About the role
Design, build, and maintain Nix-native CI and deployment pipelines that take code from commit to production with zero-downtime deploys. Maintain and improve our internal package set to enable software distribution across the company and to our customers, and drive adoption of NixOS across our infrastructure.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years building internal developer platforms, build systems, or CI/CD infrastructure
- Hands-on experience with a Nix-based build system or comparable for a real product with real customers
- Proven experience delivering software reliably for a live system with a large user base, including zero-downtime deployment practices
- Experience managing high-consequence systems where reliability and correctness directly impact customers
- Experience owning and optimizing a large CI system and compute pool — resource management, pipeline performance, and bottleneck analysis
- Deep understanding of how build systems and packaging ecosystems work (Nix, Nixpkgs, NixOS, or comparable systems such as Bazel)
More about this role
This position is based in either Marina Del Rey (LA) or San Francisco onsite. We are open to connecting with local candidates and those open to relocation.
About Revel
Revel is building the software infrastructure that controls the world's most critical hardware systems — across aerospace, energy, robotics, defense, and advanced manufacturing. Our platform replaces outdated tooling with a modern, high-performance stack for commanding, monitoring, and deploying real-world systems. Engineers rely on Revel to operate hardware where safety, speed, reliability, and clarity matter. As we scale, we are tackling complex data challenges around ingesting and analyzing large volumes of high-frequency, high-cardinality telemetry.
Role Overview
Revel's engineering team has rebuilt its software build system on Nix and is just getting started. We're extending that investment into NixOS and a broader Nix-based deployment and CI platform. As we scale, our platform growth depends on efficient, reliable, and high-signal testing and verification strategy that leverages a large compute pool — and our deployment tooling is one of the most important problems left to solve in order to keep shipping...
