ABOUT US

Udacity is on a mission of forging futures in tech through radical talent transformation in digital technologies. We offer a unique and immersive online learning platform, powering corporate technical training in fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, Autonomous Systems, Cloud Computing and more. Our rapidly growing global organization is revolutionizing how the enterprise market bridges the talent shortage and skills gaps during their digital transformation journey.
The Platform Infrastructure team owns and operates core services that power the Udacity site. The Sign Up / Sign In and User Experiments services and internal API and Kafka usage are among the important services this team owns. Udacity is built on a microservices pattern, so reliable service-service APIs are important for application stability and developer productivity. Udacity follows the DevOps school of thought: always be automating, developers are on-call for their systems, and iterative improvement.
Most of our backend services are written in Go and most of our frontend applications are written in TypeScript using the React framework, but we are a multilingual shop and expect developers to be familiar with other languages and computing environments.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build and maintain new and existing infrastructure services which form the core building blocks for product engineers to use.
• Collaborate with product engineers across the company to identify and build new solutions to common problems.
• Own multiple projects and prioritize effectively to build new features and scale up existing ones.
• Encourage adoption of the team’s solutions throughout the engineering organization via collaboration, tech talks, promotion of best practices and continuous improvement through customer (engineer) feedback.
• Participate in on-call rotations for production incidents.

WHAT WE DO

Forging futures in tech is our vision. Udacity is where lifelong learners come to learn the skills they need, to land the jobs they want, and to build the lives they deserve.

DON’T STOP THERE! PLEASE KEEP READING…

You’ve probably heard the following statistic: Most male applicants only meet 60% of the qualifications, while women and other marginalized candidates only apply if they meet 100% of the qualifications. If you think you have what it takes but don’t meet every single point in the job description, please apply!
We believe that historically, many processes disproportionately hurt the most marginalized communities in society- including people of color, working-class backgrounds, women and LGBTQ people. Centering these communities at our core is pivotal for any successful organization and a value we uphold steadfastly. Therefore, Udacity strongly encourages applications from all communities and backgrounds.
