Software Development Engineer CICD

Were seeking a Software Development Engineer to architect build and operate the CI/CD platforms that accelerate silicon development at Annapurna this role youll own Jenkins Gerrit and GitLab as highly available scalable servicesenabling hundreds of chip design and verification engineers to build test and integrate their work with speed and confidence. Youll treat these platforms as products: self-service observable resilient and continuously improving.

Key job responsibilities
You will design and operate CI/CD platforms at scalemulti-controller Jenkins with Configuration as Code Gerrit with high-availability replication and self-managed GitLab with autoscaling runners. Youll build these as a service: self-service onboarding for new teams multi-tenancy with resource isolation shared pipeline libraries and automated agent provisioning. Youll deploy and manage all CI/CD infrastructure using AWS CDK utilize Spot strategies for cost-efficient build farms and architect for high availability with automated failover and disaster recovery.
You will build comprehensive observability into every layerpipeline health dashboards build time Service Level Objectives (SLOs) queue depth alerting and resource utilization metricsgiving both your team and your customers real-time visibility into platform performance. Youll establish incident response processes conduct capacity planning and proactively identify bottlenecks before they impact developer productivity. Youll continuously evaluate new capabilities (Jenkins Kubernetes operators GitLab Geo replication pipeline-as-trace with OpenTelemetry) and drive adoption of best practices across the engineering organization.


A day in the life
You might start your day reviewing pipeline health dashboardschecking build queue depths agent utilization and job success rates across Jenkins controllers. Mid-morning you could be deploying a Gerrit configuration change through your CI/CD pipeline (yes CI/CD for CI/CD) validating replication health across sites and then pairing with a design team to onboard their new project into the shared pipeline framework.
In the afternoon you might be implementing autoscaling policies for GitLab runners to handle a surge in verification regressions debugging a flaky Jenkins shared library or building a new self-service interface that lets teams provision isolated build environments without filing a ticket. Youll balance immediate customer needsunblocking a team whose builds are queued behind capacity constraintswith longer-term platform investments like migrating to Jenkins Configuration as Code or implementing pipeline observability with distributed tracing.


About the team
At Annapurna Labs your CI/CD platform work directly enables breakthrough innovations in custom silicon that power AWS and transform industries. The EDA Cloud Infrastructure team builds and operates the compute storage and developer platforms that hundreds of chip designers and verification engineers depend on daily. We offer the resources and scale of AWS with the innovation culture and technical depth of a focused silicon team.
If youre passionate about building developer platforms that make engineering teams more productive thrive on ownership and operational excellence and want to see your work accelerate the next generation of AWS siliconwe want to hear from you.
