Full Stack Platform Engineer

About the Team

The Developer Platform, Productivity & Experience Engineering team within eBays Global Technology (CT) builds and operates the AI/ML-powered eBay Developer Platform.

Our scope includes:

• Continuous Delivery platform
• Enterprise Testing platform
• AI-driven no-code/low-code developer tools
• Developer Productivity and Engineering Velocity platforms

Our mission is to eliminate friction in the software development and delivery lifecycle and enable engineers to ship high-quality software at scale.

About the Role

We are seeking a strong Platform Engineer ( 4 to 6 years ) with hands-on experience building distributed systems and modern web applications.

You will:

• Design and develop scalable microservices and backend systems
• Build frontend applications for internal developer platforms (React preferred)
• Architect distributed systems that operate reliably at scale
• Develop platform capabilities that power CI/CD, testing, and developer workflows

Your work will directly impact how thousands of engineers build, test, and release software at eBay.

What Youll Bring

• Strong programming fundamentals and system design skills
• Experience building microservices and distributed systems in production
• Experience with Java/Kotlin and Spring Boot
• Experience building REST APIs and event-driven systems
• Frontend development experience (React preferred)
• Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native systems
• Experience with Tekton and CI/CD systems is a plus
• Experience building testing or contract-testing frameworks is a plus

Strong ownership mindset, collaboration skills, and a passion for improving developer experience are essential.

Role Clarification

This is a Platform Engineering role requiring hands-on development of microservices, distributed systems, and frontend applications.

It is not a Quality Engineering (QE) or DevOps role. Engineers on this team own the systems they build end-to-end including designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality automated tests (unit, integration, end-to-end, performance, and reliability). There are no separate QE roles within most teams at eBay; quality is built in and owned by the engineers developing the software.
