Project description

We run and evolve an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) built on Backstage for one of our customers. The platform is live and used daily by their engineering organisation, and we are responsible for its support, stability and further development.

We are looking for someone who has genuinely operated and extended Backstage in production — to take technical ownership of the platform, unblock day-to-day support, and bring the rest of the team up to speed.

This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong knowledge-transfer component, working directly with the customer's platform and developer-experience stakeholders.

Responsibilities
bullet icon

Take technical ownership of the customer's Backstage instance: architecture, stability, performance and upgrade path

bullet icon

Handle escalated support issues — catalog ingestion failures, broken plugins, auth problems, TechDocs build errors, scaffolder task failures — and turn recurring incidents into permanent fixes

bullet icon

Design and build custom plugins (React/TypeScript frontend, Node.js backend) and integrations with the customer's toolchain: source control, CI/CD, Kubernetes, observability, ticketing, cloud providers

bullet icon

Model and maintain the Software Catalog: entity model, ownership, relations, custom processors and entity providers, catalog data quality

bullet icon

Build and maintain Software Templates (Scaffolder) and custom scaffolder actions for golden-path onboarding

bullet icon

Configure and extend authentication, authorization and the permissions framework, including SSO and RBAC aligned with the customer's identity provider

bullet icon

Own the Backstage upgrade process — Backstage ships frequent releases, and we need someone who can keep us current without breaking the customer's platform, including migration to the new backend and frontend systems

bullet icon

Own deployment and operations of the platform: containerisation, Kubernetes/Helm, CI/CD pipelines, PostgreSQL, monitoring, alerting and backups

bullet icon

Mentor the two existing engineers: pairing, code review, internal documentation and runbooks, with the explicit goal that the team can support the platform independently

bullet icon

Work with the customer to shape the platform roadmap and translate developer-experience goals into concrete plugins and workflows

Skills

Must have

bullet icon

5+ years of experience

bullet icon

Hands-on production experience with Backstage — building, customizing, deploying and supporting it, not just evaluating or demoing it

bullet icon

Strong TypeScript, plus practical React (frontend plugins) and Node.js/Express (backend plugins)

bullet icon

Demonstrated experience developing custom Backstage plugins and integrations, and extending the Software Catalog and Scaffolder

bullet icon

Solid DevOps foundation: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent), at least one major cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP)

bullet icon

Experience with authentication and authorization patterns: OIDC/OAuth2, SSO providers, RBAC

bullet icon

Comfortable operating a platform under a support model — triage, prioritisation, root-cause analysis, SLAs

bullet icon

Ability to mentor peers and document what you build; you enjoy making other engineers more effective

bullet icon

Customer-facing communication skills and professional English

Nice to have

bullet icon

Contributions to the upstream Backstage project or its plugin ecosystem

bullet icon

Experience migrating a Backstage instance to the new backend system and/or the new frontend system

bullet icon

Experience with managed or commercial Backstage offerings, or with alternative IDP products (Port, Cortex, Humanitec) for comparison and advisory conversations

bullet icon

TechDocs at scale, GraphQL, OpenAPI-driven integrations, PostgreSQL performance tuning

bullet icon

Platform engineering / developer-experience background: golden paths, self-service, scorecards, DORA metrics
