering
You understand concepts and are able to design abstractions rather than getting lost in them. You write code that is easy to understand and are able to dive into large code bases. You bring a rich toolbox of methodology, tools, and solutions.
 
🏃‍♀️You are pragmatic
You understand that doing the right thing gives you momentum while doing a thing perfectly can cost a lot of time. You focus on the problem at hand, can find the shortest path to a solution, and don't get diverted by an urge to add extra bells and whistles.
 
🗣 Your's a good (async) communicator
We work remote, in multiple time zones and grow quickly. You value writing and express yourself concisely. You communicate thoughtfully, always assume others speak in good faith, aim to understand opposing perspectives and compromise when needed. You are good at communicating asynchronously.
 
📖 You enable others through technical knowledge
You understand that people are as important as code and that even the best technical solution derives its worth from being understood and adopted by others. You are able to explain complex matters in simple, structured means.
 
👌 You help platform peers
You are happy to help your peers by providing technical knowledge and break down problems into manageable pieces.
 
<h3>Our Stack</h3>
Clouds and Kubernetes
Gitpod hosts production systems on Google Cloud Platform. Almost all applications run in Kubernetes clusters, where we use a mix of Google Kubernetes Engine and K3s.
 
Observability Stack
To help product engineers better understand their production systems we provide tools for working with different kinds of telemetry. For traces we use OpenTelemetry and Honeycomb. For metrics we use Prometheus, Victoriametrics, and Grafana. Logs to go GCP.
 
Infrastructure and delivery
We maintain infrastructure-as-code via Terraform, do GitOps via ArgoCD and use several solutions for continuous integrations.
 
3rd party SaaS
We use <a href="http://incident.io/" target="_blank">incident.io</a> and PagerDuty to manage in incidents and OnCall. We communicate incidents via <a href="http://statuspage.io/" target="_blank">statuspage.io</a>. Generally speaking, we prefer SaaS solutions over self-hosted solutions due to the lower effort related to reliability, maintenance and support.
 
Browser-based productivity tools for the rest
Gitpod for development, GitHub for issue tracking and as git hoster, Slack for comms, Figma for design, Notion as our virtual HQ, Pitch for slides, Loom for screencasts and a few others.

Strategic Projects Lead (CEO Office)

We at Gitpod build tools that require a view across the stack.
We are a highly motivated, fully-remote team, organized in a flat hierarchy, and led by technical founders. We love open-source, have started and lead many popular open-source projects, and contribute to many others. In this fashion, we present at international conferences and collaborate openly around the globe.
We celebrate diversity and strive for an equal, inclusive, empathetic and welcoming environment. Bringing diversity to the team is a big plus. If you are part of a marginalised community, and are not sure if you should apply, please get in touch.
<h4>As part of the team you will ...</h4>
<ul>
<li>Directly impact users. Gitpod has little fat to trim and changes directly affect users. We always have our users in mind and focus on making Gitpod work for them, not some abstract potential future requirement.</li>
<li>Be a "jack of all trades, master of some". As a small team we favour generalists. You might work on React code, dive deeply into Kubernetes or read the Linux sources. There is loads of room to find your passion and see everything that makes the platform tick.</li>
<li>Solve hard technical problems. Be it on the backend where we live right on the edge of what Kubernetes, containers and Linux can do; or on the frontend where we deeply care about performance and quality across browsers and platforms. Gitpod is not your typical Kubernetes web app and provides very unique problems you`d be unlikely to come across elsewhere.</li>
<li>Co-own the product and work self-directed. We work with a very flat hierarchy, organizing our tasks in iterations with a lot of freedom.</li>
<li>Work with the community and in the open. Our DNA is deeply rooted in open source and we are building Gitpod in public. We expect the same from you.</li>
</ul>
<h4>You will be a great fit if ...</h4>
<ul>
<li>You share our values. We are developer-led and aim for a frictionless experience when interacting with our product, our company and our brand: no hurdles, no BS, no unnecessary extra steps. We are open minded, inclusive, transparent and curious. We always remain students of the game, not masters of the game. We have opinions, but are not opinionated. We integrate, don`t dictate.</li>
<li>You care for our mission. Developers architect our future. Gitpod democratises software development by making it more accessible to all developers. Ready-to-code, cloud-based development environments streamline how software is written today.</li>
<li>You enjoy working across the front- and backend. We hardly ever have a task that is clear cut along frontend/backend lines. If React is your thing, you should feel comfortable enough to have a look at the server. If Kubernetes is your thing, you should still feel comfortable enough to make that change on the dashboard. You do not think "not my department", but welcome the opportunity to venture out of your comfort zone.</li>
<li>You enjoy building distributed systems. That means understanding their idiosyncrasies, and wallowing in the fact that anyone elses computer can break yours. You don`t blindly follow trends, but have a keen eye for stable and pragmatic solutions. You have developed and interacted with distributed systems in the real world, have seen them fail and fixed them.</li>
<li>You have experience shipping code in production. Your code is ready for prime time, and you don`t expect others to test it thoroughly for you. You understand the difference between "making something work" and "making something work reliably". You have read other people`s code, know how to make yourself at home and understand that code is read way more often than it`s written. You understand that every new dependency comes at a cost, as do lines of code.</li>
<li>You are product minded. You enjoy using what you`ve helped build, and still pay attention to things that feel off. You can empathize with other users and understand how they might see things differently, or that messaging that`s completely clear to you might be unintelligible to others. You are eager to understand why things are not working for others and quickly act when unexpected things happen.</li>
<li>You are a good communicator. We work remote, our users are remote too. You value writing and express yourself concisely. You may hold strong opinions, but you are not ideological. You communicate thoughtfully, always assume others speak in good faith, aim to understand opposing perspectives and compromise when needed.</li>
