This is a hands-on engineering role focused on CI/CD, Kubernetes, automation and platform reliability, working across both cloud and on-premise environments.

The Role

You’ll help build and evolve the platforms behind millions of software builds and production workloads, improving the speed, resilience and autonomy of engineering teams.You'll work closely with software engineers to automate the SDLC, strengthen production reliability and build scalable infrastructure.

• Experience with high-throughput, distributed systems.
• Strong understanding of observability and production reliability.
• Experience building or supporting REST APIs.
