Job description

About the team

We know that technology can connect, empower, and drive us. We're making networking easier, faster, and smarter with technology that simply works. We maintain a positive relationship with our main group that gives us the stability and resources of a larger company without sacrificing our startup vibe. As a member of the Dashboard Build team, you will provide logistical support for our cloud development organization, focusing on functionality, simplicity, scalability, reliability, and availability of our build systems. You're driven by a strong desire to improve developer happiness, always keeping an empathetic ear out for developers' day-to-day experience with tools and workflows, while finding ways to improve these. You\'ll make incremental changes to quickly get a developer unstuck, as well as propose and implement longer term changes that reduce technical debt, accelerate developer productivity, and anticipate future needs. We are stewards of the outer loop, striving to enable our developers to ship quality features, with confidence.

The Dashboard Build team supports our FedRAMP Moderate environment, and we are building on that foundation for U.S. federal and defense customers with FedRAMP High and DoD Impact Level 5 (IL5) requirements. That means designing systems that are scalable, reliable, auditable, and simple to operate under a high bar for security and compliance. We're looking for a technical lead who thrives in high impact, high visibility projects, with an excitement to tackle complex problems and collaborate across teams.

• Work closely with product engineering teams to monitor and maintain build health, velocity, and accuracy
