A Little About Us

The Central Tech Developer Experience (DX) team builds and operates the core platform infrastructure that powers software delivery across Yahoo. We own the overarching CI/CD ecosystem, artifact repositories (Artifactory), release pipelines, and GitOps deployment engines (ArgoCD). Operating with a product-first mindset, our squad builds enterprise golden paths, reduces developer friction, and deploys AI-augmented automation workflows to eliminate operational toil for engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Platform Initiative Execution: Own and deliver key components of developer platform initiatives across CI/CD pipeline modernization, artifact management, developer tooling, and company-wide ArgoCD GitOps rollouts.

• AI-Augmented Engineering Workflows: Utilize AI pair-programming and automation tools (such as GitHub Copilot Enterprise and Anthropic Claude via AWS Bedrock) to rapidly generate, refactor, and test reusable CI/CD actions, deployment manifests, and platform scripts.

• Automated Config Validation & Triage: Inspect, validate, and troubleshoot AI-assisted or agent-generated platform configurations and exception queues, ensuring automated pipeline migrations meet production correctness and security standards.

• Golden Path & Paved Road Delivery: Build and maintain reusable pipeline templates, standardized build workflows, and clear developer documentation that make approved golden paths easy for application squads to adopt.

• Artifact & Infrastructure Support: Support artifact publish/consume patterns (Artifactory, container registries), assist with CI compute runner optimization, and resolve complex pipeline break/fix issues.

• Developer Enablement & Adoption: Serve as a primary technical contact for application squads through platform rollouts—running office hours, guiding migration steps, and gathering feedback to iterate on platform tooling.

• Platform Quality & Observability: Instrument pipeline automation with telemetry, monitoring time-to-green metrics, build flakiness, and reliability trends to drive continuous platform improvement.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

• 5+ years of professional software development or platform engineering experience, with a deep focus on CI/CD pipeline design and troubleshooting (IC4 level).

• Hands-on expertise with enterprise CI/CD platforms (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI) and writing reusable workflow modules.

• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, LLM coding assistants) to accelerate code generation, debugging, and documentation.

• Experience working with artifact management platforms (e.g., Artifactory) and release promotion patterns.

• Demonstrated ability to independently own and deliver squad-level software features, technical migrations, or internal tools.

• Strong technical writing skills for creating clear developer playbooks, API documentation, and migration guides.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with GitOps deployment frameworks (e.g., ArgoCD), including repository structuring, environment promotion workflows, and secrets management.

• Experience participating in evaluation loops or validation checks for automated/agentic AI tooling operating on developer infrastructure.

• Proven experience building custom platform scripts or tools against enterprise developer APIs (GitHub REST/GraphQL APIs, Artifactory APIs).

• Practical familiarity with security-minded platform practices, including least-privilege secrets management and pipeline security scanning.
