We’re committed to pushing boundaries and leaving our mark as we reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts.

We are the eBay Frameworks Team — we build the developer platforms that power eBay's engineering organization.

We’re looking for a Platform Engineer in Bangalore to help build and grow the Python Managed Stack — eBay's paved path for Python application lifecycle management on eBay Cloud. Reaching GA in mid-2026, this stack now powers 30+ applications across 13 domains.

We practice end-to-end engineering ownership

the team that builds the platform also tests, releases, operates, and supports it. This is an opportunity to shape an expanding platform alongside US and Shanghai-based teammates.

What You Will Accomplish

• Platform Development: Design, develop and maintain core Python modules used daily by internal engineers.
• Platform Certification, Releases, Upgrade Automation: Drive certifications, automated monthly releases, and Site-Wide Upgrades (SWU) to ensure secure, seamless deployments.
• Developer Support: Provide support to developers, debugging issues and triaging requests in our Slack channels.
• Support as a feedback loop: Turn recurring issues into platform capabilities, automation, tests, or documentation to reduce recurring support work.
• Containerization & Observability: Maintain base images (Ubuntu 24 + Python 3.12), optimize image registries, and embed out-of-the-box tracing (OpenTelemetry), metrics (Prometheus), and logging.
• Security & Auth: Integrate TrustFabric, OAuth, and secrets management directly into the framework layer.
• AI Tooling: Build AI-driven developer productivity tools (Python AI Assistant skills) and knowledge graphs.

What You Bring

• Experience: 3+ years in backend/platform software engineering.
• Core Python: Deep familiarity with Python 3.10+, type hints, async programming, and modern web frameworks (FastAPI, Flask).
• Delivery Engineering: Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines (Tekton, Jenkins).
• Tooling: Familiarity with Python dependency tools (Poetry, UV), packaging, and REST/OpenAPI.
• Ownership: Comfortable owning software beyond writing the code—testing, shipping, operating, supporting its users, and improving the platform based on what you learn.
• Collaboration: High developer empathy with strong written communication skills to partner across time zones.

Nice to Have

• Experience with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or Grafana/Sherlock.
• Background in Internal Developer Platforms

If you're excited about building robust, scalable platforms for developers at a global company, we'd love to hear from you.
