🧑‍💻 The Role

Are you one of those rare people who combines agile product engineering skills with a love of infrastructure as code and slick deployment engineering? Do you enjoy working closely with agile product teams to improve their lives while making state-of-the-art delivery practices an out-of-the-box default?

At NewStore, our product engineering teams use XP practices to build and run our industry-leading cloud-native Omni-Channel Point of Sale platform. They follow the “you run what you build” ethos - but that doesn’t mean they’re on their own!

The NewStore Platform Engineering & DevEx team enables our product engineering teams to move fast without breaking things. Happy developers are productive developers, so we use a platform-as-product approach to moving much of the undifferentiated heavy lifting into our internal developer platform, thus reducing cognitive load while ensuring consistent application of security and architectural standards.

🚀 What You'll Do

As part of our team, you’ll work closely with stream-aligned teams following eXtreme Programming practices, including TDD and trunk-based development. With a focus on Developer Experience, you’ll use your cloud and deployment engineering expertise to build reusable golden paths that make doing the right thing the easiest thing.

🤝 How We Work Together

We’re a team that values empowerment, collaboration, and ownership. We use a platform-as-product approach, treating our internal developer platform as a core product, ensuring happy, productive, and effective developers. You’ll collaborate closely with agile product teams, aligning on shared goals, and continuously improving practices to reduce cognitive load and enhance security.

• XP practices: TDD, pair programming, trunk-based development, AI-generated change validated at scale and tight feedback loops with your internal customers

• CI/CD and deployment engineering : infrastructure as code, secure pipelines, zero-downtime and progressive delivery; making it safe for the teams you serve to ship on every commit

• Identity and access in the product: authentication and authorization for APIs and services (OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, fine-grained permissions) beyond cloud IAM policies

• Reliability engineering: SLOs, error budgets and observability built on OpenTelemetry

• Cloud engineering and architecture: Kubernetes & AWS(principally EKS, RDS, AmazonMQ and MSK); GCP familiarity comes in handy

We evaluate candidates based on the sum of their strengths. You may not have depth in all of these areas, but we will look to you for thought leadership where you do have strength.
