The Role
As a Senior DevOps Engineer on eBays Developer Platform & Experience team you will design and evolve the Continuous Delivery foundations that power thousands of applications and support 3000 developers every day. Youll build pavedpath tooling automate at scale and adopt modern cloud infrastructure so teams can develop test and ship highquality secure performant softwarerapidly and reliably.
Why this role exists
Our engineers ship code to millions of users. Your mission is to shorten the path from idea to production by building the platforms tooling and AI-assisted workflows that make development fast safe and delightful. Youll own core pieces of our internal developer platform (IDP)from hermetic builds and ephemeral test environments to continuous delivery and quality automationand lead the adoption of AI to accelerate everyday engineering tasks.
We draw inspiration from top tech companies that operate at massive scalee.g. modern build systems like Bazel and Buck2 proven CD patterns like Spinnaker and internal developer portals such as Backstageso our developers spend less time on toil and more time delivering customer value.
What youll do
Own the Software Build Test platform and frameworks. Design and evolve fast reproducible and cache-efficient builds; reduce CI build times with creative solutions; improve correctness and remove flakiness in infrastructure; maintain scalable artifact storage and dependency management.
Platform modernization.
Spin up ephemeral production-like test environments. Standardize on sandboxed on-demand environments (e.g. per-PR) to enable reliable integration/e2e testing and preview deployments.
Harden & simplify deployments. Advance our CD/GitOps workflows (progressive delivery automated rollbacks canaries) with golden paths and strong guardrails.
Build the internal developer portal. Curate paved roads for services data and infra via templates scorecards and software catalogs to improve discoverability and self-service.
Introduce AI-assisted engineering.
Ship secure private AI copilots for code authoring refactoring and code review.
Use LLMs for test generation flaky test triage log summarization debug suggestions Error classifications Selective Test Execution and AIOps across CI/CD.
Build evaluation harnesses prompt libraries RAG over internal docs and policy controls for IP PII and secrets.
Champion reliability security & compliance. Bake in supply-chain security (SBOMs provenance signing) policy-as-code and infra guardrails Patching CVEs in accordance with policies
Instrument measure improve. Track DORA and DevEx metrics (lead time deployment frequency change-failure rate MTTR) and drive continuous improvement via experiments.
Partner widely. Work with product teams Cloud Frameworks Security and Data/ML to understand friction points and design paved-road solutions that scale.
Collaborate across. Our Platform teams are spread across the globe as well as the eBay developer community. Provide top notch Developer Platforms that satisfy the needs of geographically distributed teams.
Example problems you might own in your first 612 months
Data driven analysis and cut average CI build times by 40% via incremental builds dependency management and smarter caching; Bring down slowest test suites with parallelization Selective Test executions profiling and flake-busting.
Launch ephemeral PR environments with seeded data and synthetic traffic; integrate with feature flags for safe progressive rollouts.
Stand up an internal developer portal (service templates scorecards docs search) and migrate golden paths there.
Deliver an AI DevEx toolkit: repo-aware chat code-review assistant flaky-test explainer and CI log summarizerwith evaluation dashboards and privacy controls.
Pilot remote dev pods to standardize the edit-build-run loop for large repos and speed onboarding.
Qualifications
Must-haves
7 years building platforms/tools for large engineering orgs; deep expertise in one or more build systems (preferably building Java Nodejs stacks) CI orchestration (preferably Jenkins) test infra deployment/CD pipelines or Internal Developer Portals.
Self-starter with a proactive mindset and strong sense of ownership.
Proven ability to manage communications effectively with partner teams across global regions with hands-on experience working in private cloud environments.
Skilled at designing robust solutions while proactively anticipating potential issues to ensure reliability and efficiency.
Strong systems design for high-scale developer workflows (monorepos/multirepos artifact caching remote execution hermetic builds).
Experienced in providing timely solutions to developer challenges in Jenkins environments ensuring smooth CI/CD workflows.
DevOps fundamentals: Containers Kubernetes service mesh IaC (Terraform) GitOps observability (metrics/logs/traces) SLOs/SLIs.
Practical AI skills & design patterns: Prompt engineering hands-on RAG LLM evaluations API orchestration privacy/guardrails; ability to ship AI-backed tools that measurably reduce toil.
System design & design patterns: strong grasp of distributed systems API design resiliency and object-oriented/functional patterns; ability to create clear scalable architectures and ADRs.
Agentic/MCP architectures: practical experience designing agent loops (planner/executor/critic) tool abstractions memory and MCP-style tool/resource servers for enterprise integration.
Proficiency in at least two languages (e.g. Java Kotlin Python Go). Fullstack development experience is a plus.
Fluency in Linux/Ubuntu commands to get bottom of the system level issues.
Database literacy: working knowledge of NoSQL and modern relational databases.
Observability dashboards: ability to build with Prometheus Grafana ELK Splunk New Relic or Nagios.
Performance sleuthing: able to diagnose system and web-service performance issues end-to-end.
Nice-to-haves
Experience with modern CI/CD platforms (e.g. Tekton/Spinnaker/Argo CD/Flux) and progressive delivery.
Prior work with Backstage or other IDPs; plugin development and service catalog design.
Background in developer analytics and productivity research; familiarity with DORA DX frameworks
Experience with remote dev environments (e.g. DevPods/Codespaces-style) at scale.
Experience with microservices architecture and related DevOps practices.
How we measure success
Lead time for changes trends down; deployment frequency trends up without increasing risk.
CI stability & speed improve (p95 build/test time flake rate queueing).
Change failure rate & MTTR drop via safer releases and better rollback automation.
Developer NPS/DevEx survey and onboarding time improve; IDP adoption grows. (Benchmarked using DORA-style measures.)
