## 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)
