Job Level

About the role

  • Own and improve CI/CD pipelines to enable confident, low-friction deployments that work consistently across services and environments
  • Build and maintain local and cloud development environments so engineers can spin up, test, and debug changes with minimal setup or surprises
  • Standardize alerting, metrics, and logging across systems to enable quick diagnosis and reduce firefighting time
  • Systematically identify and resolve developer experience pain points: slow tests, flaky builds, unclear failures, and missing documentation
  • Introduce strategic automation (e.g., test selection, release validation, infrastructure checks) where it clearly improves velocity or safety
  • Leverage AI to accelerate engineering workflows, from code review and test generation to infrastructure management
  • Partner with product engineering teams to drive adoption of platform improvements through trust and collaboration, not mandates

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent on infrastructure, platform, or developer experience work
  • Strong proficiency with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), containerization (Docker), and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform)
  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred)
  • Solid understanding of observability and monitoring tools (Datadog preferred) for metrics, logging, alerting, and distributed tracing
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation (Ruby, Python, Bash, or Go)
  • Experience with web application backends (Ruby on Rails preferred) and frontend build tooling (pnpm, Turborepo, ESLint, Jest/Vitest, Playwright)
  • Systems thinking with pragmatism. You design reliable systems that scale for current and near-term needs without over-engineering
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to drive adoption through mentorship and partnership
Benefits
  • Competitive salary and equity package
  • Unlimited PTO + paid company holidays
  • Access to holistic medical, dental, and vision plans
  • Company 401(k), Commuter, and HSA/FSA plans
  • NYC office in the heart of Manhattan
  • Lunch and snacks provided in the office
  • Access to virtual mental health care (Spring Health), vision related benefits (XP Health), and health concierge (Rightway) to help you find the right care
  • Access to counseling for stress management, dependent care, nutrition, fitness, legal, and financial issues (Guardian WorkLifeMatters EAP)
