Full Job Description
About Lovable & the Apps Platform Lovable is an AI-powered software creation platform. Millions of users use Lovable to go from idea to working application, generating hundreds of thousands of apps every day. The Lovable Apps Platform is what makes those generated apps actually run in production. The moment a user hits deploy, the Apps Platform takes over — provisioning the database, handling user auth, storing files, serving the app over a custom domain, capturing logs, and metering usage. It's the full backend and hosting layer for every app built on Lovable, designed so creators never have to think about infrastructure to ship something real. The Apps Platform is growing fast, and we're investing heavily in each layer of the stack — building deeper ownership over the services that power our users' apps so we can move faster, scale better, and shape the product experience us and our users actually want. The Role We’re looking for software engineers with a platform mindset to work on the app runtime, deployment pipeline, and the composable managed services we purchase and operate. Some foundational services we buy from 3p partners, others are not available for purchase and you would be the first in the world to build them at scale. You'll keep these services running reliably, manage vendor relationships and migrations, and ensure operational excellence across the stack. What You'll Do - Own the app hosting and deployment pipeline — the runtime that serves user applications in production - Manage and operate composable managed services for storage, logging, workflows etc - Build and maintain custom domains infrastructure, ensuring reliable SSL provisioning and DNS management at scale - Drive vendor evaluation, onboarding, and migration as we continue decomposing our platform from a bundled BaaS to best-of-breed individual services - Establish operational excellence practices: monitoring, alerting, incident response, runbooks, and capacity planning across all managed
