📋 Description

• Design, build, and operate CI/CD systems and software delivery pipelines for software that runs both on device and in the cloud. • Lead the design and architecture of internal platform capabilities across build, test, deployment, workflow automation, and developer tooling. • Make hands-on technical decisions about platform design, abstraction boundaries, and system tradeoffs based on the team’s current stage, scale, and operational needs. • Improve developer productivity by shortening feedback loops across build, test, debugging, environment setup, and release-adjacent workflows. • Build self-serve paved-road workflows that reduce manual effort and make common engineering tasks fast, reliable, and easy to adopt. • Use AI-native tooling and automation to improve engineering workflows, failure triage, and developer output quality. • Build secure-by-default platform capabilities, including access controls, secrets and credential handling, artifact permissions, auditability, and policy enforcement in software delivery workflows. • Partner closely with product, systems, release, quality, and infrastructure teams to understand pain points and turn them into durable platform improvements. • Define and track metrics for platform health and engineering effectiveness, including build times, queue times, failure rates, flaky failures, and deployment lead time. • Guide engineering teams on pragmatic observability, reliability, and scalability choices for the systems they build. • Participate in the on-call rotation for the systems owned by the team.

🎯 Requirements

• Have 7+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years building developer productivity, CI/CD, internal platform, or engineering systems. • Have deep experience designing and operating robust CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and software delivery infrastructure for complex products. • Have a strong track record of personally building platform features and workflow improvements that materially increased engineering velocity, reliability, or developer experience. • Have experience making architectural decisions for internal platforms, including when to standardize, when to abstract, and when to keep systems simple. • Have experience adapting technical decisions to the maturity and scaling stage of an organization, balancing speed, reliability, maintainability, and adoption. • Have working knowledge of secure software delivery practices such as least-privilege access, secrets management, policy enforcement, auditability, or software supply chain hardening. • Have strong empathy for the tools, workflows, and frustrations that create toil or slow engineering teams down. • Are comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments and bringing structure where needed. • Communicate clearly and work effectively across teams with different priorities, constraints, and technical needs.

🏖️ Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts • Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses (parking and transit) • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match • Paid parental leave (up to 24 weeks for birth parents and 20 weeks for non-birthing parents), plus paid medical and caregiver leave (up to 8 weeks) • Paid time off: flexible PTO for exempt employees and up to 15 days annually for non-exempt employees • 13+ paid company holidays, and multiple paid coordinated company office closures throughout the year for focus and recharge, plus paid sick or safe time (1 hour per 30 hours worked, or more, as required by applicable state or local law) • Mental health and wellness support • Employer-paid basic life and disability coverage • Annual learning and development stipend to fuel your professional growth • Daily meals in our offices, and meal delivery credits as eligible • Relocation support for eligible employees • Additional taxable fringe benefits, such as charitable donation matching and wellness stipends, may also be provided.
