About the Role

About the Role:

Our mission is to build the software and platforms that empower product engineers to ship high-quality code at the speed of thought. We believe that internal infrastructure should be invisible; our goal is to design elegant abstractions and self-service tools that remove the cognitive load of deployment, allowing developers to focus entirely on building value for our customers.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Developer Experience team, you will treat our internal engineers as your primary customers. You will architect and build the robust tooling layer that sits between raw infrastructure and product code, ensuring that every interaction with our platform is seamless, intuitive, and highly automated.

This is a high-leverage infrastructure role. You won't just be managing a single pipeline; you'll be building the platform that manages hundreds of them. Your success is measured by the stability of the production fleet despite an unprecedented rate of change. We are building the rails for the future of software development. If you want to be the engineer who ensures we ship at the speed of thought with total safety, let’s talk.
