What You’ll Bring to the Role

• Proven experience in reducing pipeline flakiness through better test design, infrastructure improvements, or retry strategies
• Passion for developer productivity and eliminating toil through automation
• Strong background in build automation across multiple languages and ecosystems (Maven, Gradle, npm, Go modules, pip, NuGet, CMake)
• Comfortable developing with multiple languages such as C, Java & Python
• Experience in all phases of software development including requirements definition, planning, implementation, testing and support
• A quality-focused mindset that advocates on behalf of the end-user
• Experience using AI technologies and coding-assisted tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Co-pilot, Cline, Aider and Roo

Nice to Have Skills

• Familiar with a variety of testing tools and frameworks
• Experience with messaging brokers (Solace/RabbitMQ/Kafka) and messaging-as-a-service products (PubNub/Pusher/Cloud AMQP)
• Experience with containerized build environments (Docker, Kubernetes-based CI runners)
• Experience with cross-platform build challenges (Windows, Linux, macOS)
