About the Team:
You'll be joining a growing, distributed team within FactSet's Developer Enablement & Automation organization. The team focuses on the workflows, tooling, and shared infrastructure that power FactSet's engineering communities — helping engineers ship software with confidence.
Job Description:
FactSet's ecosystem spans a wide range of teams and technologies. This role focuses on integrating and supporting a centralized CI/CD pipeline platform that brings consistency and governance to how software is built, tested, and deployed — without slowing teams down.
The work is less about building from scratch and more about making the right pieces fit together on a scale. Good engineering judgment is as important as technical skill: the platform needs to be consistent where it matters and flexible enough to support the teams that rely on it.
Responsibilities:
- Build a centralized CI/CD platform to support a diverse portfolio of applications with varying build tools, test frameworks, and deployment targets
- Identify and implement extension points that accommodate existing build requirements
- Define and enforce standardized quality gates (linting, testing, security checks) while preserving team flexibility
- Collaborate directly with application teams to surface requirements and ensure the pipeline fits their needs
- Support deployments across an internal PaaS platform, Kubernetes/ArgoCD, and AWS
- Help shape the long-term vision of the platform and what good engineering workflows look like at FactSet
What We're Looking For:
- Must be fluent in English
- 5+ years with solid experience as a software engineer with a strong focus on CI/CD, developer tooling, or platform engineering at a comparable seniority level
- Experience working with CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins or Travis CI and an understanding of how to design pipelines that scale across many teams and applications
- Deep familiarity with the software packaging lifecycle ecosystem — you understand how these applications are built, tested, and what good looks like across different build toolchains
- Familiarity with containerized deployments and cloud environments (Kubernetes, AWS, or similar)
- An instinct for where standardization helps and where it hurts - you know the difference between a guardrail and a roadblock
- Familiarity with Linux — you should be able to navigate the Linux file system via a CLI and understand Linux operating system concepts like package managers.
- Bachelors degree in computer science or relevant degree
Additional/Desired Skill:
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach - you'll need to engage with application teams, understand their constraints, and build solutions that earn adoption rather than demanding it
- A genuine passion for developer experience and enabling engineering teams to move faster with more confidence
- Experience with modern CI/CD vendors and pipeline-as-code approaches
- Familiarity with internal developer platforms or PaaS-style deployment environments
- Experience driving tooling adoption across a large engineering organization
- Broader experience with developer enablement concerns such as shared libraries, scaffolding, or local development environment standardization
- Familiarity with Python, Bash and Typescript
- Familiarity with the Harness Developer Platform
