The Developer Platform team is responsible for empowering all of Lattice’s engineers to be productive and happy. We are passionate about building comprehensive systems, automated tools, and extensible frameworks that facilitate the entire development and release lifecycle.

Our product engineers iterate rapidly and deploy new code several times each day. We ensure that they can develop, test and deploy high-quality code safely, at scale, and with confidence, so they can focus on building a product our customers love.

Who you are

You have 7+ years of professional experience writing and maintaining production-level applications with a passion for shipping high-quality software and working with cross-functional stakeholders.

• You can work with whichever programming language is required to get the job done — JavaScript, Python, Go, or others — and are proficient in at least one.
• You care deeply about the quality of the software/systems you build and always look to improve your craft. At the same time, you are able to strike the right balance between idealism and pragmatism.
• You are passionate about driving the adoption of best practices in code health, testing, and maintainability, and solving complex problems using data-driven solutions.
• You seek out the root cause when debugging software defects and champion improvements that prevent future issues.
• You researched, proposed, and implemented new technology or process with measurable positive impact.
• You are maddened by inefficiency and averse to toil. The thought of taking a frustrating process and making it elegant sounds appealing. You have a bias towards automation and a desire to make your fellow engineers more productive.
• You built, shipped, monitored, and supported tooling, automation, and/or services with other engineers as your customers at scale.
• You set up and administered common 3rd party and open source development tools and have experience with configuration management systems, infrastructure as code, secrets management, and application error tracking and monitoring.

You’re a great communicator and collaborator.

• You take care to write code that your colleagues will also own, understand, and maintain.
• You are a team player and get motivated by helping other engineers succeed. When things break, you are eager and able to help fix things. You like thinking of ways to improve efficiency or bring delight to the people you work with.
• You’re clear and concise in illustrating your thought process and in enumerating the tradeoffs made in your work.
• You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener. You have an uncanny ability to explain complex technical concepts to senior leadership, program managers, product managers, and other engineers.
• You value an inclusive culture and have a passion for sharing knowledge with your peers.

You enjoy taking an active role in the development process, have experience leading large-scale initiatives, and strive to continuously improve engineering practices.

• You can inspire other people to work with you and love mentoring and supporting fellow software engineers within the team and organization.
• You have experience taking the lead in planning and executing the development roadmap for complex software projects, including those that span multiple teams or services.
• You act like an owner and strive to do work you're proud of, both technically and in your team interactions.
• You are known for influencing and improving the quality of software that distributed development teams deliver.
• You make the engineering team more effective through the pragmatic application of useful code tools and patterns.
• You proactively identify opportunities to improve the maintainability, scalability, and reliability of business-critical systems.

Responsibilities

We are looking for engineers who are passionate about solving engineering productivity challenges, value craftsmanship and quality, and have deep empathy for other developers. As a member of our team, you will work with fellow engineers to define, instrument, and interpret key productivity metrics. Plus, you will have the autonomy to create, extend, or find tools that best address constantly changing engineering needs as we rapidly scale our product and organization.

We work on a wide range of tech (prior experience with any of these tools is a bonus, but not a must). This includes shared tooling for linting (ESLint), formatting (Prettier), and type checking (TypeScript), as well as automation and services for continuous integration (CircleCI), package management (pnpm), build systems (esbuild, bun, SWC), security scanners (Snyk, FOSSA), database migrations (Sqitch), code quality (Danger JS), and the local development setup (Docker, Bash, make).
