• Optimize CI/CD and tooling, specifically expanding GitHub Actions, team tooling, and testing/release approaches.

• Resolve production issues by proactively identifying and fixing problems in customer deployments.

• Maintain best practices and tests to ensure enhanced stability and decreased deployment risks.

• co-owning the integration of OrioleDB into the company product

YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU

• Are an Infrastructure Expert with proven experience in management, tooling, and optimization.

• Are proficient in the Nix package management system (including flakes) alongside Ansible, Packer, Docker, QEMU/KVM, AWS, and Kubernetes.

• Have experience building for multiple architectures, specifically Linux and Darwin/macOS aarch64 targets.

• Are comfortable with polyglot environments, including builds for C/C++, Go, JavaScript, and Rust-based projects.

• Communicate clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences, especially when interacting with customers.

• Have experience in async or globally distributed teams and value independent, proactive problem-solving.

• Are willing to mentor, taking on responsibility for teaching the engineering team to use and contribute to our Nix-based work.

• Have experience with integration of emerging features into widely used managed hosted product platforms
