- Strong experience with Jenkins, Groovy pipeline scripts, and scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or JavaScript
- Experience with Terraform or similar IaC tools

Desirable
- Docker and Containerization experience (or other similar services) for containerization practices, ensuring efficient deployment and management of services
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Senior Developer Experience (DevEx) Software Engineer to join our team
- The DevEx team is focused on the overall experience for all of the Engineers at Vestwell by improving the tooling, infrastructure and documentation that we use to produce software
- In this role, you will be responsible for enhancing our existing Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) infrastructure, empowering our developers and test engineers to write, test, and deploy code more efficiently
- You will work closely with our SDET team, DevOps team, and agile Engineering Squads to streamline the development lifecycle and drive operational excellence
- Improve and maintain our CI/CD pipeline built on Jenkins using groovy pipeline scripts, ensuring robust and scalable processes that reduce the time and effort required for code integration and deployment
- Develop and maintain automation tools and scripts in Python, Bash, and JavaScript to support CI/CD operations where existing solutions fall short
- Collaborate on capturing GitHub settings and permissions in code using Terraform, ensuring a consistent and reproducible environment
- Act as a key resource for development teams, helping to resolve CI/CD-related issues, and providing guidance on best practices
- Work closely with DevOps to align on goals and objectives, and with engineering teams to understand their workflows and improve their development experience
- Advocate for and implement new technologies and practices that will drive efficiency and innovation within our development processes
- Create and maintain documentation on CI/CD processes and tools, and conduct training sessions to upskill the engineering team
Application process
- It starts the same for every candidate: getting to know the team members through 1 - 2 conversations about Vestwell, your experience, and your interests
- Next steps can vary by role, but the usual next steps are a skill or experience screen (e.g. a coding interview for an Engineer, a portfolio review for a Designer, deeper experience call for other roles) which leads to a virtual or in-person interview panel after that if the screens go well
- Before making an offer, our interview process concludes with a references check stage for your recruiter to meet with a current or former supervisor and peer
