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, strong software engineering expertise, deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes and its APIs, 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.
