Cockroach Labs · New York, NY; San Mateo, CA; Toronto, Canada
Lots of tech companies disrupt. But, many fail when they try to scale. We're different. CockroachDB makes it easier for companies to build and scale apps. This is how and why we're helping some of the most innovative companies on the planet. We tackle problems head-on and focus on solutions that create lasting impact.
Cockroach Labs is hiring a staff-level software engineer for the Developer Infrastructure team, part of our Engineering Productivity organization. This role is more than a traditional build/CI-infrastructure profile that spans build systems and cloud infrastructure. Our recent focus on developing AI tooling means that you will spend time building AI tools engineers depend on every day, not just keeping CI green.
The Developer Infrastructure team builds development tools and systems that every engineer at Cockroach Labs relies on, from the CI pipeline to internal cloud and AI-powered development tools. Success in this role means partnering closely with teams across DB and Cloud Engineering, understanding where their workflows break down, and shipping tools that reduce friction.
The ideal candidate has deep build-systems experience (Bazel in particular), a strong interest in applying automation and AI tooling to engineering problems, and enough breadth to move between developer tooling (both CLI and web-based), CI systems, and cloud infrastructure as the work demands.
First month: You'll onboard as a member of the Developer Infrastructure team, learning how Cockroach Labs works across departments and how our DB and Cloud Engineering teams operate. You'll start with small, well-scoped tasks before taking on a larger starter project, with the goal of gaining exposure to a breadth of systems.
Second month: You'll take on your first medium-sized project, partnering with one or more engineers to develop a plan and deliver it.
By month three: You'll be a fully contributing team member, having owned and shipped one or more medium-sized projects, with enough familiarity to propose and scope new work and support other engineers on our development tools.
