About the role

Your mission is to keep that system fast, trustworthy, observable, and affordable as the test suite, the team, and the resource pool all grow.
You'll work where CI, the runner fleet, and the test hardware meet, partnering closely with the infrastructure, compiler, runtime, simulator, and modelling teams.
At Senior/Staff level your impact is the velocity of every engineer who depends on this system - how fast they get a trustworthy signal, how rarely they wait on a machine or a flaky run, and how much they can self-serve without coming to you.

Manage the Fleet & Scarce Resources: Run CI across a heterogeneous fleet of cloud and self-hosted machines, and give the team fair, monitored, fail-fast shared access to scarce and expensive hardware - keeping it reliable, well-utilised, and never a silent bottleneck.
Own Software Observability: Choose the metrics store that scales to many series on daily runs with long-lived history, making dashboards for observable software.
Set Standards: Define the flows that keep builds and test runs hermetic and reproducible
Experience build/test infrastructure, CI/CD, developer-productivity, or large-scale systems / release engineering, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a big test or CI system.
Performance-analysis support: trustworthy regression baselines, determinism and noise handling, sound metric aggregation (geometric vs arithmetic mean vs median), and fast attribution and bisection.
Set Standards: Define the flows that keep builds and test runs hermetic and reproducible; and make the system fail closed and contain the blast radius when something is misconfigured or a job is untrusted.

Excellent communication and the ability to align and influence cross-functional teams (compiler, runtime, modelling) without relying on formal authority.
Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, or a related field.
