Software Engineer - Platform

Job description

Build features and infrastructure for a SaaS Developer Portal


Company Overview

Roadie is improving developer effectiveness in engineering organizations across the globe. By helping companies adopt and use Backstage, the open-source developer portal and service catalog developed at Spotify, we are making developers' lives easier and more productive.


We are a fully remote, seed stage startup, backed by some of the best investors in the DevTools ecosystem. From developer first VC firms like Boldstart, to individual angels like Guy Podjarny - the founder of developer focussed security company Snyk and Adam Gross, the ex-CEO of Heroku.


Though our company is young and has grown quickly, we have maintained a tight-knit culture and way of working. We are 30% woman or non-binary and we’re spread across 6 different European countries.


We aim to create a company culture where individual employees are empowered and trusted to do their best work. We are focused on collaboration, learning, and community conscientiousness.
