ABOUT THIS ROLE
Astronomer’s products run on a complex, multi-cloud platform — and the scalability, and operational maturity of that platform is what we’re actively investing in. The work ahead on our Platform team isn’t about managing data or curating pipelines; it’s about building the foundational systems that everything else runs on — the kind of systems where the failure modes matter, the latency budgets are real, and getting it wrong has visible consequences for hundreds of enterprise customers.
We’re looking for a Staff+-level engineer who has built production platform systems at scale before — not just consumed them. You’ve designed systems under load, reasoned carefully about failure, and made your colleagues’ lives better by giving them something solid and well-understood to build on top of. You write strategy documents and then write the code that proves them out. You’ve been the person who made the call, and lived with the consequences.
This is a foundational role at a consequential moment: your work will directly shape what Astronomer’s products — Astro, Observe, and our IDE — are capable of over the next several years.
