Deliver production-ready software at AI speed. CircleCI helps modern teams validate, test, and ship every change with intelligent automation. Backed by 500 Global, IVP and Sapphire.
About the role
This role is open to candidates based in Europe or in the Eastern time zone. You've stopped waiting for AI to mature and are already building with it, not as a productivity trick, but as a core part of how you think about problems. You care about the engineers using your tools as much as the code behind them. You're drawn to work where the patterns don't exist yet and the best answer requires you to invent it with the people who'll use it. If that's how you already operate, we want to talk. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Build AI-natively. AI is how we work. It's not a productivity layer on top of engineering, but the default starting point for how problems get approached and solved
- Build platforms, not one-offs. Build and support shared tooling that other teams depend on, and own its adoption as much as its delivery. A tool nobody uses isn't done
- Measure what matters. Instrument agent usage and outcomes so we know what improves throughput and quality and what just burns tokens. Treat cost, model choice, and reliability as design concerns
- Make build-vs-buy calls. Evaluate models, vendors, and open-source tools against our needs, and choose the path that gets engineers the most leverage
- Lead through influence. Write the design docs, lead technical discussions across teams, and mentor engineers across the org as they adopt agentic workflows
More about this role
CI/CD has been solved. Now it's being reinvented. AI agents don't just run pipelines. They write code, trigger builds, interpret failures, and propose fixes. The interfaces that developers use to understand and trust that work don't exist yet. We're building them.
At CircleCI, our guiding principles aren't posters on a wall. We learn fast: we run experiments, accept failure, and scale what works. We think like the customer: every decision connects back to the developer sitting in front of a failing build at 2 am. We own the outcome: not just our slice of it, but the whole thing. If that's how you already work, you'll fit here.
Delivery Engineering enables CircleCI engineers to deliver quickly, confidently, and securely. We provide the tools and resources that make standard patterns and best practices simple to adopt, and we reduce toil.
Our current focus is the agentic software development lifecycle: how changes are found, planned, built, reviewed, merged, and measured as AI agents take on more of the work. We evaluate the harnesses, repository patterns, skills, and agentic tooling available, decide what our teams should standardize on, and build and support the shared tooling...
