About the role
We build Frontstage, TomTom's developer portal based on Backstage, and Watchtower, the service that collects data behind it. Together they help engineering teams see what software they own and how it is doing, for example on security, quality and cost.
What you'll do:
- Join a friendly team of engineers and pick up a project of your own, with a mentor to guide you
- Help build new pages and scorecards in Frontstage using TypeScript and React
- Help extend Watchtower, our TypeScript and PostgreSQL backend, with new data sources and APIs
- Work on features that matter to our users, for example showing teams what their services cost on our Kubernetes platform
- Help keep Frontstage up to date with new Backstage releases
- Participate in the full cycle: understanding what users need, designing a solution, building, testing and releasing it
- Build iteratively using agile methodologies, with your code reviewed by the team
