Job summary

Orb is seeking a senior engineer to join the platform team to build and evolve a comprehensive developer platform and AI-assisted development tooling. You will own CI/CD, IaC, and the build system across a multi-service codebase, while shaping how AI agents interact with production-like environments.

You will create primitives and abstractions to help product engineers ship quickly with high quality, improving observability and on-call health.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in software engineering with ownership of a developer/platform or core infrastructure at scale
• Deep hands-on experience with AWS, infrastructure-as-code, containers, and CI/CD
• Experience building platforms that other engineers rely on and focusing on reliability

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve our developer platform — CI/CD (including safe, progressive delivery), infrastructure-as-code, and the build system across a large multi-service codebase
• Build the application-platform primitives — frameworks, abstractions, and paved paths — that let product engineers ship quickly and with high quality
• Build tooling that lets engineers and AI agents develop against production-like environments quickly and safely: sandboxes, preview environments, and fast feedback loops
• Improve developer-facing observability and on-call health: better signal, fewer pages, faster diagnosis
• Push forward our investment in AI-assisted, agent-driven development — the primitives that make it effective and safe
• Partner with security to make our infrastructure and workflows safe by default
