CircleCI is looking for an experienced software engineer with Windows experience to help us shape the future of our build execution platform. 

In this role, you’d be part of a small, distributed team of back end engineers and SRE folks working on the software and infrastructure that powers the CircleCI build system. We’re a fast-growing company now often scheduling up to 3k jobs per minute. We’re running 12M+ builds per month – more than double compared to one year ago.

You would be working at the very core of our product, enabling hundreds of thousands of developers to do their work better every day. We’re looking for someone who’s curious to develop a deep understanding of our system and to solve challenging problems at scale while delivering new capabilities to our customers. If you want to write sustainable, resilient code in a team that values collaboration, trust, and learning, you may be the person we’re looking for.

You will have direct impact in the following ways:

  • Identify and recommend additional opportunities for growth in the Windows ecosystem.
  • Improve our systems level tooling and programming to make our system more robust and reliable.
  • Solve complex operational challenges in tandem with other teams from engineering, SRE, and support.
  • Maintain our Windows images and improve our DSC pipeline.
  • Utilize containers, container orchestration, and virtualization, allowing us to scale our distributed fleet through our next growth phase.
  • Improve our architecture together with our engineering teams.
  • Write high-quality, sustainable, high-performance code, primarily in Go.
  • Help us shape how we design, release, and maintain microservices.
  • Set the direction of our platform together with your team and product owners.
  • Participate in your team’s on-call rotation.

  • SRE or DevOps background preferred.
  • Experience building Win32 applications.
  • Experience building and debugging distributed systems.
  • Proficiency in one or more of Go, C, or C++.
  • Proficiency with Powershell.
  • Comfortable mentoring others as the subject-matter expert in the Windows development domain.
  • Focus on delivering high-quality code through strong testing practices.
  • Strong communication skills and a desire to learn and collaborate closely with your team in synchronous and asynchronous formats.
