Senior Software Engineer, Sources of Change

At CircleCI, we enable developers to do better work every day. We focus solely on helping our customers ship quality code, faster. Our organization is growing to meet the demands of our customers, and we need an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our adventure in the Sources of Change team!

In our team we strive to optimally add new triggers to empower our customers to automatically validate change from their systems.

As a team member, you’ll own crucial microservices and build features at the heart of our platform. You’ll also collaborate daily with empathetic, passionate, and creative colleagues all across the globe.

CircleCI Engineering Competency Matrix:

The Engineering Competency Matrix is our internal career growth system for engineers. This position is level E3. If you’re not sure this is you, we encourage you to apply. Find more about the matrix in this blog post.

What You’ll Do:

Design and build new features, simplify existing services, and scale our systems as we rapidly grow and evolve.
Write sustainable, testable, high-quality, high-performance code.
Support, maintain, and debug microservices in a complex distributed system.
Foster a culture of observability and monitoring: use operational data to help your team increase the stability, performance, and usage of our systems.
Partner with members of a multi-functional team and other collaborators to set the direction of our product: learn about our business problems, explore solutions, weigh design tradeoffs, write effective user stories, and prioritize them to deliver maximum value in a balanced, incremental fashion.

What You’ll Bring:

3+ years of professional experience building and debugging distributed systems in production environments.
You enthusiastically approach everything from API design to HTML/CSS with the same level of respect and intention. You don’t need to be an expert in everything; T-shaped folks with an emphasis on frontend skills are ideal for these roles.
You’re interested in learning new languages and technologies. We use JavaScript/TypeScript/React, Go and Clojure, MongoDB and PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ, but it’s okay if you haven’t yet. You can find more details on our tech stack here.
You've developed skills in navigating and crafting the dynamics of a rapidly-growing company with a remote-first culture: quickly adapting when priorities change and making conscious tradeoffs with incomplete information.

We’re Particularly Interested In People Who:

Work transparently and collaboratively within a distributed team.
Favor regular, incremental delivery over perfection.
Strive for continuous learning and improvement for themselves and their teams.
