About Orunbase

Orunbase is a developer portal for platform discipline. We help engineering teams ship software that is well-structured, secure and maintainable from day one, with golden paths, guardrails and living documentation built into how they work.

About the Role

As a Forward Deployed Platform Engineer, you'll work most closely with our partners, the IT services and consulting firms in our partner program. You'll embed with their engineering teams, help them run client projects through our process, and make sure what they deliver holds up in production.

You'll also own and evolve the baselines at the core of the program. That includes maintaining Orunbase-managed baselines, helping partners build baselines that reflect their own practices, and contributing new ones as partners take on new kinds of projects.

Key Responsibilities

Partner enablement and delivery

Work alongside partner engineers to take client projects from kickoff to production using our delivery process

Stand up client workspaces, including environments, CI/CD, secrets management, database migrations, and promotion from staging to production

Set up observability and operational foundations so partners can confidently run what they deliver

Support partners through maintenance and ongoing development of delivered products

Baselines

Maintain and improve Orunbase-managed baselines, keeping them versioned, tested and current

Help partners turn their own engineering practices into baselines that can bootstrap new client workspaces

Contribute to building new baselines as partner needs grow

Production readiness and migrations

Help teams take applications built on AI app builders such as Lovable, Emergent and Base44 through to production, without rewriting them

Rework generated schemas into proper multi-tenant models, replace placeholder auth with real identity and permissions,



and move applications onto maintainable pipelines

Automation and feedback

Build tooling and agent skills that make each engagement faster than the last

Identify repeated work across clients and turn it into automated processes

Bring field insights back to the product team so we build what partners actually need

About the Partner Program

Our partner program works with IT services and consulting firms that build SaaS products for multiple clients. These firms face a familiar problem. Every new client project starts from scratch, quality depends on who happens to be staffed on it, and the same setup work gets repeated again and again.

We work alongside our partners to change that. Through the program, we provide:

Solutions guidance from our platform and SaaS engineering experience, so partners deliver products their clients can rely on

Baselines: production-ready SaaS starter kits that let a partner kick off a new client project in days rather than weeks, with quality standards already built in A delivery process that uses agentic development to move faster while keeping quality enforced, not optional

Automation that removes duplicated work across clients, so each new project benefits from everything learned on the last one

Ongoing support for delivered products as they move into maintenance and continued development

This is how successful IT services companies scale: they deliver consistently, reuse what works,



and spend their engineering effort on what's unique to each client. The program is already running with active partners, and we're growing the team that delivers it.

What We're Looking For

Around 6 years of experience in DevOps, SRE or platform engineering, though what you've built matters more to us than the number

Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, environment and secrets management, and running database migrations safely A solid understanding of SaaS architecture: tenant isolation and where it can leak, where authorisation belongs, how metering and billing tie to usage, and what a good audit trail looks like The ability to look at a system and see what will cause problems a year from now

Comfort reading and writing TypeScript, including code that was generated rather than handwritten

Experience working directly with customers or client teams, including the occasional difficult conversation

Clear written communication, since much of this role involves documentation and handover

Nice to Have

Experience with agentic development workflows or building agent skills

Prior experience building starter kits, templates or internal platforms used by multiple teams

Background in an IT services or consulting environment

What We Offer

Meaningful equity in an early-stage company

High ownership, with direct influence on how the partner program and product evolve

Work across a range of client projects and technical problems

Versatile working, with some travel to partner offices in Kerala and occasional calls at European hours

How to Apply

Send us something you've built, such as a platform, a starter kit, or a migration you've led, along with a few lines about it. We'd genuinely rather see your work than a CV.
