What does it mean to work at CircleCI? For us, flexibility is key.

At CircleCI, our engineering teams power the platform trusted by developers worldwide to build, test, and deploy with confidence. We operate at massive scale—processing over 50 million builds per month for companies ranging from fast-moving startups to global enterprises—and sit at a critical point in the software delivery lifecycle where reliability, performance, and user experience directly shape developer productivity.

Engineering here is about momentum and impact. We move quickly to explore ideas, validate what works, and double down on solutions that create real value for users. Our engineers are builders at heart: comfortable navigating ambiguity, making pragmatic tradeoffs, and approaching technical decisions through the lens of customer outcomes. Speed and experimentation matter, but so does the discipline to evolve prototypes into durable, production-ready systems.

Looking ahead, we’re weaving AI into the fabric of CI/CD—from intelligent test selection that reduces build times to predictive insights that prevent pipeline failures. By combining scale, speed, and intelligent tooling, the systems you build at CircleCI don’t just power our platform—they shape how software is delivered across the industry, helping teams everywhere ship better code, faster, with greater confidence.

We hire team-agnostically at CircleCI, meaning we don’t recruit for a single team from the start. Instead, we get to know each candidate through the interview process and then place them on the team where their strengths, interests, and experience will make the greatest impact. This approach allows us to be thoughtful about matching engineers with the right challenges, and it gives new hires a stronger foundation for long-term success and growth. It’s part of our commitment to building balanced, high-performing teams that are set up to thrive.

By carefully matching your skills to the right team, we ensure you can make the most meaningful impact on systems that are critical to the success of development teams worldwide.
