Staff Software Engineer
You will define and own the technical strategy for test infrastructure across engineering, build and operate core Developer Infrastructure Test services, and reduce the time from code to test results. You will drive reliability by cutting flakiness, ensure end to end system ownership with SLOs, observability and on-call readiness, collaborate with engineering teams to remove bottlenecks, and mentor other engineers to scale test infrastructure practices.
Responsibilities
- Define and own the technical strategy for test infrastructure across engineering with speed of feedback as the primary design constraint
- Build and operate core Developer Infrastructure Test services such as test execution orchestration, smart test selection, parallel sharding, flaky-test detection and suppression, and test result storage and analysis
- Relentlessly reduce the time between code written and test results in hand with every minute saved on test feedback compounds across thousands of engineers and PRs per day
- Drive flakiness down so test signals are trustworthy by default and engineers never waste time rerunning or second guessing results
- Own your systems end to end with SLOs, observability, and on call readiness
- Partner closely with engineering teams to understand where test infrastructure is slowing them down and fix it
- Mentor engineers across Developer Infrastructure Test and DevInfra, set technical standards that scale beyond your direct work, and shape how the org approaches test infrastructure problems
Requirements
- 10+ years building and operating production software with strong fundamentals in distributed systems and proficiency in Go
- Proven track record of defining and delivering technical strategy for foundational systems and guiding dependent teams
- Hands on experience in test infrastructure including test execution at scale flaky test detection test selection sharding and test result analysis
- Strong operational instincts including reliability security and observability
- Proven ability to drive complex cross team technical projects to completion without direct authority over the people involved
- Customer focused mindset measuring success by the impact of systems on engineers
- Ability to responsibly use generative AI tools and copilots in daily workflows and apply human in the loop practices to deliver business ready outputs and drive improvements in efficiency cost and quality
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) retirement plan
- Remote work options
