Description
As a Hivemind Build and CI engineer, you will design and implement engineering-centric automation across the organisation. You will work closely with product development teams, implementing policies and guidelines into the continuous integration and delivery systems.
This role requires you to be very hands-on and contribute to discussions with cross-functional teams across the organisation. We embrace an attitude that focuses on solving the root cause of problems efficiently.
A large part of your day-to-day will be in our build pipelines, build configuration management, and focusing on making changes to increase developer iteration time.
Responsibilities:
- Embed with a product engineering team as their primary Software Operations partner, working closely with engineers to improve how software is built, tested, and delivered.
- Design, implement, and continuously improve build pipelines, CI workflows, and supporting tooling with a focus on scalability, reliability, and developer experience.
- Apply strong C++ and/or Go software development experience to build and maintain robust build and CI solutions.
- Reduce iteration time and friction by improving build performance, test reliability, and CI feedback loops.
- Debug and resolve complex build, test, and CI failures using disciplined root-cause analysis.
- Influence technical direction without formal authority by earning trust through collaboration, technical credibility, and a deep understanding of team and program constraints.
- Promote best practices in build hygiene, CI/CD design, dependency management, and software development workflows that scale across teams and programs.
- Apply knowledge of software design patterns and architectural principles to design maintainable CI systems and build abstractions.
- Coach and mentor product engineers on build and CI topics, helping teams make better design decisions and understand trade-offs.
- Represent the Software Operations organisation within the product team, acting as a bridge between platform capabilities and product needs.
- Advocate for practical, production-ready solutions that improve developer productivity without sacrificing velocity or quality.
Requirements:
- BS in computer science or related engineering field with 3+ years of professional experience.
- Experience with configuration management tools (Makefile, CMake, Conan, Bazel, etc.).
- Strong demonstrated proficiency in continuous integration/delivery (e.g. Github Actions, ADO, TeamCity, etc.).
- Strong understanding of C++ (or other compiled language), Linux and CMake.
- Strong knowledge of APIs, web services, and identity access management.
- Strong knowledge of containers (e.g. Docker, Podman, etc.).
- Strong knowledge of scripting languages (Bash, Python, PowerShell).
- Strong knowledge of Git.
- Strong system administration in Linux (w/ Windows a bonus).
- Strong desire to learn and grow on the job.
Preferences:
- Strong Experience with Conan Package Manager.
- Experience with Rust in a production environment.
