## About the role

The Matter Compiler runs on a fleet of nodes that control real-world equipment. Every build, release, and deployment that reaches that fleet goes through infrastructure this role owns: the build system for a multi-package monorepo that ships to several architectures, the CI/CD pipeline from push to green, the artifact store and shared cache, and the path that deploys software to about 80 nodes today and thousands of devices across several metros by 2027. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Ownership of a build system for a repository with many packages and more than one build target, including what was wrong with it and what you changed
- Ownership of a CI/CD system end to end, including rollback, with an opinion on what made deployments safer over time
- Deep fundamentals in build reproducibility and caching: why a test passes locally and fails in CI, what belongs in a cache key, and how a correct key can still serve a wrong artifact
- Deep fundamentals in fleet deployment: why mutable tags cause drift, how to deploy by digest, and how a node that has been offline rejoins production safely
- Experience designing failure paths that are concrete: what times out, what safe state is left behind, and what the next engineer sees
- A record of production incidents you diagnosed to root cause, with a mechanism, a measurement, and a fix
