About the Team
The Infrastructure team builds and operates the foundations that power Us: networking data ML serving developer platform and realtime voice. We partner closely with product data and ML to deliver highscale lowlatency systems with clear SLOs and great developer ergonomics.
About the Role
Were looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and evolve our internal developer platformeverything from CI/CD and release automation to observability standards platform tooling and developer workflows that remove friction.
This role is for someone who loves making other engineers faster: reducing build times eliminating flaky tests creating paved roads for service creation/deployment and raising the bar on operability by default. Roles like this often combine builder energy with strong empathy for how engineers actually work.
What youll do
- Developer productivity & platform tooling
- Identify workflow bottlenecks (build/test/release/local dev) and build tools that measurably reduce toil.
- Create and maintain golden paths like service templates CLIs libraries and automation that teams rely on.
- CI/CD & release engineering
- Design reusable CI pipelines and deployment workflows that are fast safe and easy to adopt across teams.
- Improve reliability of builds and tests (flake reduction hermeticity caching) and drive down cycle time.
- Support progressive delivery patterns (canary / blue-green) and safe rollback mechanisms.
- Observability & operational excellence
- Establish shared observability primitives (metrics/logs/traces) standards and libraries so services are production-ready by default.
- Partner with product engineers to improve operability: SLOs alerting hygiene dashboards incident learnings.
- Infrastructure foundations
- Build and improve core platform capabilities that make it easy to run and scale services.
- Ownership & reliability
- Own the systems you build end-to-end and help keep them healthy in production improving reliability over time.
Your background looks something like this
- 8 years of experience in platform devtools or infrastructure engineering.
- Experience building production software with meaningful experience in platform / devtools / infrastructure (or adjacent SRE/release engineering).
- Strong coding ability in at least one systems/productivity language (e.g. Python TypeScript/JS) and comfort building developer-facing tooling (CLIs libraries automation).
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems and designing pipelines that are scalable and reusable across many repos/services.
- Practical experience with observability in production systems (instrumentation alerting dashboards incident response).
- Comfort with containers and modern cloud infrastructure (e.g. Docker/Kubernetes and related tooling).
- A track record of improving developer experience through measurable outcomes (faster builds fewer flakes safer deploys fewer incidents).
- Strong cross-team collaboration and communicationespecially writing clear docs and driving adoption.
Even better if you have
- Experience with monorepos and build systems and/or large-scale CI performance work.
- Experience building internal platforms: service templates paved-road deployment self-serve environments developer portals.
- Infrastructure-as-code experience (e.g. Terraform) and a security-minded approach to supply chain (provenance secrets least privilege).
- Experience applying AI-assisted tooling to make engineers dramatically more effective.
