• Provide and maintain remote development environments to accelerate local workflows and ensure developers can code, test, and deploy with minimal friction.

What you bring

• Experience building and maintaining developer infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, or large-scale build systems (such as Bazel).
• Proficiency in writing clean, maintainable code in Go or Python.
• Experience with distributed or remote build execution systems, and a solid understanding of containerization and orchestration using Kubernetes.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a focus on improving developer productivity, onboarding, and engineering workflows.
