About CircleCI Engineering

CI/CD has been solved. Now it's being reinvented. AI agents don't just run pipelines. They write code, trigger builds, interpret failures, and propose fixes. The interfaces that developers use to understand and trust that work don't exist yet. We're building them.

At CircleCI, our guiding principles aren't posters on a wall. We learn fast: we run experiments, accept failure, and scale what works. We think like the customer: every decision connects back to the developer sitting in front of a failing build at 2 am. We own the outcome: not just our slice of it, but the whole thing. If that's how you already work, you'll fit here.

Team-Agnostic Placement

We don't hire for a team. We hire for CircleCI. Where you land depends on where your strengths create the most leverage, and we figure that out together. You might own the CI pipeline experience, deploy and release tooling, notification infrastructure, monetization flows, AI agent surfaces, or the foundational web platform. The through line across all of it is the same: full-stack ownership, a high bar for craft, and work that directly shapes how tens of thousands of developers experience CircleCI every day.

What You'll Do

• Build AI-natively. AI is how we work. It's not a productivity layer on top of engineering, but the default starting point for how problems get approached and solved.
• Set technical direction. You define the approach others build from. When the problem is complex or the answer isn't obvious, you're the person who leads the design discussion, writes the ADR, and makes the call.
• Invent new interfaces. Software delivery is being reinvented. Pipelines run autonomously, generate fixes, and surface results that need human judgment. The tools developers use to understand, trust, and act on that work don't exist yet. You'll define what they look like and establish the patterns the team builds on.
• Own the full stack. Build features end-to-end in Go, React, and TypeScript. You don't hand off at a layer boundary. You own the outcome.
• Obsess over craft. Reliability and responsiveness are design concerns, not afterthoughts. Care about how the interface holds up when stakes are high and hold your team to that same standard.
• Champion observability. Use Honeycomb, Datadog, and Rollbar to understand and improve your systems. Operational data drives stability, not just incident response.
• Close gaps and fix the conditions that created them. You'll notice gaps and close them. When a gap reflects something broken in how the team works, you fix that too.

What You'll Bring

• AI-native engineering practices. You use AI tools daily and can speak to what you've built, where they changed your approach, and where they fall short.
• A track record of shipping. You've built something real and put it in front of users. 5+ years of production full-stack experience, with latency, responsiveness, and reliability treated as design concerns, not afterthoughts.
• Full-stack depth. Strong React and TypeScript. Comfortable owning backend services in Go: API design, data modeling, service integration.
• System design. You lead architectural decisions on complex systems. You make conscious tradeoffs, document your reasoning, and create the foundation others build on.
• Adaptability. You don't just thrive in ambiguity, you reduce it for others. You turn unclear requirements into a direction the team can execute on.
• Technical leadership. You mentor engineers, give direct feedback on technical direction, and raise the quality bar through how you engage in reviews and design discussions, not just what you ship.

Sound like you?

You've stopped waiting for AI to mature and are already building with it, not as a productivity trick, but as a core part of how you think about problems. You care about the product as much as the code. You're drawn to work where the patterns don't exist yet and the best answer requires you to invent it. If that's how you already operate, we want to talk.

Department

Platform Engineering

Who You Are

You are a tooling-focused engineer who obsesses over developer productivity. You’ve built and maintained CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and automation that makes engineering teams faster. You understand that the best developer tools disappear into the background - they just work. You’re equally comfortable debugging a flaky GitHub Actions workflow and designing a new internal CLI. You care deeply about reducing friction and cognitive load for your fellow engineers.

This is a foundational role. You’ll be one of the first dedicated engineers on a platform organization supporting 300+ engineers. You’ll shape not just the technical foundations but the culture and practices of the team.

Your Success Profile

What You Will Work On

• Own and evolve CI/CD infrastructure (GitHub Actions, deployment pipelines) to improve build times and deployment frequency
• Build and maintain our developer portal (Backstage) - service catalog, golden path templates, and TechDocs integration
• Create golden path templates for Go, Rails, and Vue.js services that bake in best practices automatically
• Build and maintain internal developer tooling that accelerates engineering workflows
• Configure and roll out AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) with organizational guardrails
• Create self-service capabilities that enable teams to ship independently - from “I need a new service” to running in staging in under 4 hours
• Drive adoption of platform capabilities through excellent documentation and developer education
• Work with our SRE team to instrument and measure developer experience metrics (build times, deploy frequency, MTTR) to identify improvement opportunities
• Implement security and compliance automation that protects without slowing teams down

How You Will Do Your Work

As a Senior Developer Experience Engineer, how results are achieved is paramount for your success and ultimately results in our success as an organization. In this role, your foundational knowledge, skills, abilities and personal attributes are anchored in the following:

Good judgment - the exercise of critical thinking, analyzing and assessing problems and implications, identifying patterns, making connections of underlying issues, understanding risks and developing mitigation strategies, and taking ownership of the outcome.

Resourcefulness - taking a can-do approach, even in the face of obstacles and constraints by assessing what’s in front of you and effectively and efficiently optimizing what you have, whether it’s working on something new or thinking about how to do something better.

Teamwork and communication - putting our collective best together through documentation, collaboration, relationship-building, listening, empathy, recruiting, and evangelism.

Influence and leadership - fostering a community of knowledge-sharing, collaboration, mentorship, and forward-thinking.

Skills and knowledge - the capacity to actively learn and apply specific domain knowledge, know-how, and best practices to continually enhance and improve.

In addition, all team members focus on aligning their behaviors to our core values known as COGIS:

• Camaraderie - Day to day you can be seen working together toward a higher purpose. You like to have fun. You’re an active listener, treat people respectfully, and have a strong desire to know and help others.
• Openness - Your default is to be open. You’re willing to share information, understand other perspectives, and consider new possibilities. You’re curious, ask open questions, and are receptive to thoughts and feedback from others.
• Grit - You demonstrate grit by having the courage to commit and persevere. You’re committed, earnest, and dive in to get the job done well with a positive attitude.
• Integrity - Simply put, do what you say and say what you’ll do. You’re honest and forthright, have a strong moral compass, and strive to match your words with your actions while leading by example.
• Simplicity - Be like Einstein: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
• 3+ years of experience building developer tooling, CI/CD systems, or infrastructure automation
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions strongly preferred)
• Experience with developer portals or internal platform tooling (Backstage strongly preferred; Cortex, Port, or similar also valuable)
• Experience with Kubernetes deployments and container orchestration
• Proficiency in at least two programming languages; polyglot mindset valued
• Frontend development skills - you’ll be building portal UI and developer-facing tools
• Strong systems thinking and ability to design for scale and reliability
• Excellent written communication - you document as you build

Nice to Have

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK, or similar)
• Experience with feature management systems (LaunchDarkly, Split, etc.)
• Familiarity with workflow engines (Temporal, etc.)
• Background in developer productivity metrics and measurement
• Experience configuring or rolling out AI coding assistants (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor)

Technologies

• CI/CD: GitHub Actions, CircleCI
• Infrastructure: Terraform, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker
• Languages: Go (primary), Python, TypeScript, Ruby - whatever fits the problem
• Platforms: Developer portals, feature flagging systems, workflow engines
• Observability: DataDog, CloudWatch

The base wage range for this position based in our New York City Office is targeted at $167,500.00 - $211,500.00 per year.
