What you need
- Deep experience building and evolving large-scale distributed systems, particularly in CI/CD, build infrastructure, release engineering, or foundational backend platforms.
- Strong architectural instincts with a bias toward simplicity, clarity, and long-term platform leverage.

- A track record of owning and delivering complex, cross-team technical initiatives with org-wide or company-level impact.

Worth weighing
- Role involves significant responsibility in shaping the future of release engineering, which may be appealing to candidates looking for high-impact positions.
- The focus on AI integration suggests a forward-thinking approach but may require candidates to be comfortable with rapidly changing technologies.
- Remote work is available, but in-person onboarding is required, which may be a consideration for some candidates.
