Description
At eBay, we're more than a global ecommerce leader — we’re changing the way the world shops and sells. Our platform empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets around the world. We’re committed to pushing boundaries and leaving our mark as we reinvent the future of ecommerce for enthusiasts.
Our customers are our compass, authenticity thrives, bold ideas are welcome, and everyone can bring their unique selves to work — every day. We're in this together, sustaining the future of our customers, our company, and our planet.
Join a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers — and help us connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all.
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.
