Backend Engineer – Platform – Stacks | Spain | Remote

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential observability platform organization in their search for a Backend Engineer to join their Platform team. This is a fully remote position available to candidates located in Germany, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, or the UK.

The team you'll join owns critical systems that create, configure, and operate cloud infrastructure at scale. You'll work at the intersection of product, platform, and operations—building control-plane services and workflows that keep customer environments reliable and aligned across distributed systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate reconciliation systems to track desired state, detect drift, and repair configuration across distributed services and cloud infrastructure
• Collaborate across backend services, deployment configurations, and hosted infrastructure to ensure lifecycle workflows remain reliable and observable
• Improve operational efficiency by reducing deployment complexity and contributing to configuration reconciliation projects
• Manage rollout mechanisms for plugins, dashboards, data sources, versions, release channels, and environment-level configuration
• Support new region and cluster rollouts, including operational paths required to bring customer environments online safely
• Improve incident response and recovery paths for state misalignment, reconciliation failures, and integration issues
• Partner with Product, Infrastructure, Support, and adjacent teams on customer-impacting lifecycle work
• Contribute to roadmap planning, technical design, on-call improvements, and long-term simplification of operations
• Own production behavior of systems you build, including runbooks, dashboards, alerts, and recovery procedures

What We're Looking For

Required qualifications:

• At least 1 year of fully remote work experience
• Experience working on a SaaS platform with familiarity in distributed systems concepts (scalability, multi-tenancy, high availability)
• Professional experience with Golang, willing to work across backend service and application code
• Deep care for developer and user experience and product quality
• Experience contributing to project delivery, from initial design through shipping to customers
• Ability to write clean, well-tested software that other engineers can understand, operate, and maintain
• Capability to take on well-defined tasks, break them down, and execute iteratively
• Strong collaboration skills across teams and alignment with stakeholder needs
• Familiarity with Kubernetes in AWS, GCP, or Azure, and exposure to infrastructure-as-code tooling (Helm, Terraform, Jsonnet)
• Experience participating in blameless incident response and post-incident reviews

Bonus qualifications:

• Experience with TypeScript/Node.js
• Experience with Kubernetes control-plane patterns, operators, reconcilers, or desired-state systems
• Experience with Jsonnet/Tanka, Terraform, Flux, Argo, or similar deployment/configuration tooling
• Experience working on SaaS provisioning, tenancy, regional expansion, or customer lifecycle systems
• Experience with incident response involving configuration drift, partial failure, or cross-service state mismatch
