About the role

Software Engineer on the Builder Tools team responsible for CI/CD infrastructure, internal tooling, and AI-assisted development workflows to accelerate Hadrian’s engineering teams.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipeline libraries that abstract build, release, and deployment events for use across multiple engineering teams
  • Design and build internal tools, APIs, and CLI utilities that reduce developer friction and automate recurring engineering tasks — dependency upgrades, credential rotation, routine maintenance
  • Help make Hadrian's internal systems API-ready for AI coding agents; build harness tooling, context systems, and feedback loops that improve the quality of AI-generated contributions in our codebase
  • Instrument and monitor developer productivity systems; surface bottlenecks and measure the impact of tooling improvements through clear metrics
  • Partner with application development teams to identify needs, implement CI/CD best practices, and drive adoption of new tooling across the org
  • Join the on-call rotation to support systems and services during production incidents; contribute to root cause analyses and postmortems
  • Participate in code reviews and author technical proposals that raise the engineering bar for the Builder Tools team

Qualifications

  • 5–8 years of software engineering experience, with at least 2–3 years focused on CI/CD, developer tooling, or build infrastructure
  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining complex CI/CD pipelines and build infrastructure — pipeline-as-code, artifact management, multi-environment deployments
  • Strong programming fundamentals in Go, Python, TypeScript, or similar; track record of writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code
  • Experience with Docker and container orchestration (Kubernetes or similar)
  • Solid understanding of source control concepts and practical Git experience
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot complex systems and resolve issues efficiently
  • A developer empathy mindset: you build tools that are easy to adopt, well-documented, and reduce toil rather than create it
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
