Team: Pipeline Squad
Product: Jetstream — PTC's Atlas SaaS collaboration platform
About the team: The Pipeline squad owns the infrastructure, build, release, and security foundations that every other Jetstream squad builds on top of. Jetstream is a NestJS + Angular monorepo deployed into Azure Kubernetes via Helm, shipped through GitLab CI/CD, and running on the wider PTC Atlas platform. We're the squad that makes shipping fast, safe, and boring so product squads can focus on features.
What you'll do:
- Own the CI/CD pipeline. Evolve our GitLab pipeline (test → build → security → deploy) across Atlas dev, staging, and prod. Cut build times, tame flaky jobs, and keep the path from merge to production short and trustworthy.
- Raise the developer experience bar. Reduce local-setup friction across the monorepo (npm workspaces, Docker Compose stacks, kind clusters, Atlas IAM/Org fakes). If a workflow makes an engineer wait or guess, you fix it.
- Manage infrastructure as code. Extend Terraform-managed infra (Azure, networking, secrets) via reviewed MRs and CI — no hand-run terraform/az. Own the Helm chart and per-environment values.
- Embed security into the pipeline. Integrate and streamline automated security scanning tools.
- Build tooling and paved paths. Write the scripts, generators, templates, and docs that turn one-off tribal knowledge into self-serve, reliable defaults.
What we're looking for:
Required:- Strong CI/CD experience with a modern platform (GitLab CI preferred; GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc. transferable).
- Solid Kubernetes and Helm in production, plus containerization with Docker.
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform, ideally on Azure (AKS, ACR, Entra Workload Identity, Service Bus).
- Comfort in a TypeScript/Node monorepo — you can read and improve build/test setups even if you don't ship product features daily.
- A DevEx mindset: you measure toil, empathise with the engineers you serve, and treat internal tooling as a real product.
- Security-conscious by default: least privilege, secrets hygiene, supply-chain awareness.
- Observability tooling (Grafana, Prometheus).
- Experience creating agentic development workflows or writing and maintaining AI skills.
- npm workspaces / shared-package build systems.
- Experience supporting SaaS platforms with strict data-privacy requirements (enterprise/multinational customers).
How we work:
- We favour paved paths and sensible defaults over teams maintaining highly custom setups.
- Simplicity - the art of maximising the amount of work not done - is essential.
- Developers work end-to-end to solve customer problems, and our tooling encourages end-to-end workflows over platform components.
