As a fully remote, global company, we’re rewriting the rules of modern business. Named GP Bullhound’s 2024 Top 100 Next Unicorn list, certified as a Great Place to Work, and recognized by Flexa for true flexibility, we’re growing fast and looking for top talent to join our team. If you’re excited to do meaningful work and make real impact, keep reading, this role could be the one you’ve been waiting for.

About the Role:

As the Senior Software Engineer, Engineering Operations, you will own, develop and continuously improve the core engineering processes that keep a 130+ person engineering organization running - including our Camunda 8 product release train, incident workflow management, on-call process governance, internal tooling integrations, and engineering metrics collection.

Your north star is time returned to engineering organization and meaningful improvement in how teams work day-to-day enjoying operational excellence in place.

This hands-on, high-impact engineering role treats these processes as products: thoughtfully stabilizing, automating, and evolving them end-to-end so engineers can focus on building rather than navigating operational overhead. The purpose of this role is to reduce friction, strengthen reliability, and transform scattered manual effort into well-designed systems that “just work.”

What You’ll Be Doing:

•  Own and modernize engineering processes such as cross-team release automation, incident workflows, and internal tooling integrations

• Identify friction in engineering operations workflows, and take it to next level by automating and orchestrating it, ensuring scalability

• Holistically connect systems and data across GitHub, Asana, Slack, and Camunda 8 via API

• Partner with software engineers, engineering leaders and cross-team stakeholders (Product Operations, Support) to understand their workflow pain points and improve organizational experience

You would enjoy this role if:

• You get energy from removing friction and seeing whole Engineering organization move faster because of your work

• You are comfortable with ambiguity and bias for action: you create clarity by acting

• You’re not just gluing data and automating: you enjoy designing and automating internal systems and processes, so they are reliable, observable, and scale gracefully

• You want to have wide impact, influence and leverage in the Engineering organization

• You’re excited to work with Camunda 8 not just as a product, but as the orchestration backbone for internal engineering operations

• You’re an advocate for effective use of AI in Engineering, and see it as a way to accelerate iteration and discovery

• You want to collaborate with senior, thoughtful engineers and leaders, who value autonomy, trust, and ownership

What You Bring:

•  What You Will Bring to the Role:

• Ability and/or willingness to use our product

• Hands-on backend/fullstack software engineering foundation; you’re comfortable building systems integrations and automations

• Experience automating engineering or developer productivity processes (e.g. release process, incident process, metric colle
