About the job
About CircleCI
CircleCI is the world's largest continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform, processing more than 3 million jobs a day. Companies like Hinge, HuggingFace, and Samsung use CircleCI to improve engineering team productivity. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in downtown San Francisco with a global, remote workforce.
About the Role
We don't hire for a team; we hire for CircleCI. Where you land depends on where your strengths create the most leverage. You might own the CI pipeline experience, deploy and release tooling, notification infrastructure, monetization flows, AI agent surfaces, or the foundational web platform. The through line is full-stack ownership, a high bar for craft, and work that directly shapes how tens of thousands of developers experience CircleCI every day.
What You'll Do
- Build AI-natively: AI is the default starting point for how problems get approached and solved.
- Set technical direction: lead design discussions, write ADRs, and make the call.
- Invent new interfaces for software delivery, defining what they look like and establishing patterns.
- Own the full stack: build features end-to-end in Go, React, and TypeScript.
- Obsess over craft: reliability and responsiveness are design concerns.
- Champion observability: use Honeycomb, Datadog, and Rollbar to understand and improve systems.
- Close gaps and fix the conditions that created them.
What You'll Bring
- AI-native engineering practices: use AI tools daily and can speak to what you've built.
- A track record of shipping: 5+ years of production full-stack experience.
- Full-stack depth: strong React and TypeScript, comfortable owning backend services in Go (API design, data modeling, service integration).
- System design: lead architectural decisions on complex systems.
- Adaptability: turn unclear requirements into a direction the team can execute on.
- Technical leadership: mentor engineers, give direct feedback, and raise the quality bar.
