CircleCI is seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer for our Community and Partner Engineering organization to build technical assets that extend the core CircleCI platform including (but not necessarily limited to) our orb ecosystem, tooling written to help customers use our products, and the fleet of images that are used every day in thousands of CircleCI jobs.
As a member of our organization, you will develop and support a wide range of codebases and projects, most of which are open source. You will also work directly with our end users and Technology Partners to improve the integration of our platform with third-party services and support the continued growth of an open-source community around CircleCI.
As part of CircleCI’s Customer Engineering organization, the Community & Partner Engineering team is widely distributed and 100% remote so your ability to collaborate remotely with other team members is crucial.
About Customer Engineering at CircleCI
The CircleCI Customer Engineering organization’s goal is to make life easier for our customers by helping them build and test their applications with ease. Customer Engineering works with customers to understand their technical and business needs and requirements—from onboarding to implementation to scale.
What you'll do:
- Support the rollout of new CircleCI features and functionality by building orbs, images, and other assets that make adoption of those features easier for end users
- Gain exposure to a range of DevOps tools and platforms as you work to integrate them with CircleCI, often by directly collaborating with the technical teams building those tools and platforms
- Use shell scripts, YAML, Docker, and third-party APIs every day
- Collaborate with the CircleCI user community on improvements and fixes to many of our open-source projects
- Work across the Customer Engineering organization, as well as with folks within Product and Engineering to understand common use cases and patterns, and how to make them easier to accomplish on our platform
- Write code that is self-documenting and continuously tested/deployed, and that has immediate, direct customer impact
What we're looking for:
We’re looking for someone who is curious and interested in learning, brings strong communication and collaboration skills, helping others grow by sharing their expertise and encouraging best practices. If this sounds like you, here are some additional qualifications we’re looking for:
- A desire to lead new initiatives and development efforts to improve the user experience of CircleCI’s end users and Technology Partners
- A passion for open source software – ideally, you already create or contribute to projects, or else you would be excited to do so
- Experience using Git, GitHub/Bitbucket, and/or other version control systems
- Experience using continuous integration and deployment platforms (like CircleCI)
- Experience writing shell scripts and developing command-line tools
- Proficiency in at least one common scripting language (JavaScript, Python, Ruby, etc.)
- Strong skills and experience with various Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine, etc.) and containerization/virtualization technologies (Docker, VMs). Bonus if you're also familiar with macOS and/or Windows.
- Use and automation of infrastructure/tools/services for at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Strong customer-facing skills (communication, empathy, technical writing)
Bonus points!
- Experience with popular web app frameworks (e.g. Rails, Django, React, etc.) and/or mobile app development (iOS, Android)
- Familiarity with modern high-level programming languages such as Typescript, Go, and/or Rust
- You’ve thrown together an app or two in a high-level programming language
- You can tie business problems to technical solutions and understand technology value propositions
- Proven capacity to quickly absorb new concepts and technologies
We know there’s no such thing as an “ideal” candidate—we’re all a work in progress and are growing new skills and capabilities all the time. CircleCI welcomes those who are enthusiastic about learning and evolving, so however you identify and whatever your background, if this looks like a role where you could do work that excites you, then we hope you’ll apply.
