Company mission
To manage change so software teams can innovate faster. They want to empower technology-driven organizations to do their best work – and make engineering teams more productive and innovative by managing change.
Role
Who you are
- CircleCI seeks a Software Engineer passionate about maintaining and crafting the future of services that power the heart of our product
- 3-5 years as a full time professional developer with experience building reliable, zero-downtime, observable distributed systems
- The utmost care in regards to how your code runs in production. You have familiarity with observability tools like Honeycomb, Datadog, Graylog, and Rollbar, and understand how to use that information to address a problem
- Ability to write code that’s easily readable, testable, maintainable, and documented
- Interest in improving the lives of our customers and the team, and can use just enough code with a keen eye on constraining complexity. We use Go primarily, but you'll also encounter TypeScript, and Clojure - all deployed into Kubernetes and as agents on our compute fleet
- Ability to learn and think critically about both system design and software engineering concepts and blend those perspectives pragmatically based on project needs
- Ability to quickly adapt when priorities change and making conscious tradeoffs with incomplete information
- Bonus: Experience with identity management systems, OAuth, OIDC, JWTs and/or React with Next.js
- Working transparently and collaboratively within a distributed team
- Favor toward regular, incremental delivery over precision
- Striving for continuous learning and improvement for yourself and your team
- Passionate about ensuring that all of our systems—software and human—scale smoothly
What the job involves
- You’ll work across a deep slice of our system on features and capabilities ranging from:
- User identity management
- User and group access management
- Login and browser session management
- API authentication and authorization
- Secure credentials management
- You’ll collaborate daily with dedicated colleagues across the world
- This is a full-time, fully remote role that requires you to participate in our on-call support rotation as well as incident management
- Design and build new features, simplify existing services, automate and scale our systems as we continue to rapidly grow and evolve
- Write sustainable, testable, high-quality, high-performance code
- Support, maintain, and debug production microservices in a highly complex distributed system
- Champion a culture of observability and monitoring by using operational data to help your team improve the stability and performance of our systems
- Partner with members of a cross-functional team and other partners to set the direction of our platform and product: learn about our business problems, explore solutions, weigh design tradeoffs, and prioritize them to deliver maximum value in a sustainable, incremental fashion
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Engineering has seen the rise of agile, containerisation and DevOps over the last few years. As a result, the idea of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) has grown to be an important part of the engineering space. CircleCI is one company that taps into this field, offering a lightweight and open service.
There are now a lot more companies that have a culture of continuous delivery. CircleCI specifically helps automate all the steps that occur between the time developers make changes to the code and when the application gets in front of the customer. The company has a strong tailwind from this macro trend and their product is loved by engineers, putting them in a strong place to build a strong business.
Services in the sector have grown constricted and cost-heavy, but in 2022, CircleCI debuted a free tier service for engineering teams in a move away from this. By offering flexibility across an increased number of major platforms, including Docker, Windows, and MacOS, the company works towards its ultimate aim to empower technology-driven organisations.
