- Improve CI/CD pipelines and CI workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions) with a focus on speed and reliability.
- Reduce CI flakiness and improve overall pipeline stability through systematic triage and root-cause analysis.
- Shorten developer feedback loops by optimizing test strategy, pipeline consistency, and local development workflows.
- Strengthen CD and release processes for secure, repeatable, and fast deployments.
- Promote best practices such as GitOps and progressive delivery where they fit.
- Track and improve delivery metrics, with emphasis on Lead Time for Changes and Deployment Frequency.
- Partner with engineering teams to identify friction and deliver scalable automation and paved paths.
What We’re Looking For:
- 3+ years of experience as a Platform Engineer or a strong Backend Engineer with a DevOps focus.
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, versioning, and release management.
- Proven experience with modern build tools (e.g., Bazel, SWC) and managing CI workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
- Good skills with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Helm.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including containers (Docker), Kafka and cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Strong programming skills in Python, Go, TypeScript, or another modern backend language.
- Experience with monorepo tools (Lerna, NX, PNPM) is a big plus.
- Familiarity with GitOps workflows using tools like ArgoCD or Flux.
- A strong sense of ownership and a passion for making systems reliable, scalable, and improving the developer experience.
