Software Engineer, Delivery / CD
Builds and operates continuous deployment platforms for safe, rapid code rollouts across Kubernetes clusters and global regions. Focuses on progressive delivery, GitOps, automation, and AI-assisted workflows to boost developer productivity.
About the job
In This Role, You Will
- Design and build continuous deployment infrastructure that safely rolls out changes across dozens of Kubernetes clusters and global regions.
- Develop systems for progressive delivery, including canary releases, staged rollouts, and automated rollback.
- Improve engineering velocity by reducing friction in the release pipeline and automating manual operational workflows.
- Work with product and infrastructure teams to ensure their services are deployable, observable, and resilient at scale.
- Implement and evolve deployment methodologies such as GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, and progressive delivery patterns.
- Build systems that automatically evaluate deployment health using metrics, logs, traces, and alerts to detect regressions and trigger safe rollbacks.
- Build systems that support agent-assisted or autonomous deployment workflows using modern AI tooling.
Technologies commonly used in this environment include:
- Kubernetes for large-scale container orchestration and runtime infrastructure
- Python and FastAPI for internal services
- Terraform for infrastructure as code
- GitOps-based deployment workflows (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux, or similar systems)
- Buildkite for CI orchestration
You may be a strong fit if you:
- Have worked with Kubernetes-based deployment systems at scale
- Have experience building or operating continuous deployment platforms
- Are familiar with GitOps tooling such as ArgoCD or Flux
- Are excited about building AI-assisted systems and agents that intelligently shepherd software changes from commit to safe production rollout.
- Care deeply about safe production rollouts and minimizing blast radius
- Enjoy building internal platforms that improve developer productivity across the organization
