Bazel Architect - Pacific timezone

We are looking for a Software Architect to join our team. Do you believe that correct, efficient, and reliable builds are critical for developers to work and collaborate effectively? Do you want to help us push the industry towards better build practices?

About You

You are a tinkerer, who enjoys deliberating and solving difficult problems. You have patience and pragmatism in approach and have a natural ability to adapt and apply the discoveries you make.

You are a communicator, empathetic in understanding your client’s needs and showing care in their individual concerns. You are assertive and precise, able to convey a cohesive narrative of your work and progress; able to read and write issues that clearly explain your proposed changes.

You are an effective consultant: confident, yet considerate. You are able to use open source ideals to execute practical, technical goals and confidently push forward new and principled approaches and solutions.

If you…

Have a great breadth of experience with different platforms and exposure to multiple programming languages and their build systems,
Are interested in delving deeper into the technological world to further your understanding,
Are experienced in build systems, in particular Bazel, and have a desire to become an expert in not only usage, but also infrastructure and architecture,
Know the Python packaging and dependency management ecosystem well, and
Are flexible and adaptable with excellent verbal and written communication skills,

This may be the role for you!

Core Responsibilities

Work together with client teams on their code-base
Dig into a build system and identify pain points: helping clients migrate to a system that better suits their needs and scales with their use-case, making their setup more efficient
Contribute to open source projects linked to build systems such as Bazel and their extensions, e.g. ruleshaskell, rulesnixpkgs, rules_scala.
Participate in public communication via giving talks, writing blog posts, and communicating with colleagues and the Bazel community on Slack and in mailing lists

For this specific role Pacific Time Zone overlap is required. In addition, reliable high speed internet is a must
