What You’ll Do

We are looking for a software engineer with a strong automation mindset to help improve how our engineering teams builds, tests, and deliver softwares.

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

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

What We’re Looking For

Background as a software engineer, SRE, DevOps engineer, or platform engineer with a strong focus on automation
Ability to quickly navigate and understand unfamiliar codebases, proactively identifying and implementing improvements that enhance software engineering patterns (SOLID, DRY), reliability, observability, and overall system health with minimal supervision
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 (ECS, Kubernetes/EKS, 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
