Development Tooling Engineer - (Build & Test)

Requirements

• Working with build systems such as Gradle or similar, with a good understanding of build lifecycle, dependency management, and caching.
• Applying test frameworks, test impact analysis, or flakiness detection techniques.
• Designing or maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, Temporal, or similar).
• Programming in Java, Kotlin, or Python.
• Implementing developer-focused automation or tooling (e.g., internal plugins, build analyzers, or CLIs).
• Working with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform.

Nice to have

• Experience with developer portals (e.g., Spotify Backstage).
• Building build analysis or observability tooling (e.g., Gradle Profiler, Develocity Build Scans).
• Experience integrating AI-assisted systems (LLMs, internal copilots) into developer workflows.
• Understanding of monorepo architectures and dependency graph management.

What you'll be doing

• Work on systems and tooling that enhance developer experience by improving build and test performance, reliability, and automation at scale.
• Design, maintain, and evolve the build tooling ecosystem, including, custom Linters, Static Analysis Tools, and Gradle conventions/plugins.
• Optimize CI/CD pipelines and integrate intelligent tests and build selection mechanisms to reduce feedback time and increase efficiency.
• Implement automation to detect and mitigate flaky tests, dependency regressions, and slow builds.
• Enable modular, scalable, and independent build execution across a large codebase to support multiple teams and projects.
• Collaborate with engineers across product domains to identify build pain points and deliver scalable solutions.
• Continuously monitor build health and quality metrics to identify bottlenecks and drive measurable improvements.
• Introduce tools and best practices that enhance developer productivity and workflow consistency.

Perks and Benefits

• Passionate about developer experience, automation, and reducing toil.
• A problem solver who enjoys improving complex systems and workflows.
• Curious, collaborative, and comfortable working across teams.
