Build Engineer

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
• Authorized to work in the US. US citizenship required pursuant to applicable federal contracts and security-clearance requirements.
• 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

‍

• 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
