The Role
We're looking for a Developer Platform Engineer to own and evolve the systems that keep our engineering organization moving fast and safely. You'll be embedded in the developer experience layer — focused on our monorepo, GitHub automation, and CI/CD infrastructure — with a mandate to make builds faster, more reliable, and more self-service across teams.
This is a high-leverage role. The problems you solve here multiply across every engineer in the company.
What You’ll Do
- Build and operate the engineering platform that enables developers to build, test, and ship software efficiently and safely.
- Design and maintain scalable CI/CD systems, source control workflows, and developer productivity tooling.
- Create self-service platform capabilities that reduce operational burden on engineering teams and standardize common workflows.
- Improve software delivery performance by increasing build reliability, reducing feedback cycles, and eliminating sources of engineering friction.
- Develop automation, policy enforcement, and governance mechanisms that scale with organizational growth.
- Partner with engineering teams to identify bottlenecks and deliver platform solutions that improve productivity across the company.
- Drive initiatives that improve developer experience, engineering velocity, and software quality.
What We’re Looking For
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience with demonstrated ownership of production systems
- Strong experience with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, Buildkite, or similar)
- Hands-on experience with monorepo tooling. Comfortable writing production-grade tooling in Python, Go, or TypeScript
- Experience with GitHub's API and webhooks at scale
- A systems thinker who designs for the whole org, not just the immediate problem
- Good instincts around developer experience — you've felt the pain of bad CI and want to fix it permanently
Preferred Qualifications
- Bazel experience is a strong plus
- Merge queues and large-scale source control automation averaging 500+ merges a week
- CI/CD optimization, test infrastructure, and flaky test reduction
- Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and automation
- Strong opinions on developer productivity and CI/CD, backed by a history of delivering measurable improvements
