About the role
- Roles like this often combine "builder" energy with strong empathy for how engineers actually work.
Responsibilities
- Identify workflow bottlenecks (build/test/release/local dev) and build tools that measurably reduce toil.
- Create and maintain "golden paths" like service templates, CLIs, libraries, and automation that teams rely on.
- Design reusable CI pipelines and deployment workflows that are fast, safe, and easy to adopt across teams.
- Improve reliability of builds and tests (flake reduction, hermeticity, caching) and drive down cycle time.
- Support progressive delivery patterns (canary / blue-green) and safe rollback mechanisms.
- Partner with product engineers to improve operability: SLOs, alerting hygiene, dashboards, incident learnings.
- Build and improve core platform capabilities that make it easy to run and scale services.
- Own the systems you build end-to-end and help keep them healthy in production, improving reliability over time.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems and designing pipelines that are scalable and reusable across many repos/services.
- Practical experience with observability in production systems (instrumentation, alerting, dashboards, incident response).
- Comfort with containers and modern cloud infrastructure (e.g., Docker/Kubernetes and related tooling).
- Experience with monorepos and build systems and/or large-scale CI performance work.
