Improve developer experience through contract-first APIs, CI/CD, Kubernetes, and generated SDKs on Perplexity's API Platform.

As a software engineer building developer infrastructure, you will create the paved road from API concept to production. Your work will standardize service scaffolding, deployments, governance, documentation, and SDK generation. You will also operate the platform while keeping APIs ergonomic, well documented, and easy to adopt.

Key Responsibilities:

- Build standardized service scaffolding and container workflows
- Develop CI/CD pipelines with progressive delivery and rollback
- Implement contract-first schemas and breaking-change detection
- Create versioning, deprecation, SDK, and documentation workflows
- Unify billing, analytics, identity, and observability capabilities

Requirements:

- Five-plus years of backend engineering experience
- Experience owning CI/CD, containers, and infrastructure as code
- Knowledge of Kubernetes, Helm, and major cloud delivery
- Experience with API governance and contract-first design
- Solid customer empathy and product sense

Use platform engineering, API governance, and deployment expertise to make Perplexity APIs easier for developers and agents to adopt.
