Software Engineer – remote Europe (Mid and Senior)

Spacelift is an infrastructure orchestration platform that manages your entire infrastructure lifecycle—provisioning, configuration, and governance. 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 Marcin Wyszynski, a long-time DevOps practitioner, and Pawel Hytry, a successful entrepreneur. In 2025, Spacelift raised a $51M Series C.

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

About You

• Passion for building products, love for tech, and interest in the problem space (DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Developer Experience)

• Proactive and owning-your-inputs mindset

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with programming – more than 1 year with Golang is a plus

• 4+ years of experience in the tech industry (software engineering, platform, or/and DevOps)

• You worked previously in startups (early stage) or cofounded one is a plus

• 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
