About the Role
Fastly's Platform Observability and Intelligence (POI) team is seeking a full-stack software engineer to contribute to Fastly's internal observability stack and developer portal. This generalist, mid-level position is ideal for an engineer with a few years of experience who is curious, proactive, and eager to grow into an impactful role, contributing meaningfully to projects that affect how Fastly engineers understand and operate their services.
Responsibilities
- Design, build and maintain software and platform capabilities that power Fastly’s internal observability function and developer experience
- Contribute to the development of our internal developer portal, helping engineering teams discover services, documentation, and operational tooling all in one place
- Work with your team to break down project requirements into concrete tasks, and take ownership of your assigned work through to completion
- Debug and resolve issues across the software stack, from datacenter hardware to the browser, often spanning multiple services and data sources
- Communicate clearly about the status of your work and any problems you encounter
- Collaborate with other engineers on the team, providing thoughtful code review and sharing context and knowledge
- Participate constructively in team planning and retrospectives
- Participate in on-call rotation as required, and respond to incidents within the team's SLA while on-call
Requirements
- 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ability to deliver quality work on reasonably well-defined projects with limited oversight
- Experience in a statically typed, modern back-end language (Go, Java, Rust, etc.)
- Experience in modern front-end frameworks (React, etc.), or a willingness to dive in and become proficient
- Experience with SQL and database-driven applications
- Experience working with Linux systems and the shell
- Experience working with distributed systems or cloud-based services, and an interest in developing deeper expertise in operating and debugging them
- Comfort with large and unfamiliar codebases: jumping into a system you didn't build, figuring out the context, and contributing with confidence
- Strong debugging skills: forming hypotheses and narrowing down causes methodically
- Clear, thoughtful writing and communication
- A service mindset
- A proactive disposition
- Comfort working within lightweight agile processes
- A desire to grow in your skills, knowledge, and scope
- Enthusiasm for learning new technologies
