About the role
Senior Software Engineer I - Platform Engineering We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer I - Platform Engineering to take a leading hands-on role in extending Aurigo DevHub. You will design and build new Backstage plugins, harden the platform on AWS EKS, modernize our CI/CD on GitHub Actions, and shape the golden paths that every Aurigo engineer uses to ship. You should be equally comfortable writing production Node.js plugin code, debugging a React component in the Backstage frontend, authoring a reusable GitHub Actions workflow, and writing the Terraform that puts it all on EKS.
Requirements:
6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2 years in platform engineering, developer experience, or internal tooling.
Hands-on experience with Backstage — building or maintaining production Backstage plugins (frontend and backend) and operating a Backstage deployment.
Strong Node.js / TypeScript for backend services, with production-quality code, testing discipline, and an instinct for clean APIs.
Strong React for plugin frontends and dashboards — proficient with modern hooks, state management, and component design.
PostgreSQL depth — schema design, query optimization, migrations, operating on Amazon RDS or Aurora.
GitHub Enterprise + GitHub Actions — writing reusable workflows, custom actions, environments, rulesets; familiarity with GitHub Advanced Security is a plus.
AWS:
comfortable with the core services (VPC, IAM, ALB, Route 53, KMS, S3) and how they fit together. Amazon EKS — Helm, Kustomize, ArgoCD or FluxCD, day-2 operations. Strong written communication — you can write a design doc, a runbook, and a TechDocs page that other engineers will actually read.
Education:
B.E/B.Tech/M.Tech (circuit branches only).Why build with us? Work on real problems. Learn fast. Ship impactful AI-native solutions that shape what's next. Explore Life@Aurigo ?
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
