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.

Minimum Requirements

  • 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

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
