You will be an important contributor to the Pulumi open source platform across programming models, cloud APIs, core infrastructure deployment engine, distributed systems primitives and more. You’ll work at the forefront of the intersection between cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes) and developer platforms (programming languages, SDKs, and application lifecycle), changing the way developers everywhere write cloud applications.

  • Lead projects from concept to completion: collaborate with fellow engineers and customers to prototype, design, engineer, and test new features.
  • Determine roadmaps and scope features based on your interaction with the team and the open source community.
  • Contribute to the Pulumi community: engage with users to gather feedback, produce new sample content, and increase excitement about what we’re building.

We’re Looking For Someone With:

  • Experience in designing APIs, SDKs, developer tools.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Experience in multiple programming languages such as Go, TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Rust, Kotlin, Scala, Haskell, Ruby, F#, Lisp.
  • Systematic problem-solving approach, first principles and critical thinking skills, good design sensibilities.
  • Mindset of a community builder, focus on driving users and contributors to success.
  • Understanding of compilers, graph algorithms, data structures, and software architecture.
  • Experience building and running services in platforms such as Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud.
  • Experience with deployment orchestration and infrastructure as code tools.

Compensation:

  • Base Salary Hiring Range: $166,250 - $206,150
  • All full time employee offers at Pulumi include base salary, bonus or variable, equity and benefits (details below).

Pulumi Benefits:

  • Health: We provide comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and supplemental insurance at no cost to U.S. employees, and comply with local health benefit requirements internationally.
  • Time Off: We have an unlimited Personal Time Off (PTO) policy and require employees to take at least three weeks off annually, in addition to 13 U.S. holidays.
  • 401K: We offer a 401(k) with an employer match for U.S. employees to support long-term financial security.
  • Parental Leave: We provide 20 weeks of paid leave for the birthing parent or primary caregiver and 16 for the non-birthing parent or secondary caregiver.
  • Remote-First: Our workforce is fully remote, spanning over 20 states and 12 countries. We encourage asynchronous collaboration and support remote work with an annual “work from anywhere” fund.
  • Professional Development: Each employee receives an annual development budget, reinforcing our commitment to continuous learning.
  • Equity: As a growing startup, all employees receive equity and are encouraged to be frugal, scrappy, and to act like owners.
  • Additional Funds: We offer a monthly wellness fund for physical or mental well-being and a quarterly happiness fund for personal and team use.
