About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer on 1-year contract to lead the way in DevOps automation and internal web tool development. You’ll play a key role in shaping our CI/CD pipelines, improving developer velocity, and building internal platforms that help our teams plan and operate more effectively.
This role blends hands-on engineering with technical leadership — guiding a small distributed team (3–4 developers including overseas contractors) while staying close to the code.

What You’ll Do

• Lead development and optimization of CI/CD pipelines using Buildkite and Harness to improve build speed, reliability, and security.

• Automate deployment workflows and integrate security scanning and post-deployment monitoring.

• Drive developer productivity through automation and process improvements.

• Architect and build an internal resource management tool for capacity planning, capitalization tracking, and program visibility.

• Deliver features like org chart visualization, resource dashboards, and integrations with JIRA, Confluence, and Excel-based data sources.

• Mentor developers, review code, and ensure best practices across DevOps and web projects.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to align technical solutions with business and operational goals.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with strengths in DevOps and web development.

• Expertise with CI/CD platforms (Buildkite, Harness) and AWS.

• Strong skills in automation scripting (Python, Bash, or similar).

• Experience building modern web apps using JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks.

• Background in monitoring, observability, and security integration.

• Proven experience leading small teams or contractors in a technical capacity.

• Clear, proactive communication and a collaborative mindset.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar IaC tools.

• Familiarity with resource or portfolio management systems.

• Exposure to AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., Cursor AI).
