Senior Software Engineer - Release Engineering

Required

• You are a builder, not just a maintainer. You prefer writing a plugin, CLI, or automation over manually clicking through a console, and you have a track record of automating away your own toil.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on Release, DevOps, or Platform Engineering in cloud-based systems.
• Strong proficiency in Java or a similar statically-typed language, and comfort scripting in Python and/or Bash.
• Deep, hands-on experience with build tools such as Gradle, Bazel, or Maven at scale (large codebases, many modules, complex dependency graphs).
• Experience managing cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) using Terraform or similar IaC tools.
• Experience operating modern CI/CD platforms (e.g., GitHub Actions, Harness, GitLab CI, or similar) and improving their performance, reliability, and ergonomics.
• Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and system design, and familiarity with distributed systems and networking concepts.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, and demonstrated experience leading multi-developer efforts, including planning and technical breakdown.
• Someone who values “boring” reliability: you take pride in pipelines that run thousands of times without failure, and you build in error handling, retries, and idempotency by default.
• Excited about AI and agents, even if you are not training models yourself. You understand that for AI agents to be effective, the underlying infrastructure must be deterministic, observable, and API-driven, and you are motivated to build that foundation.

• Experience with Open Policy Agent (OPA) and policy-as-code approaches.
