About Spacelift


Spacelift is a collaborative management platform for Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD for OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Kubernetes, and Ansible. You can run our platform as SaaS, Hybrid-SaaS, or self-hosted. Teams running Spacelift deliver software faster, use cloud resources effectively, and do it in a safe and auditable way. The best part is that they love using our platform and its design and appreciate how powerful and configurable it is.


We have raised over $20M in funding to advance the automation, control, and scalability of infrastructure as code. Among our investors are Insight Partners, Blossom Capital, Hoxton Ventures, Inovo Venture Partners, and the founders of Supercell and Yelp.


As a software engineer, you will work with your product team to build and extend new features. In addition to that, you will also be contributing to the discovery phase that our UI/UX designers facilitate. You might work on integration with IaC, add support for new policies, or make a change that will make Spacelift even more powerful, easier to use, and loved by our users.


The backend tech stack is Go, AWS, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, OpenPolicyAgent, OpenTofu/Terraform FOSS, Infrastructure-as-Code, CloudNative/Kubernetes, Datadog, and Launchdarkly.
