Senior Software Engineer, Persona

• 7+ years of software engineering experience or equivalent practical experience
• You've built or substantially improved deploy pipelines, CI/CD systems, or release infrastructure. Not just used them, owned them
• Hands-on experience with multi-regional applications, background jobs, and database migrations. You understand the failure modes that come with operating at scale
• Proactive approach to solving problems. We want someone who tells us how to fix our problems, not someone who waits to be told

Desirable

• We're looking for a lead engineer who wants to own this problem end to end: set the vision for how Persona safely ships software at scale, then build the systems that make that vision real
• Own the hardest part of moving to continuous deployment: changing how engineers work. That means setting expectations around test coverage before merge, rethinking where QA fits in the workflow, and building an engineering culture where shipping continuously feels safe and normal
• Define what "safe to ship" means at Persona as AI-assisted development accelerates the volume and velocity of changes. Engineers are writing more code faster than ever. You'll make sure our detection, gating, and rollback systems evolve to match
• Set the strategy for how we catch bad changes before customers do; whether that's automated canary analysis, smarter CI gates, or better observability, and make sure engineers actually trust and use what we build
• Make the safe path the easy path. If doing the right thing requires extra effort or tribal knowledge, that's a problem you'll fix through better defaults, better tooling, or better standards
