CI pipelines keep the entire software development lifecycle moving, yet compute constraints and inefficient orcheststration routinely throttle engineering velocity. You will architect the low-level execution engine that eliminates those bottlenecks, writing performance-critical code in Rust, Go, or C/C++. This is deeply technical systems work for someone who understands how build schedules interact with kernel-level resources and distributed compute. Join a compact, recently funded team in New York and build the foundational infrastructure that unblocks hundreds of dependent organizations.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of professional experience building and scaling backend or infrastructure systems
  • Deep proficiency in Go, Rust, or C/C++ with a strong grasp of systems-level programming
  • Proven expertise in DevOps, SRE, or distributed compute orchestration
  • Comfort navigating the architecture of CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure
  • Ability to work on-site in New York, driving foundational technical decisions from day one
