## About the role

Build System Architecture: Design and own the build system that turns a large, hierarchical RTL and verification codebase into reproducible, incremental, cacheable builds. We use Buck2; you'll own the rule set, the dependency model, and the remote-execution and caching strategy as the design grows. Continuous Integration: Design the pipelines that gate design changes, with a particular focus on build and test selection, so each change runs the smallest set of long-running tests that can catch its regressions. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- Experience designing and implementing complex build systems with hierarchical dependencies: dependency graphs, incrementality, hermeticity, and caching
- Hands-on experience with Bazel and/or Buck, specifically writing rules and macros
- Experience designing continuous integration systems, especially dependency-aware build and test selection
- Experience with job scheduling for long-running, resource-constrained workloads (Slurm, LSF, Kubernetes, or similar)
- Experience with distributed storage systems and the tradeoffs they impose on consistency, locality, caching, and retention
