About the role

What You'll Do

  • Improve speed and reliability of early change feedback
  • Invest in build and dependency tooling, caching, incremental builds, and monorepo ergonomics
  • Accelerate CI/CD pipelines - cutting build, test, and deploy times while keeping the path to production safe and reversible
  • Make test suites fast and trustworthy: parallelization, smart test selection, flaky-test detection, and better local/preview environments
  • Design and build tools to support concurrent agent execution
  • Make test feedback fast enough to live inside an agent's loop
  • Get agents the right context (codebase conventions, service ownership, recent changes, environment state)
  • Simplify and establish repeatable patterns
  • Reduce toil through automation, paving over repetitive workflows and manual steps
  • Instrument the engineering org with meaningful signals (deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, time to restore)
  • Build and participate in an on-call rotation

What We're Looking For

  • Experience building and operating developer-facing tooling, CI/CD systems, or internal platforms that other engineers depend on every day
  • Experience driving cultural and process changes to make engineering teams more effective
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping, maintaining, and debugging production systems
  • Proficiency in Go (or a strong willingness to ramp quickly)
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes or similar container orchestration
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform)
  • A bias toward measurement: instrument what you build and let data tell you whether you actually made things faster
  • Empathy with engineers, fixing developer pain points in an elegant and sustainable manner

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience improving build systems, test infrastructure, or developer experience at meaningful scale (Bazel, Concourse, GitHub workflows)
  • Familiarity with observability tools like Datadog, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry
  • Comfort working close to the metal - Linux, containers, kubernetes
  • Security-minded instincts, especially around supply chain and the path from commit to deploy
  • Understanding of where to use AI as an accelerant, and where human context must come first

Benefits

  • 4 weeks of paid vacation
  • 14 weeks of fully paid parental leave
  • Long-term disability, life insurance, and 401K plans
  • 100% employer-paid medical coverage and 99% employer-paid dental and vision coverage
  • FSAs and HSAs available
  • Monthly lifestyle stipend for wellness, mental health and therapy, hobbies
  • Monthly cell phone and internet subsidy
  • Commuter benefits for Bay Area, home office stipends for remote
  • Continuous learning benefits & related support
