Developer Infrastructure Engineer

We’re partnering with a fast-growing technology company that builds software used by highly technical engineering teams. They’re looking for a Software Engineer to join their Developer Infrastructure team and help create the systems that keep a growing organisation productive.

You’ll own and improve the tooling behind builds, CI/CD, releases, and developer experience. The role will involve modern build systems and large-scale repository infrastructure, with significant scope to influence the team’s technical direction and engineering practices.

What you’ll do

• Build, optimise, and maintain large-scale software build infrastructure.
• Improve build performance and developer workflows as the organisation and codebase grow.
• Own and optimise CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and deployment reliability.
• Develop infrastructure that makes local development faster, more consistent, and easier to use.
• Build observability and telemetry across developer infrastructure, including logging, metrics, and tracing.
• Work closely with engineering teams to identify and remove technical friction.
• Measure improvements through build performance, release reliability, and developer productivity metrics.
• Help shape the team’s tooling, architecture, and engineering practices from an early stage.

Who we’re looking for

• 4+ years of experience building, scaling, or optimising software build systems.
• Strong experience with Bazel or a comparable build system.
• Experience working with and scaling large repositories or monorepos.
• A proven track record of improving CI/CD performance, release reliability, or developer productivity.
• Comfort owning developer infrastructure across build tooling, CI/CD, and release automation.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and a first-principles approach to solving complex problems.
• A pragmatic mindset, with the ability to move quickly while building solutions that can scale.
• Comfortable working with engineers across different teams and understanding their development workflows.

Nice to have

• Experience with observability platforms such as Datadog or Grafana.
• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry, audit logging, or telemetry infrastructure.
• Kubernetes experience.
• Experience with remote build caching or distributed build execution.
• Experience creating ephemeral development environments.
• Previous experience building internal developer platforms or engineering tools.
