Responsibilities
- Own and drive the strategy for developer experience improvements across the entire JCP platform.
- Optimize build systems (Gradle, Nx, and others) for faster builds, better caching, and reliable reproducibility at scale.
- Set up AI development pipelines, managing context, agents, and handoffs, and leveraging tools developed within the JCP.
- Improve CI/CD pipelines – reduce build times, increase reliability, optimize resource usage, and shorten feedback loops across TeamCity and GitHub.
- Improve containerized development workflows (Docker, Dev Containers) to ensure fast and consistent local environments.
- Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the development cycle – from code commit to production deployment.
- Establish best practices, tooling standards, and shared infrastructure that enable all teams to move faster.
- Collaborate with platform and product teams to understand pain points and deliver high-impact improvements.
Requirements
- Extensive experience with build systems (Gradle, Maven, or Bazel) and a track record of optimizing them at scale.
- Strong expertise in CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, TeamCity, Jenkins, or similar) and knowledge of ensuring high performance and reliability.
- Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized development workflows.
- Understanding of the full software development life cycle and ability to reason about developer productivity holistically.
- Ability to drive cross-team initiatives and influence engineering practices across a large organization.
- Motivation by making other engineers more productive and removing friction from their daily work.
Nice to Have
- Experience improving the developer experience at scale in a platform or infrastructure organization.
- Worked on AI-driven development pipelines.
- Expertise in build caching, remote execution, and incremental build strategies.
- Contributed to or maintained open-source build tooling or CI/CD infrastructure.
- Enjoy digging into performance problems and turning slow, flaky processes into fast, reliable ones.
