Yahoo is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for DevEx (Finance) to own and advance the developer platform across CI/CD, artifact management, and GitOps rollouts. You will apply AI-assisted workflows to accelerate creation and testing of pipeline artifacts, while ensuring secure, production-ready configurations.

Strong preference for hands-on experience with ArgoCD and Artifactory in enterprise environments.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
5+ years of professional software development or platform engineering experience, with a deep focus on CI/CD pipeline design and troubleshooting (IC4 level).
Hands-on expertise with enterprise CI/CD platforms (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI) and writing reusable workflow modules.
Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, LLM coding assistants) to accelerate code generation, debugging, and documentation.
Experience working with artifact management platforms (e.g., Artifactory) and release promotion patterns.
Demonstrated ability to independently own and deliver squad-level software features, technical migrations, or internal tools.
Strong technical writing skills for creating clear developer playbooks, API documentation, and migration guides.

Responsibilities

Own and deliver key components of developer platform initiatives across CI/CD pipeline modernization, artifact management, developer tooling, and ArgoCD GitOps rollouts.
Utilize AI pair-programming and automation tools to rapidly generate, refactor, and test reusable CI/CD actions, deployment manifests, and platform scripts.
Inspect, validate, and troubleshoot AI-assisted or agent-generated platform configurations and exception queues, ensuring automated pipeline migrations meet production correctness and security standards.
Build and maintain reusable pipeline templates, standardized build workflows, and clear developer documentation for golden paths.
Support artifact publish/consume patterns (Artifactory, container registries), assist with CI compute runner optimization, and resolve complex pipeline break/fix issues.
Serve as a primary technical contact for application squads through platform rollouts—hosting office hours, guiding migration steps, and gathering feedback to iterate on tooling.
Instrument pipeline automation with telemetry, monitoring time-to-green metrics, build flakiness, and reliability trends to drive continuous platform improvement.
