About the team & opportunity


What’s so great about working on Calendly’s Engineering team?


We make things possible for our customers through innovation.


Why do we need you? Well, we are looking for a Staff Platform Engineer who will bring operational maturity, deep, hands-on subject-matter expertise with Go and the Kubernetes API, and a strong drive to make an impact. You will report to the Head of Infrastructure and will be responsible for successful delivery of Infrastructure roadmap objectives, with the goal of providing a self-service platform that allows product developers to independently operate Calendly’s services.


A day in the life of a Staff Platform Engineer at Calendly


On a typical day, you will be working on:



  • Designing and building tools and applications to extend Calendly’s infrastructure platform

  • Evaluating and guiding the development of applications across the organization

  • Exercising deep expertise in cloud infrastructure concepts and patterns

  • Offering and evangelizing patterns for application teams to consume for cloud native applications development

  • Fostering a collaborative environment of learning and knowledge dissemination


What do we need from you?



  • 10+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure and/or software development

  • 4+ years of experience leading technical projects

  • An eagerness and drive to teach, share your knowledge, and mentor others

  • Comfortable, and practiced, working directly with internal customers to understand needs/requirements and collaborate on solutions

  • Creative problem-solving, a keen eye for detail, and ability to deliver high quality solutions to complex issues

  • Strong Go (Golang) development experience; especially writing APIs to build, orchestrate and manage cloud infrastructure

  • Expert knowledge of patterns and principles for designing and implementing cloud native applications on Kubernetes, such as Controllers and Operators

  • Experience building applications on Temporal a plus

  • Deep experience designing, building, and running highly-available production applications

  • An understanding of the Linux operating system, and systems engineering fundamentals

  • Technical knowledge of cloud infrastructure (especially GCP), distributed systems, and reliability practices

  • Working knowledge of software and infrastructure tuning and observability (especially Datadog)

  • Availability for participation in on-call rotation, ensuring prompt and effective responses to business-critical alerts outside of regular working hours.

  • Authorized to work lawfully in the United States of America as Calendly does not engage in immigration sponsorship at this time

The ranges listed above are the expected annual base salary for this role, subject to change.


Calendly takes a number of factors into consideration when determining an employee’s starting salary, including relevant experience, relevant skills sets, interview performance, location/metropolitan area, and internal pay equity.


Base salary is just one component of Calendly’s total rewards package. All full-time (30 hours/week) employees are also eligible for our Top Performer Bonus program (or Sales incentive), equity awards, and competitive benefits.


Calendly uses the zip code of an employee’s remote work location, or the onsite building location if hybrid, to determine which metropolitan pay range we use. Current geographic zones are as follows:



  • Tier 1: San Francisco, CA, San Jose, CA, New York City, NY

  • Tier 2: Chicago, IL, Austin, TX, Denver, CO, Boston, MA, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, PA, Portland, OR, Seattle, WA, Miami, FL, and all other cities in CA.

  • Tier 3: All other locations not in Tier 1 or Tier 2

Calendly is registered as an employer in many, but not all, states.
