- Architecting long-term technical strategy and roadmap for core developer infrastructure, including CI/CD pipelines, source control management, and development environments, ensuring systems scale reliably as engineering teams grow
- Building and maintaining robust, scalable infrastructure capable of handling increasing operational loads with focus on speed, safety, and reliability
- Leading strategy for developer onboarding and remote development environments, reducing time-to-first-commit and enabling engineers to be productive from day one
- Collaborating with engineering teams across Robinhood to standardize build and CI patterns, eliminate developer friction, and champion high engineering standards
- Providing technical mentorship to engineers on the team, conducting rigorous design reviews, and establishing best-practice operational guidelines
You bring extensive experience designing, scaling, and operating critical developer infrastructure or high-volume build and CI systems in production environments. You have deep expertise in modern build systems such as Bazel and distributed/remote build execution, with strong understanding of CI/CD at scale. You are proficient in Go or Python with a track record of building reliable, maintainable system software. You have proven ability to guide complex technical initiatives from conception to completion, aligning technical execution with company-wide objectives. Strong communication and collaboration skills enable you to advocate for tooling adoption, drive improvements, and mentor other engineers.
