What You'll Do:
-

Own and re-architect our CI/CD pipeline end to end, across three language ecosystems.

-

Find where engineering time actually goes — through conversation and through data — and fix what costs the most.

-

Build internal tooling that engineers adopt because it’s better, not because it’s mandated.

-

Attack flaky tests, slow feedback loops, and the seams between systems where delivery quietly stalls.

-

Instrument our delivery metrics and use them to drive decisions and report progress.

-

Improve local development setup and onboarding, and bring AI-assisted development into our workflow deliberately.

-

Carry on-call for what you build. We support what we ship.

What You'll Need:
-

Deep hands-on CI/CD ownership: you’ve designed and rebuilt pipelines, not just consumed them.

-

Real software engineering ability. This isn’t a configuration role; you’ll write code your peers respect.

-

Pipelines serving multiple language ecosystems at once, several dependency caches, several test runners, one coherent release process.

-

Fluency in how software delivery is measured: You know the DORA metrics well enough to instrument them, read them honestly, and use them to choose what to work on. We make decisions on data, not whim.

-

Infrastructure-as-code and containerization in practice.

-

An ownership mindset. You’ve carried a pager for systems you built, and it shaped how you build them.

-

The ability to change how engineers work through mentorship — through better tools, clear writing, and earned credibility.

-

Hands-on, non-superficial use of AI-assisted development tooling.

Nice To Have
-

GitLab CI at scale (runner fleets, caching strategies, reusable templates) or Octopus Deploy .

-

Build systems for .NET/MSBuild , Python packaging , or modern JavaScript build tooling .

-

Experience with monorepo tooling , pipeline observability , or security/compliance automation .

-

Prior background working as a product/feature software engineer
