You cant help it: you see something that needs to be fixed and you try to fix it. You want to pop open the hood and see how it really works underneath. You dont just want to get it going again you want to improve it so that it doesnt break in that particular way again.

Here at Solaces Platform Engineering team we believe the best platform engineers are generalists. That in order to build reliable resilient and anti-fragile systems you need to understand how systems fail and how to fix them. Were looking for new grads with the potential to become expert troubleshooters and help us build our cloud infrastructure.

This is an in-person role for new college graduates in our Redwood City office 3 days a week. Start date: July 2027.

• Help product and data engineers with their tooling and the internal developer platform

• Help monitor systems health and triage signals

• Participate in troubleshooting and applying fixes for outages along with the entire platform engineering team. While we dont expect you to run solo on-call we do expect you to tag along when systems break.

Maybe youre already hosting something for a club or for your friends. Maybe you tried building a homelab and the parts that broke taught you more than the parts that worked. Maybe youve shipped a class assignment and then found yourself more interested in what it was promising to everything around it where it would fail who would notice what depended on it.

Good infrastructure is like good plumbing. It works quietly fails loudly. Come tell us about what youve built and what youve learned along the way.
