About this role
BuildBuddy was founded to make developers more productive. Today we're solving a small piece of this problem with an open-core remote build execution platform for Bazel - but our ambitions are much larger. Our mission is to take the world class engineering tools that are only available to employees of large companies and make them available to everyone.
We're looking for a Senior SRE to help us fulfill this mission. You'll scale our stack (Golang, Typescript, React, Bazel, Protobuf) on GCP to support hundreds of customers and millions of QPS. From driving large technical projects to understanding the nitty gritty details of the Bazel build event protocol - you'll have your fingerprints all over our open-source and internal codebases.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of how engineers build and test software.
You will
Plan for growth, and scale our platform and infrastructure
Work with the team to identify opportunities and implement solutions that improve our reliability and resiliency
Build solutions that improve the developer experience and product overall
Debug and fix complex production issues across the stack
We're looking for someone who
Has a strong understanding of reliability practices, distributed systems, and cloud native architectures
Has extensive Unix/Linux experience and has successfully scaled systems before
Can manage priorities and make progress on complex problems without supervision
Works well with others and is open to feedback as well as mentoring others and helping the team grow
