• Own and evolve Bazel-based build and test infrastructure for C++, Python, Rust, and Typescript.
• Build and maintain Kubernetes-based services and cloud infrastructure using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code.
• Replace manual release, provisioning, and access workflows with automated, GitHub-integrated systems.
• Reduce flaky builds, failed deploys, and CI bottlenecks.
• Partner with engineers across the stack to make builds, tests, and deploys predictable and fast.

Required qualifications

• Strong experience operating GitHub-centric development workflows at scale.
• Deep familiarity with CI/CD systems and build reliability challenges.
• Experience with Bazel or similar large-scale build systems.
• Proficiency in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
• Strong instincts for developer experience and operational leverage.

Nice to have

• Experience improving CI throughput for hundreds of engineers.
• Expertise in Bazel optimization (remote caching, test sharding, incremental builds).
• Security- or InfoSec-adjacent infrastructure automation.
• Background in internal developer productivity or platform teams.
