CI Engineer

What You'll Do

• Own and proactively improve our GitHub Actions-based CI pipelines — not just fixing what breaks, but anticipating bottlenecks and reliability issues before they impact the team
• Triage and resolve flaky tests across a large, multi-layered test suite spanning unit, integration, and end-to-end tests — identifying systemic patterns, not just one-off fixes
• Support ongoing releases and take ownership of improving the release process over time
• Act as a first responder to emergent CI infrastructure issues, diagnosing and resolving them quickly and independently
• Support product engineers who are writing tests using Cypress, Jest, and our home-grown Clojure-based test frameworks
• Manage test infrastructure across a wide matrix of databases — we test against nearly all major transactional and analytical cloud databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, and more
• Document and communicate clearly and asynchronously across a globally distributed team — and keep the broader engineering team informed about the state of CI health without being asked, as well as communicating and demonstrating best practices.

What We're Looking For

• Demonstrated experience working with CI/CD systems in a professional engineering environment — you don't need to be a 10-year veteran, but you need to have done this work, done it well, and owned it
• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset — you notice things that are heading in the wrong direction and fix them without waiting to be asked
• The independence to manage your own priorities and operate effectively without close supervision across a globally distributed team
• Solid understanding of GitHub Actions or comparable CI platforms
• Experience with JavaScript testing tools, particularly Cypress and/or Jest
• Comfort with containerization (Docker) — our database test matrix depends on it
• Solid shell scripting skills (Bash)
• Experience diagnosing and fixing flaky tests in large test suites
• Strong async written communication skills — this is a remote-first, globally distributed team
• Curiosity and a systematic approach to debugging unfamiliar systems

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Clojure and TypeScript
• Experience testing against or operating cloud data warehouses or analytical databases
• Experience building and supporting software release pipelines
