Senior Backend Engineer Developer Experience



Job description

SoundCloud empowers artists and fans to connect and share through music.

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud is an artist-first platform empowering artists to build and grow their careers by providing them with the most progressive tools, services, and resources.

With over 400+ million tracks from 40 million artists, the future of music is SoundCloud.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to the design and development of backend services that power SoundCloud’s internal developer platform

  • Build and maintain tools that improve the developer experience across CI/CD, deployment visibility, documentation, and system health

  • Extend and maintain our Go-based internal CLI used across engineering for tasks like deployment, scaffolding, and service introspection

  • Collaborate closely with other engineering teams—our key stakeholders—to understand their needs and build solutions that reduce friction and increase velocity

  • Help evolve our Internal Developer Portal (based on Backstage), surfacing key metadata like service ownership, deployments, and alerts

  • Make key information easily discoverable to support self-service and effective onboarding for new engineers

  • Develop and operate cloud-native services running in Kubernetes across AWS (EKS), GCP, and on-prem

  • Participate in ongoing improvements to our observability stack using OpenTelemetry and the LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir)
  • Experience and Background:

  • Proficiency in at least one backend language - Go, Scala, or Node.js - and an eagerness to work across a polyglot codebase

  • Experience with Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred); bonus points for exposure to EKS, GCP, or hybrid setups

  • Familiarity with CI/CD tools (especially GitHub Actions), infrastructure as code (Terraform), and containerized deployments

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills - you'll work directly with other engineering teams and need to understand their workflows and pain points

  • Interest in developer tooling, platform engineering, or Internal Developer Portals

  • Experience building or maintaining internal tooling such as CLIs or automation frameworks is a strong plus

  • A mindset focused on clarity, documentation, and enabling self-service across the org

  • Some exposure to observability concepts and tools - metrics, traces, logs - ideally with OpenTelemetry and LGTM stack components

  • Nice to have: experience with Bazel and large-scale monorepos

  • Curiosity and a willingness to learn new tools and practices as the platform evolves

  • Required Skill Profession
