# Principal Software Engineer

About the team: Our department, internally called "Faster, Safer Releases," has three areas: CDRO Classic (CloudBees CD/RO, our established, self-managed release orchestration product, still very much serving customers today), Unify Release Orchestration (Unify RO, its newer sibling, delivered as a SaaS), and Unify FM (feature management). You'd help shape the technical direction of Unify RO alongside the engineers already building it, who are rethinking what release orchestration can look like rather than porting CDRO Classic. You'll join a core team of experienced engineers, and many more people contribute to the RO codebase beyond that: engineers from other teams across the department often land on it. You won't manage anyone. You'll be a go-to technical contact for RO work happening outside the core team, and you'll share accountability with the core team for the codebase's long-term health, including bridging to CDRO Classic customers curious about Unify RO and pushing internal dogfooding so CloudBees' own teams ship their own PRs faster and safer, alongside Unify FM. What you'll do: Help shape where Unify RO goes Learn the current RO architecture from the people who built
