Senior Platform Software Engineer - Developer Platform

Preply is a unicorn EdTech company that connects learners with tutors. The Platform Tribe builds and operates the platform that Preply engineers develop and deploy on. As part of the Developer Platform team, you'll focus on CI/CD, developer experience, and AI-native development.

• Build and improve CI/CD systems, testing capabilities, and paved paths that enable engineers to ship quickly and safely.
• Own and evolve the developer journey from writing code through testing and deployment.
• Build internal platforms, services, and developer tooling to turn developer experience friction into scalable engineering solutions.
• Provide the infrastructure and paved paths that let both engineers and coding agents build, test and ship autonomously.
• Use AI and agentic workflows to rethink and improve the software development lifecycle, and set up the quality gates and safety nets that keep them trustworthy.
• Operate what you build: take part in the team's support and incident rotation, and use data and developer feedback to measure and continuously improve the platform.
• Partner with engineering teams as the users of the platform, driving adoption of your tooling and aligning stakeholders across squads so changes land smoothly.

• CI/CD depth: strong hands-on experience building and operating CI/CD systems and pipelines at scale, including the reliability, performance and cost trade-offs that come with them.
• Extensive experience (~8 years) designing and building complex backend software systems.
• Software engineering skills, including Python, which we use to build platform services, developer tooling and automation. You do not need to be a Python-first backend engineer, but you should be productive in it.
• AI Expertise: You're a forefront user of Agentic AI. You're able to bring hands-on experience and start influencing the team beyond code generation; reserving judgment for architecture, business logic, and security, using AI as a thought partner and being able to set up quality gates and safety nets to enhance existing engineering workflows and propose AI-native alternatives.
• Experience building developer platforms, internal developer tooling, developer productivity or developer experience solutions.
• Experience designing platforms and tooling for engineers as internal users, with a strong understanding of developer needs and workflows.
• Familiarity with cloud-native environments and distributed systems.
• Business-orientation and data-driven approach.
• Strong communication skills. Minimum C1 English level.

• Open, collaborative, dynamic and diverse culture.
• Generous monthly allowance for lessons on Preply.com.
• Learning & Development budget, including time off for your self-development.
• Competitive financial package with equity, and leave allowance.
• Opportunity to shape the lives of learners and tutors from over 175 countries through language learning and teaching.
