  • Keep your technical skills sharp and your content grounded in reality

How you'll work

  • Make editorial calls independently while staying aligned with team goals
  • Represent CircleCI with good judgment in public forums
  • Find opportunities and act on them without waiting for permission

Who you are

  • You've shipped production software for 7+ years, with depth in testing, CI/CD, deployment, or reliability engineering
