At Portainer our product is used in a huge variety of use cases - from devices buried inside hundreds of thousands of engines, to perched on top of cranes (with the requisite intermittent connectivity!) to the NAS device backing your photos up under your desk.

So many people trust us with so much, and it’s imperative that we are a reliable piece of their mission critical software stack. This role is to guide the team charged with doing that.

This new team builds and maintains our high level automated testing suite, our custom environment and demo infrastructure, and our performance testing tooling. We treat these as first class products, part of what we ship as a daily thing - not a side project!

Additionally, this crew takes on some of the jobs that everyone wants to see done but nobody has the time to do. A good example is our recent swap from many repositories to a single monorepo, or a starter script for a new development environment. Effectively removing the stones in the shoes of the rest of the crew to make them happier and faster (”Developer Experience”)

Overall, the team’s goal is to accelerate engineering while shipping a reliable product - “Go fast and go safe”.

We’re looking for someone who is a capable senior individual contributor who wants to stretch their leadership legs - 70/30 split respectively 🙂 There are 4 people already on this team, so 5 including you.

In terms of skills and technologies we’re looking for someone who is interested in what the tools can do, rather than being too excited about using a specific language or tech.
