We're looking for a Build Engineer who enjoys working close to the metal-someone who is comfortable with Linux, containers, scripting, and the day-to-day operational heartbeat of a build environment. You'll own and improve the systems that our customers rely on every day, from Docker-based build workflows to automation, and you'll help triage and resolve issues as they arise.
This role is hands-on and operational, but also offers meaningful opportunities to drive improvements, reduce friction, and evolve our build tooling as the company scales.Anticipated salary is $130,000-150,000 depending on experience.

3+ years in build engineering, DevOps, infrastructure engineering, or similar roles

Strong Linux experience and command-line fluency
Solid Python and Bash scripting abilities
Proficiency with Docker, container tooling, and debugging container build issues
Familiarity with troubleshooting distributed environments, remote systems, and scaling behaviors
Basic Kubernetes understanding (enough to triage image/deployment issues)
Experience with Git-based workflows (Bitbucket, GitHub, or GitLab)
Experience maintaining or customizing Jenkins pipelines
Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with engineering teams
Process-oriented mindset and comfort with routine operational responsibilities
Demonstrated ability to take ownership and steadily improve systems over time
Nice to Have
Exposure to AWS or Azure
Familiarity with container scanning tools, observability tools, or build optimization
Experience in early-stage startups or dynamic engineering environments
Responsibilities
Complete daily builds and publish an updated catalog of all our curated images
Maintain, monitor, and improve our build environment, including Docker builds, image tools, and supporting scripts, automation
Triage and debug build failures, container-related issues, and image problems across engineering teams
Write and maintain automation scripts and internal tooling in Bash and Python
Collaborate with developers to diagnose issues, improve build workflows, and ensure smooth day-to-day operations
Contribute to scaling our build infrastructure to meet growing engineering needs
Document processes and maintain consistency in routine operational tasks
Identify opportunities to automate repetitive work and improve reliability
