About Pinecone

Pinecone is pioneering search and database technology to power AI/ML applications for the next decade and beyond. We provide customers with capabilities that until now have only been in the hands of a few tech giants. Our R&D team includes founders of multiple startups and world-class engineers including the core team that created Amazon SageMaker.

We value integrity, passion, pushing boundaries, real-world problem solving, and a sense of humor. We work in collaboration, and encourage new ideas and initiatives.

About the Team and Role:

As a Platform Engineer (Developer Velocity) at Pinecone, you will be responsible for the end-to-end management of our platform infrastructure towards improving the velocity of our entire engineering team. This can involve build processes, testing automation, developer tooling, deployment pipelines, and overall infrastructure reliability. You will work closely with all engineering teams to ensure our platform is scalable, secure, and robust, supporting the rapid development and deployment of our applications. Speed is one of our cultural tenants

In this role, you will work on:

  • Developer experience:

    • We work closely with software engineers to align platform engineering efforts with development goals, ensuring seamless integration and support.

    • We build and maintain tools such as CLIs and manage development environments to streamline workflows and enhance productivity.

    • Communicating platform processes, configurations, and best practices ensures knowledge sharing through documentation and continuity, while providing support and guidance on building, testing, and deploying applications.

  • Deployments:

    • We build our systems on top of Kubernetes and Cloud Run, with underlying infrastructure managed by Pulumi.

    • Our deployment process utilizes Kubernetes tooling, including Helm, Helmfile, and ArgoCD, to ensure smooth and efficient operations.

    • Using cloud-native technologies allows us to move fast while being present in different clouds.

  • Builds:

    • We manage a monorepo with multiple projects, requiring efficient build automation to ensure a quick feedback cycle by building only necessary artifacts.

    • Our cross-platform environment necessitates building binaries for Intel and ARM architectures, utilizing containerization with technologies such as Docker builds, container registries, and image scanning.

    • We focus on building robust Rust and Python applications to drive our core functionalities.

  • Testing:

    • We develop and maintain comprehensive automated testing frameworks, covering unit tests, integration tests, API tests, and property-based tests to ensure high-quality software releases.

    • Automated tests are integrated into the CI/CD pipeline to catch issues early, while also ensuring that tests can be run quickly both locally and in CI environments.

    • Testing distributed systems comes with unique challenges, and collaboration with engineering teams ensures comprehensive test coverage and effective solutions.

  • Infrastructure:

    • We design, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and high-performance infrastructure across multiple cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), tackling the complexities of cross-cloud environments.

    • Infrastructure as code (IaC) practices are implemented using tools like Pulumi, Helm, and Kubernetes to ensure consistency and efficiency.

    • Monitoring infrastructure health, performance, and security is crucial, with proactive measures taken to address any issues and maintain robust operations.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

  • 2+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, or a similar role.

  • Strong proficiency in managing CI/CD pipelines and build automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI).

  • Hands-on experience with automated testing frameworks and tools.

  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and cloud-native services.

  • Proficiency in infrastructure as code (IaC) tools such as Pulumi and Helm.

  • Solid programming skills (e.g., Python, Java, Rust, C++). We build automation and tooling using Rust and Python.

  • Strong understanding of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) technologies.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Perks & Benefits:

  • Comprehensive health coverage including Medical, Dental, Vision

  • Free mental health therapy sessions; free One Medical, Tela-doc, and Health Advocate subscriptions

  • Cost-savings on gynecology, fertility, and family-building care

  • Equity award
