• Work closely with product engineering teams to monitor and maintain build health, velocity, and accuracy.
• Collaborate with the SRE team to ensure scalability and availability of build systems.
• Prevent, predict, and respond to issues, coordinating triage and remediation efforts across the product teams.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience in development, build, and release engineering.
• Experience developing modular build systems and tools for a scalable continuous infrastructure that provides a streamlined developer experience.
• Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, TeamCity, GitHub, Buildkite, CircleCI, and/or RWX.
• Experience with distributed version control systems such as Git, GitLab, and/or GitHub.
• Experience with the use of containers in a build environment, and tools such as AWS, Artifactory, Docker, and/or Kubernetes.
• Experience with Linux and open-source software.
• Strong scripting knowledge using Shell, Groovy, Ruby, or similar scripting languages.
• Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and React toolchains and pipelines.
• Experience with Ruby on Rails and RSpec pipelines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with data collection, parsing, and visualization tools such as the Elastic Stack and Grafana.
• Experience with FedRAMP Moderate/High, DoD IL4/IL5, FISMA, GovRAMP (formerly StateRAMP), or similar regulated environments.
• Experience building or operating software in AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, or other isolated cloud environments.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code, secrets management, service mesh, zero-trust patterns, or compliance automation.
• Interest in security and networking.
