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 counseling for stress management, dependent care, nutrition, fitness, legal, and financial issues (Guardian WorkLifeMatters EAP)
