• Build Modernization: Introduce maintainable, scalable build technology while preserving existing product capabilities.
• Developer Productivity: Reduce build times, improve diagnostics, and ensure consistency across developer and CI environments. Own and enhance local developer tooling, including build scripts and containerized dev environments. Lead CI/CD design and maintenance in collaboration with DevOps where needed, and drive release automation and artifact promotion workflows to streamline delivery.
• Build Systems and Toolchains: Own C/C++, Go, and npm build workflows, including compilers, linkers, flags, dependencies, and configuration.
• Reproducible Environments: Standardize containerized and host build environments and maintain local, CI, and release branch consistency.
• Internal Build Automation: Maintain orchestration utilities for component builds, full-product builds, packaging, and deployment preparation.
• Failure Diagnosis: Resolve compiler, linker, dependency, packaging, platform, and developer-versus-CI issues.
• Artifacts and Packaging: Produce versioned container images and Debian/RPM packages; validate dependencies, installation, upgrades, and rollback.

Who can apply

• CI and Artifact Repositories: Integrate builds with CI platforms and repositories such as Nexus, JFrog Artifactory, Harbor, or Quay.
• Build Performance: Improve clean and incremental build times through caching, parallelism, dependency tracking, and measurement.
• Build-System Modernization: Inventory SCons logic and evaluate CMake, Meson/Ninja, Bazel, and other suitable alternatives.
• Prototyping and Migration: Benchmark alternatives and deliver staged migration with compatibility, validation, and rollback plans.
• Multi-Platform Delivery: Support multiple processor architectures, Linux distributions, build variants, and release branches.
• Technical Leadership: Write designs, set standards, review changes, mentor engineers, and drive cross-team decisions.
• Experience: 8+ years in software, build engineering, developer infrastructure, or a closely related field.
• C/C++ Builds: Strong Linux compilation and linking knowledge with GCC/Clang and SCons, Make, CMake, Meson, Ninja, or Bazel.
