ABOUT THE ROLE
Platform Engineering creates the technologies, tools, and services that enable engineers across Peloton to build faster and scale safely, with minimal effort. By maximizing developer velocity and simplifying the ability for our engineers to scale in a safe and performant manner, we enable engineers to innovate faster, accelerating Peloton's mission to use technology and design to connect the world through fitness, empowering people to be the best version of themselves anywhere, anytime.
We are looking for Software Engineers with strong technical ability in Python, Golang, Kubernetes and service scalability/reliability to help us stabilize and scale the core backend application that is (currently) powering the bulk of our backend systems. You will have the opportunity to dive into a highly visible and business critical system that enables our members to complete tens of thousands of workouts per day. You will also be at the forefront of enabling engineering teams to migrate functionality into new microservices and our new Multi-cluster environment with confidence. Finally, you will be responsible for ensuring that this system can scale appropriately during times of extreme stress - typically observed during special occasions (such as “Turkey Burn” on Thanksgiving) or when celebrities drop in to our studios. This team has a very broad scope and operates over components across the entire stack - from Cloudflare (on the edge) all the way down to caching and connection pooling strategies for SQL / NoSQL databases + caching technologies.
