About the job
Build and lead reliable automation for d-Matrix’s CI/CD, testing, and release pipeline, using AI and deterministic methods to diagnose failures and reduce developer toil.
What you'll do
- Build automation to diagnose and resolve pipeline failures and identify merges that cause test failures.
- Architect scalable compute and storage for build and test workloads across cloud and on-prem environments; own release engineering practices.
- Evaluate AI techniques, reduce time-to-signal, and partner with development and Quality Engineering teams to drive adoption of tools and practices.
What they ask for
- Track record of building automation that measurably reduced toil or time-to-signal in CI, release, or developer tooling.
- Release engineering experience, including versioning schemes, independent component release trains, and compatibility matrices.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building production-grade automation.
- Track record of driving tooling and best-practice adoption across teams that do not report to you.
Nice to have
- Experience with GitLab CI and merge-train workflows at scale.
- Hands-on experience building LLM-based agents or tools for developer workflows.
