Software Infrastructure Engineer

Job Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer specializing in Build DevOps to join our team and support our Build infrastructure, with a focus on Android development. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the Android build ecosystem, including Gradle and Soong, and the expertise required to achieve high-uptime, high-reliability continuous build and deployment in the cloud. You will work on improving our builds in both reliability and performance, eliminating non-deterministic failures, and directly improving developer productivity. You will help shape our practices to achieve a highly resilient system capable of handling hundreds of thousands of monthly builds with zero tolerance for downtime.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of Android CI pipelines, providing immediate, daily support for outages and breakages.


• Implement or develop modern distributed caching mechanisms to ensure CI builds happen in minutes instead of hours, and actively diagnose cache failures, misses, or poison.


• Continuously profile build scans to identify trends and common failure modes, buffering developers from context switching.


• Diagnose non-hermetic and non-deterministic behavior within builds and invent defensive mechanisms to prevent future occurrences.


• Tune builds specifically for the unique constraints imposed by containerization and cloud environments.


• Act as a governing body over tool use across teams, defining best practices for clean, sane builds at a large scale.


• Continuously upgrade systems and align our infrastructure with the latest Android build ecosystem best practices.

Required Qualifications

• BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.


• Deep domain expertise in DevOps and extensive knowledge of the Android build ecosystem.


• Proven experience using Gradle and Soong for both local builds and high-reliability cloud deployments.


• Knowledge of Bazel, Buck, or other similar build system technologies


• Experience managing build architecture at a massive scale (e.g., hundreds of thousands of builds).


• Strong Git skills (repo tools, submodules, git-lfs).


• Proficient with Linux/Bash/Python scripting.


• Passion for build systems, CI/CD, and eliminating developer bottlenecks.

Preferred Qualifications

• GitLab CI experience.


• Virtualization and containerization environment experience (Docker/Podman) to assist with cloud-constrained build tuning.


• Experience transitioning legacy or \"script-heavy\" build pipelines into modern, scalable architectures.
