Job summary

FloQast is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for Developer Experience to elevate engineering productivity at scale. You will own CI/CD platforms, especially GitHub Actions, and build self-service Terraform-based infrastructure patterns that streamline product development.

You will mentor senior engineers, influence architectural direction, and partner with security and platform teams to improve delivery velocity and reliability across multiple product lines.

Qualifications

• 8–10+ years of experience spanning software engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, or developer productivity.

• Lead the design and evolution of infrastructure modules and patterns built in Terraform.
