The Developer Efficiency team is responsible for the systems that drive engineering productivity and reliable software delivery across the build, test, and deployment phases of the software development life cycle. Our goal is to make all Plaid engineers more productive via the components we own within Plaid\'s Internal Developer Platform: CI/CD, Build Tools, Self-serve Deployments, Container Registry, Developer Portal, Service Catalog, and Feature Flagging. We also partner closely with adjacent teams such as Core Infrastructure, Observability, and Security with the goal of providing well-lit paths for common developer workflows to drive best-practices for operational maturity throughout the company.

As an engineer in this area, you will drive significant improvements to engineering productivity for Plaid. You will initially be responsible for executing projects spanning build tools (e.g. bazel) and CI/testing infrastructure. Furthermore, your work will also contribute to driving a strong culture of engineering excellence and code quality throughout Plaid. Your work will allow you to learn from experienced engineers on the team, multiple architecture leads, and a PM who has worked in this space extensively.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop systems that optimize the build/test experience for Plaid engineers.
• Improve both the run-time and cost efficiency of our developer infrastructure.
• Participate in technical design reviews, and collaborate with experienced engineering leaders.
• Engage as an active member of our on-call rotation.

Qualifications

• Good code-reviewing skills.
• Awareness of how to drive operational maturity (e.g. SLIs and SLOs).
• Excellent communication skills.
• Experience with bazel and working in a monorepo (nice to have).
• Experience with Golang, Protocol Buffers, Docker, and Kubernetes (nice to have).
