Senior Platform Engineer – Dev Environment & Reliability

Developer Platform, Productivity & Experience Engineering | eBay

About the Team

The Developer Platform, Productivity & Experience Engineering team within eBay’s Global Technology organization builds and operates eBay’s AI/ML-powered Internal Developer Platform (IDP).

Our portfolio includes:

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

Our mission is to remove friction from the software development and delivery lifecycle and enable engineers to deliver secure, high-quality software quickly and safely at scale.

About the Role

We are hiring Senior Platform Engineers to modernize and scale eBay’s development and staging environments — mission-critical infrastructure that underpins software delivery and forms a core foundation of our Internal Developer Platform (IDP).

Instability in development environments directly impacts pipeline success and developer productivity. In this role, you will drive reliability improvements, reduce systemic friction, and ensure our infrastructure scales securely and efficiently as eBay grows.

What You’ll Do

Design and build microservices (Java / Spring Boot) that extend and integrate with eBay’s IDP
Develop intuitive front-end experiences for the Internal Developer Platform using React
Build, operate, and scale Kubernetes-based development environments
Design automated, reproducible, and highly reliable dev/staging infrastructure
Reduce pipeline failures caused by environment dependencies
Drive automation and operational excellence through Python scripting
Strengthen the scalability, resilience, and performance of eBay’s Internal Developer Platform

What You’ll Bring

Proven experience building microservices using Java / Spring Boot
Frontend development experience with React
Strong Python scripting and automation skills
Deep expertise in Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure
Strong distributed systems and platform engineering fundamentals
High ownership mindset with focus on reliability, scalability, and developer productivity

This is a hands-on Platform Engineering role focused on designing and building critical developer infrastructure — not a QE, administrator, or support role.
