Sr. Software Engineer I

127k – 191kUnited StatesRemote
Summary

Senior Software Engineer building and evolving CI/CD tooling, driving Ruby/Rails upgrades, standardizing authentication, and enabling platform self-service in a PAAS environment. Requires expertise in release engineering, Kubernetes, and Ruby ecosystem.

About the role

You Will

Own and evolve CI/CD "paved road" tooling

  • Build and maintain reliable, scalable CI/CD workflows (guardrails, automation, reusable patterns/templates).
  • Enhance Backstage as the unified developer portal, improving CI/CD visibility, deployment tracking, and self-service workflows.
  • Improve developer feedback loops: reduce flaky pipelines, speed up builds/tests, and increase observability of the release toolchain.
  • Operationally support release tooling (triage, incident follow-ups, preventative improvements).

Drive Ruby/Rails platform upgrades (monolith + ecosystem)

  • Lead or heavily contribute to Ruby and Rails upgrade efforts, including:
    • Coordinating cross-repo changes (application, Docker/CI images, shared gems, test strategy).
    • Creating safe rollout plans (canaries, staged deploys, rollback paths) and enabling other teams through docs/runbooks.

Platform enablement

  • Build and improve self-service tooling and Golden Path workflows through Backstage, CI/CD templates, and standardized patterns so service teams can safely own their own infra, config, and auth changes without gatekeepers.
  • Help standardize and operationalize Auth0 and other authentication/authorization patterns across environments.
  • Partner with service teams to drive Golden Path adoption, unblock migrations, and turn platform investments into org-wide leverage.

Embrace AI to accelerate delivery and improve developer experience

  • Use AI-assisted development responsibly to increase throughput and quality (e.g., faster iteration, better testing strategies, improved docs/runbooks).
  • Help the org adopt AI tools safely and effectively by sharing best practices and patterns.

You Have

  • CI/CD, Release Engineering, (Buildkite/Backstage)
  • ArgoCD, Kubernetes
  • Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Bundler, dependency management
  • Runtime/framework upgrades (Ruby upgrades, Rails upgrades)
  • Auth0 (or similar IdP), OAuth/OIDC concepts, M2M authentication
  • Terraform / infrastructure-as-code (nice-to-have)
  • Observability, on-call/operational support, incident analysis
  • AI-assisted development (Cursor, Claude Code) and best-practice sharing
  • Working experience in a PAAS environment

Compensation: Base salary range $127,000-$191,000 plus bonus potential.
