Full Job Description
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 optimation, 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.

Our roles are often flexible. If you don't fit all the criteria, or are in another location (especially one where we have an office like SF or NY) please apply anyway! We'd love to consider you.
