• Strong hands-on experience building and extending Backstage backend services, including plugins and platform integrations.

• Comfort working in a product like platform where the output is internal developer experience, not just an API.

Node.js + TypeScript (Primary)

• Production-grade Node.js engineering (prefer TypeScript), including:
• API design, middleware patterns, authentication/authorization integration
• Observability, logging, performance tuning, and reliability practices
• Experience operating within an ecosystem of plugin modules and shared libraries (ideal for Backstage plugin development patterns).

Python (Secondary but Important)

• Ability to build and maintain Python services and automation components used alongside Backstage (e.g., workflow helpers, automation scripts, integration services).
• Experience with Python API frameworks and developer templates (relevant as DevX templates span Python/Node/Java).

Platform Integration Skills (Strongly Preferred)

• IDP / Developer Portal Integrations
• Practical experience integrating Backstage with common enterprise developer systems and/or plugins (examples reflected in internal Backstage roadmap material): CI/CD, code quality, observability, ticketing, knowledge bases, calendars/forms, etc.
• Capability to implement/extend scaffolder actions and platform-specific modules (e.g., internal publish actions and helper modules). Golden Paths / Template Standardization Experience designing standardized “golden path” workflows and consolidating fragmented templates into consistent scaffolders across languages.
• Appreciation for consistency requirements like using OpenAPI-first patterns for API templates.
