Overview

Orunbase is a developer portal for platform discipline. We help engineering teams ship software that is well-structured, secure and maintainable from day one, with golden paths, guardrails and living documentation built into how they work.

Responsibilities

• As a Forward Deployed Platform Engineer, you'll work most closely with our partners, the IT services and consulting firms in our partner program. You'll embed with their engineering teams, help them run client projects through our process, and make sure what they deliver holds up in production.
• You'll also own and evolve the baselines at the core of the program. That includes maintaining Orunbase-managed baselines, helping partners build baselines that reflect their own practices, and contributing new ones as partners take on new kinds of projects.
• Work alongside partner engineers to take client projects from kickoff to production using our delivery process
• Support partners through maintenance and ongoing development of delivered products
• Maintain and improve Orunbase-managed baselines, keeping them versioned, tested and current
• Build tooling and agent skills that make each engagement faster than the last

Qualifications

• Around 6 years of experience in DevOps, SRE or platform engineering, though what you've built matters more to us than the number
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, environment and secrets management, and running database migrations safely A solid understanding of SaaS architecture: tenant isolation and where it can leak, where authorisation belongs, how metering and billing tie to usage, and what a good audit trail looks like The ability to look at a system and see what will cause problems a year from now
• Comfort reading and writing TypeScript, including code that was generated rather than handwritten
• Clear written communication, since much of this role involves documentation and handover
• Prior experience building starter kits, templates or internal platforms used by multiple teams
• Background in an IT services or consulting environment

Benefits

• Meaningful equity in an early-stage company
• High ownership, with direct influence on how the partner program and product evolve
• Work across a range of client projects and technical problems
• Flexible working, with some travel to partner offices in Kerala and occasional calls at European hours
• How to Apply
• Send us something you've built, such as a platform, a starter kit, or a migration you've led, along with a few lines about it. We'd genuinely rather see your work than a CV.
