Job Summary
At Braze we have found our people. Were a genuinely approachable exceptionally kind and intensely passionate crew.
We seek to ignite that passion by setting high standards championing teamwork and creating work-life harmony as we collectively navigate rapid growth on a global scale while striving for greater equity and opportunity inside and outside our organization.
To flourish here you must be prepared to set a high bar for yourself and those around you. There is always a way to contribute: Acting with autonomy having accountability and being open to new perspectives are essential to our continued success.
Our deep curiosity to learn and our eagerness to share diverse passions with others gives us balance and injects a one-of-a-kind vibrancy into our culture.
If you are driven to solve exhilarating challenges and have a bias toward action in the face of change you will be empowered to make a real impact here with a sharp and passionate team at your back. If Braze sounds like a place where you can thrive we cant wait to meet you.
Braze is the leading customer engagement platform helping brands build personalized messaging experiences across push email in-app and more at massive scale. We use a diverse technology stack rooted in Ruby on Rails MongoDB Redis Kafka Kubernetes and more.
Developer Acceleration is a brand-new team inside Engineering. Our job is to take Brazes infrastructure primitives like deployment provisioning and testing and turn them into fast self-serve paths so engineers can build test and ship without stitching multiple systems together themselves. We also own the ramps our engineers use to build and deploy AI tooling internally including the frameworks and guardrails that let Braze build and run its own AI agents safely.
As a Platform Software Engineer youll help build both sides of that mission from the ground up. This team is only a few weeks old so youll help shape how it works not just what it ships.
WHAT YOULL DO
- Turn Brazes infrastructure primitives like deployment provisioning and testing into simple self-serve paths so engineers can build test and ship without stitching multiple systems together themselves
- Build the frameworks and guardrails that let engineering teams deploy internally-built AI agents safely including governance that controls what an agent can access and do
- Partner with Brazes engineering teams to define infrastructure-as-a-service primitives build monitoring and alerting that catches issues early and help Braze meet its enterprise-grade SLAs
- Provide the opinionated abstractions tooling and guardrails that let engineering teams use platform primitives safely and keep improving the observability and everyday ergonomics of the tools they depend on
- This team doesnt run a formal on-call rotation yet. As one stands up youll help shape it backed by Brazes dedicated platform support team who already absorb most day-two firefighting
WHO YOU ARE
This is a software and developer tooling role not a systems administration role. If most of your experience is deep infrastructure work heavy Terraform ownership or cluster administration with less time spent building the software layer on top this probably isnt the right next step for you.
- 5 years of experience building developer tooling CI/CD pipelines or similar software. This is not an entry-level or new-grad role
- Comfortable with Kubernetes as something you build on top of and deploy to not something you spend your day administering
- You care more about good service and software design than which language youre writing in. A growing share of code today gets written by AI tooling so design judgment matters more than raw output
- Youve built or explored developer platform integrations such as GitHub Apps internal CLIs or MCP (Model Context Protocol) and you use AI tools in your own workflow with a clear point of view on where they help and where they dont
- You think about systems: interfaces boundaries edge cases and failure modes
- You collaborate and document well across global remote teams and youd rather fix something broken than walk past it
For candidates based in the United States the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $104000 and $176040/year with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between $116000 and $195600/year (including bonus or commission). Your exact offer may vary depending on multiple individualized factors including market location job-related knowledge skills and addition to cash compensation this role qualifies for a comprehensive Total Rewards package that includes equity grants of restricted stock (RSUs) so that you will own a piece of our company.
