What You’ll Do

• We are looking for a software engineer with a strong automation mindset to help improve how our engineering teams build, test, and deliver software.

• This role sits at the intersection of automation, reliability, and developer experience. You’ll work on the systems and tooling that enable teams to ship changes safely and repeatedly, reducing manual effort and operational risk through software.

• Design, and evolve automation as internal product, to support the software delivery lifecycle, from code commit through to production

• Improve the reliability, consistency, and usability of CI/CD pipelines and supporting tooling

• Identify manual, error-prone, or slow processes workflows and replace them with automation and a product-driven approach

• Collaborate with application engineers, SREs, and infrastructure teams to improve delivery safety and operational resilience

• Contribute to standards and reusable patterns for build, test, deployment, and rollback

• Embed reliability, security, and quality checks into automated workflows where they add real value

• Improve developer experience through better tooling, documentation, and self-service capabilities

• Use metrics and feedback to guide improvements to delivery performance and system reliability

What We’re Looking For

• Background as a software engineer, SRE, DevOps engineer, or platform engineer with a strong focus on automation

• Experience improving developer productivity or internal tooling

• Experience operating systems across multiple environments (dev, test, prod)

• Strong collaboration and communication skills when working across teams

• Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar

• Comfortable writing automation and tooling in a general-purpose language (e.g. Python, Go, or equivalent)

• Working knowledge of cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), even if not a deep specialist

• Familiarity with containerized workloads and modern deployment practices (Kubernetes/EKS, ECS, or similar)

Bonus Points

• Exposure to Site Reliability Engineering practices or operational ownership

• Experience working with infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar) is a plus, not a requirement

• Familiarity with delivery performance metrics (e.g. deployment frequency, lead time, failure rates)

• Interest in software supply chain security or compliance automation
