The position sits within a dedicated platform organization, partnering closely with infrastructure, security, and product engineering groups to improve CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and developer workflows. You will design and evolve tooling that reduces friction in the development lifecycle, from local development to production deployment. This is a highly impactful role for an engineer passionate about automation, platform engineering, and creating seamless developer experiences. You will also contribute to defining engineering best practices and enabling secure-by-default, high-quality software delivery across the organization.
Accountabilities:
- Design, build, and maintain core developer platforms and internal tooling, including CI/CD pipelines, build systems, test infrastructure, and code quality frameworks.
- Improve engineering efficiency by reducing build and test times, eliminating flaky processes, and optimizing developer workflows end-to-end.
- Own and drive key roadmap initiatives, defining success metrics, delivering solutions, and ensuring strong observability and operational excellence.
- Implement secure-by-default development practices in collaboration with security and infrastructure teams, including automated checks and policy enforcement.
- Lead cross-functional technical initiatives spanning multiple engineering teams, influencing architecture and ensuring consistent engineering standards.
- Mentor engineers and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and technical excellence across the organization.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production-grade systems.
- 3+ years of experience focused on developer tooling, internal platforms, CI/CD pipelines, or build systems.

- Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems and build tools such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins, Bazel, or similar technologies.
- Experience deploying and operating services in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes or equivalent).
- Proven ability to improve key engineering metrics such as deployment frequency, build time, or test reliability.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills with experience working across infrastructure, security, and product engineering teams.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- Familiarity with monorepos, infrastructure-as-code, observability tools, and platform automation is a strong plus.
