Snowflake's Engineering Systems organization is seeking a Software Engineer to join the Continuous Integration team. This team is responsible for building and maintaining the systems that power builds, tests, validation, and developer workflows across Snowflake's engineering organization. You will help design, develop, and operate distributed systems that support thousands of engineers working on a rapidly growing multi-cloud codebase.
In this role, you will design and develop reliable, scalable CI services and infrastructure. You'll build services and tooling that improve build reliability, test execution, developer productivity, and software delivery velocity. You will contribute to the architecture and implementation of scalable CI infrastructure across cloud environments, develop reliable APIs and services using languages such as Java, C++, Python, or Go, and investigate and resolve issues involving build failures, test infrastructure, performance, reliability, and developer workflows.
You will partner with engineers across Snowflake to understand CI needs and deliver solutions that are simple, scalable, and easy to operate. You'll participate in design reviews, code reviews, testing, and production support. You'll apply strong engineering judgment to improve system performance, reliability, security, and maintainability, and help evolve CI practices, tooling, and operational processes as Snowflake grows. You'll also contribute to an inclusive engineering culture through collaboration, documentation, and knowledge sharing.
