You mentor teammates with empathy, patience, and respect. You cooperate with engineering leadership to establish, update, and maintain process to ensure transparency and alignment across the entire engineering organization.

On this team, you will:

About you

We’re looking for someone who enjoys collaboration, is curious and interested in learning, brings strong communication and teamwork skills, and helps others grow by sharing their expertise and encouraging best practices.

If this sounds like you, here’s the additional experience we’re looking for:

• 8+ years experience in software development and architecture design, as well as substantial experience in functional programming paradigms.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems with the desire and knowledge to improve them.
• Expertise in database maintenance, migrations, and optimization, particularly with PostgreSQL.
• Experience following domain-driven design principles and maintaining them as systems evolve.

If you’re interested in joining the team at CircleCI, please send a resumé and cover letter describing what inspires you and why you think you are a good fit for the team. If you contribute to an open-source project, write a blog, or have a presence on the web (GitHub, Twitter, Stack, etc.) we would love to hear about it.
