Backstage Platform Developer

Ciklum is looking for a Backstage Platform Developer to join our team in Argentina.

We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.

About the role:

As a Backstage Platform Developer you will help our client to move away from manual, multi-team provisioning cycles toward an Active Site Blueprint. We need an Engineer to build the "Golden Path" for site bootstrapping—an automated, 1-click process that provisions MSF networking, compute, and storage on Azure while surfaceable via their developer portal.

Responsibilities:

• Blueprint Engineering: Use Terraform to architect a modular "Goal State" engine for Azure that enables atomic cloning, diffing, and environment iteration
• Backstage Integration: Develop Node.js-based plugins or scaffolder actions within Backstage to provide a self-service UI for site and ring provisioning
• Automated State Reconciliation: Build the logic (via pipelines and controllers that leverage ArgoCD, Flux, OpenTofu, Helm Umbrella charts) that synchronizes the "Goal State" Blueprint into "Actual State" Azure resources
• Service Catalog Ownership: Extend the Backstage Service Catalog to track MSF footprints, providing visibility into pending, active, and deprecated sites
• Migration (Phase 2): Lead the transition of legacy sites into the new Blueprint framework, ensuring zero-downtime and configuration parity
• Strategic Impact:
  • TTM Reduction: Reduce Site/Ring provisioning from 6-9 months to <1 month
  • Operational Excellence: Achieve "Human Cost = 0" for subsequent site runs through Blueprint automation
  • Big Bet Alignment: Support Trust, Cost Optimization, and Dev Experience initiatives through a unified source of truth

Requirements:

• Terraform & Azure: Advanced expertise in the Azure Provider (azurerm). You should be comfortable with complex VNet peering, Managed Identities, and remote state management at scale
• Node.js Development: Strong backend TypeScript/JavaScript skills to customize the Backstage backend and build custom Scaffolder actions
• Backstage (IDP): Direct experience with the Backstage Software Catalog and Scaffolder. You know how to write template.yaml files and integrate them with GitHub/GitLab/Azure DevOps
• CI/CD & GitOps: Mastery of automated PR workflows. You aim to eliminate manual "PR errors" through automated validation and policy-as-code
• Cloud Architecture: Deep understanding of cloud-native networking, compute, and storage scaling in high-compliance environments (e.g., IL5)

What`s in it for you?

• Care: your mental and physical health is our priority. We ensure comprehensive company-paid medical insurance and mental health programs, 5 undocumented sick-leave days per year
• Tailored education path: boost your skills and knowledge with our regular internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy license, language courses and company-paid certifications
• Growth environment: share your experience and level up your expertise with a community of skilled professionals, locally and globally
• Long-term employment with 20 working-days paid vacation and local bank holidays
• Flexibility: 100% remote work mode
• Opportunities: we value our specialists and always find the best options for them. Our Internal Mobility Program helps change a project if needed to help you grow, excel professionally and fulfill your potential
• Global impact: work on large-scale projects that redefine industries with international and fast-growing clients
• Welcoming environment: feel empowered with a friendly team, open-door policy, informal atmosphere within the company and regular team-building events
