About the role
- However, a salary higher or lower than this range may be appropriate for a candidate whose qualifications differ meaningfully from those listed in the job description.
Responsibilities
- Accelerate software delivery by designing and building internal tools and services that reduce friction for engineering teams.
- Own and evolve our CI/CD infrastructure, not just maintain it, but rethink how it should work as we scale
- Build and maintain paved paths: reusable patterns and templates that make the right defaults obvious and easy to follow
- Build release engineering tooling that gives engineers confidence and control over how their code ships
- Identify bottlenecks in developer workflows through close collaboration with engineering teams, then build lasting solutions, not workarounds
- Contribute to the architectural decisions that will shape how 200+ engineers build and ship software and images
- Participate in an on-call rotation and keep the systems you own well-documented, reliable, and observable
- Experience designing and building agentic workflows that automate meaningful parts of the software delivery lifecycle
- Our investors notably include TWG Global, US Innovative Technology Fund (USIT), Andra Capital, SGW, Andrej Karpathy, ARK Invest, Fincadia Advisors, G Squared, In-Q-Tel (IQT), KHK & Partners, NVIDIA, Pegatron, Supermicro, Wistron, Wiwynn, Gradient Ventures, Mercato Partners, SVB, 1517, and Crescent Cove
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in platform engineering, release engineering, developer tooling, or a closely related discipline
Nice to have
- Experience driving AI tooling adoption across an engineering org
- Led large-scale platform or tooling migrations
- Experience managing AWS environments at scale: accounts, permissions, and resource organization
- Familiarity with GPU infrastructure or high-performance computing environments
- Deep experience with CI/CD systems (e.g. Buildkite, GitHub Actions), not just configuring them, but extending and building on top of them
- Strong foundation in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and cloud environments (AWS or GCP)
- You write production-quality software and treat internal tooling as a product: real users, real quality standards, and things that actually get adopted (Go and/or Python preferred)
