It integrates with all your infrastructure tooling (e.g., Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Ansible) to provide a single integrated workflow so you can deliver secure, cost-effective, and resilient infrastructure quickly.
By automating deployment and configuration, providing developer self-service, golden paths with guardrails, and an OPA policy engine, Spacelift empowers businesses to accelerate developer velocity while maintaining control and governance over their infrastructure. Spacelift offers unrivalled support, no-nonsense pricing, and a range of deployment models to fit your specific needs.
Spacelift was founded in 2020 by long-time DevOps practitioner Marcin Wyszynski and successful entrepreneur Pawel Hytry and has raised $82.3 M 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

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)
