Developer at Yandex Platform Engineering

Yandex develops hundreds of products, with thousands of developers working on them, creating tens of thousands of commits and pull requests daily. Building a convenient infrastructure for product development and operation at this scale is a significant challenge.

Our solutions are aimed at ensuring that any Yandex project receives ready-made infrastructure at all production stages: we have our own version control system for storing source code, distributed build and continuous integration systems for C++, Java, Python, and Go capable of processing hundreds of builds per minute, a code review system, a distributed task execution system, and application deployment and monitoring systems. We also develop products to support development processes, resource planning, and many other systems and tools.

We invite you to participate in creating and evolving the tools that enable high-speed, high-quality development.

What tasks await you

Develop high-load services Our systems are not just services but critical infrastructure for all of Yandex. Your code will process tens and hundreds of thousands of requests per minute on tasks such as building a project from a commit, running tests, deploying an application, and analyzing metrics. You will work on fault tolerance, low latency, and horizontal scaling of services, using technologies like gRPC, Kafka, and internal Yandex solutions.

Participate in system design We design architecture that must be reliable and scalable for years to come. You will participate in design sessions and code reviews, discuss and propose solutions that will influence the development of the entire infrastructure platform. You will make architectural decisions, choose technologies and interaction protocols, and lay the foundation for future Yandex product capabilities.

Interact with related teams and users Our users are fellow developers from Yandex teams. You will communicate with them directly.

You will work closely with related teams to create holistic and effective solutions. This requires the ability to listen, negotiate, and speak the same language as other engineers.
