Senior Software Build Engineer

As a Senior Software Build Engineer, you will

• Design, develop, and implement software build solutions in alignment with technical requirements and project roadmaps.
• Prepare and execute technical work packages, ensuring effective planning, high-quality deliverables, and timely completion.
• Develop, maintain, and optimize build systems using Bazel, ensuring reliable, scalable, and reproducible software builds.
• Work with Bazel concepts, including rules, macros, platforms, Remote Build Execution (RBE), caching, toolchains, and hermetic builds.
• Develop and maintain software solutions using Go and Python programming languages.
• Apply modern software engineering practices, including algorithm implementation, test-driven development (TDD), and behavior-driven development (BDD).
• Implement and maintain automated software integration, build, and release processes using tools such as GitHub Actions.
• Manage source code and version control using Git, GitHub Enterprise, and IBM Rational ClearCase.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to deliver robust and maintainable build solutions.
• Identify and resolve build-related challenges, improve development workflows, and ensure software quality.
• Communicate technical challenges, progress, and outcomes effectively to stakeholders.

What You Bring to the Table

• 8-10 years of professional experience in software development and build management.
• Mandatory hands-on experience in Bazel development and a strong understanding of its core concepts.
• Practical programming experience in Go and Python.
• Strong knowledge of modern software design, development principles, and algorithm implementation.
• Experience with automated software integration and release processes.
• Hands-on experience with Git, GitHub Enterprise, and IBM Rational ClearCase.
• Understanding of software testing methodologies, including TDD and BDD.
• A strong quality mindset, problem-solving skills, and a proactive approach to engineering challenges.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment.

You should possess the ability to

• Design and implement efficient, scalable, and reliable software build systems.
• Troubleshoot complex build issues and optimize build performance through caching, toolchains, and remote execution.
• Develop and maintain reusable Bazel rules, macros, and build configurations.
• Automate build, integration, and release workflows using modern CI/CD tools.
• Plan and execute technical work packages while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines.
• Work independently and collaboratively within small, highly skilled engineering teams.
• Take ownership of deliverables and demonstrate initiative, accountability, and attention to detail.
• Communicate technical information, challenges, and results clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What we bring to the table

• An opportunity to work on advanced software build engineering and development solutions.
• A collaborative environment with experienced engineering professionals.
• Opportunities to improve build automation, software integration, and development workflows.
• Exposure to modern software engineering practices, tools, and technologies.
