About the role

The line worth reading twice is that you decide what the paved path should look like and then convince the rest of the company to walk it. Platform work at GitHub's scale is persuasion as much as engineering, and the posting is honest about it.

The internal developer platform: paved paths, golden-path templates, development environments, and fleet-wide agentic systems that detect drift, open fixes and upgrade hundreds of services on their own. US remote, primarily Go with Ruby in the mix. The team measures itself by friction removed for other engineers.
