You're comfortable reading a plan, spotting drift, and making a call on whether to apply or revert. * Build system familiarity: You can read a Bazel, Gradle, Maven, or CMake build and understand what's happening. You don't need to be a compiler engineer, but build failures shouldn't be a black box. * CI/CD operations: Experience keeping a CI system healthy - investigating failures, managing flaky tests, and understanding the difference between a systemic problem and a one-off. * Linux & shell: The shell is your natural habitat for log analysis, scripting, and debugging production issues. * Async communication: Strong written English - you write clear updates, handover summaries, and runbooks that people actually read. * Ownership of outcomes: Comfortable being the person the team leans on for a week at a time, and escalating when you need help. Requirements * Direct experience with Bazel or the Remote Execution API (REAPI) * Programming proficiency in Java, Go, Python, or TypeScript for automation and internal tooling * Experience with PagerDuty and Linear (or equivalent incident and issue-tracking workflows) * Background in platform or DevOps engineering at a product-led company * Familiarity with Kubernetes or container orchestration in production ## Description * Own the release cycle: Drive the weekly releases from branch cut to full production rollout. Manage phased deployment across rc, preview, general, and cautious tracks using Terraform and internal tooling - balancing speed with the stability our customers depend on. * Keep production healthy: Deploy configuration changes to a global fleet of clusters, resolve Terraform drift, and ensure every cluster stays within its maintenance and certificate windows. * Run the rotation: Each week one engineer shields the team from operational noise - that's you, on rotation. Triage the Linear queue daily, route issues to the right team, investigate customer-reported cluster problems, and facilitate the weekly Production Ops meeting. * Own CI health: Keep the master branch green across all EngFlow-managed repositories. Hunt down flaky tests, fix what you can, and leave good context for what you can't. * Be the connective tissue during incidents: Coordinate between engineers when production issues escalate. Deploy hotfixes and configuration changes within agreed maintenance windows, without dropping the ball on the rest of the week. * Make the next release easier than the last: Improve runbooks, sharpen the handover process, and reduce toil - not just for yourself, but for every engineer who comes after you on rotation. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Code to Road in < 12 hours](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1082-code-to-road-in-12-hours) - [Modular Secrets to Lightning-Fast Android Builds](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1428-modular-secrets-to-lightning-fast-android-builds) - [GitOps for the people](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/815-gitops-for-the-people) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
