Originally conceived in Spotify, Backstage is now a leading SaaS and open source platform for building developer portals. Adopted by thousands of companies, Backstage helps customers to restore order to their microservices and infrastructure and enables product teams to ship high-quality code quickly — without compromising autonomy.

Join a nimble, startup-like team of engineers, marketers, business developers, and product managers to drive an entirely new technology-focused business line and distribution channel. We want someone who’s passionate about that type of environment.

Your daily work is flexible, and you can expect a broad and developing role in which the combination of technical knowledge and ability to motivate change and shape client opportunities is central.
