Summary Generated by Built In

Our world is transforming, and PTC is leading the way. Our software brings the physical and digital worlds together, enabling companies to improve operations, create better products, and empower people in all aspects of their business. 

Our people make all the difference in our success. Today, we are a global team of nearly 7,000 and our main objective is to create opportunities for our team members to explore, learn, and grow – all while seeing their ideas come to life and celebrating the differences that make us who we are and the work we do possible.  

Team:  Pipeline Squad
Product: Jetstream — PTC's Atlas SaaS collaboration platform

About the team

The Pipeline squad owns the infrastructure, build, release, and security foundations that every other Jetstream squad builds on top of. Jetstream is a NestJS + Angular monorepo deployed into Azure Kubernetes via Helm, shipped through GitLab CI/CD, and running on the wider PTC Atlas platform. We're the squad that makes shipping fast, safe, and boring so product squads can focus on features.


What you will do:


  • Work on services from development through to deployment and running them in production.
  • Build and maintain backend services, mainly using TypeScript, Node.js and NestJS.
  • Help improve our GitLab CI/CD pipelines, including build, test, security and deployment.
  • Work with Docker, Kubernetes and Helm to deploy and troubleshoot our services.
  • Improve developer tooling and workflows, particularly where we can remove manual work or make things simpler.
  • Help improve observability, monitoring and debugging across our services.
  • Work alongside DevOps on infrastructure and automation where needed, including things like Terraform and Azure.
  • Generally be comfortable working across backend development, CI/CD and the platform rather than focusing only on application code.

Experience:

  • Strong backend development experience, ideally TypeScript/Node.js/NestJS.
  • Good CI/CD experience, ideally GitLab CI.
  • Good experience with Docker and some practical Kubernetes experience.
  • Experience deploying and troubleshooting services, not just developing them locally.
  • A good understanding of testing, debugging, logging and monitoring.
  • Comfortable working across application and infrastructure/deployment areas.
  • Helm, Terraform and Azure/AKS experience would be useful, but I wouldn't make all of these hard requirements.
  • Experience with PostgreSQL, APIs and asynchronous/messaging systems would also be useful given the services we work with.

Nice to have:

  • Experience creating agentic development workflows or writing and maintaining AI skills.
  • npm workspaces / shared-package build systems.
  • Experience supporting SaaS platforms with strict data-privacy requirements (enterprise/multinational customers).
How we work:
  • We favor paved paths and sensible defaults over teams maintaining highly custom setups.
  • Simplicitiy - the art of maximising the amount of work not done - is essential.
  • Developers work end-to-end to solve customer problems, and our tooling encourages end-to-end workflows over platform components.
