* Design and enhance CI/CD pipelines, trunk-based development workflows, and layered testing strategies (unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end testing).

* Collaborate with developer experience teams to build shared tooling and streamline engineering workflows.

* Lead initiatives across the stack including release tooling, system decomposition, and platform reliability improvements.

* Own delivery, quality, and operational support (including on-call responsibilities) for critical systems and services.

* Partner closely with product and engineering teams to identify risks early, support design decisions, and ensure smooth production releases.

Requirements

You bring strong software engineering expertise with a focus on building and operating large-scale, cloud-native systems. You are comfortable working across backend and infrastructure layers, with a strong emphasis on modern delivery practices and engineering excellence.

* 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.

* Proven experience building and operating scalable, cloud-native systems with strong reliability and observability practices.

* Deep knowledge of CI/CD, trunk-based development, automated testing strategies, and progressive delivery approaches (feature flags, canary releases).

* Experience defining or contributing to engineering-wide standards around testing, performance, and system reliability.

* Hands-on experience with cloud platforms and distributed systems in production environments.

* Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) integrated into daily workflows, with strong judgment in reviewing and refining AI-generated output.

* Strong collaboration and communication skills with a thoughtful approach to technical decision-making and inclusive teamwork.

* Experience with modern stacks such as Ruby, Java, Python, JavaScript/React, and infrastructure tools like AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
