In this team you will be working on building and expanding the Pulumi ecosystem. This includes (but is not limited to!) building Pulumi providers, creating higher level components for the Pulumi ecosystem, and helping to enable the Pulumi community to build their own providers, components and integrations.

• Lead projects from concept to completion that improve the Developer experience and leverage for users of Pulumi providers and components.
• Evolving the existing platform by guiding standards, and bringing a fresh perspective for improvements.
• Help mentor and foster good development practices both within the team and the wider Pulumi community
• Work from home with global travel 2 to 4 weeks a year for internal and external events

We’re Looking For Someone With:

• Familiar with Go and/or have an interest in learning new programming languages
• Have an understanding of the cloud infrastructure ecosystem (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes)
• Care about delivering value for customers and users
• Have experience with deployment orchestration and infrastructure-as-code tools
• Have a strong interest in building the next generation of developer tools that help build real world solutions
