About the Role
Own the developer loop end to end, including build graph, remote caching and execution, test policy, and pipeline speed and cost. Consolidate codebases on Bazel in a monorepo model, replacing fragmented, per-repo build and CI setups, all while live trading systems ship every day without breaking a release pipeline.
Responsibilities
- Lead a small team of strong engineers while staying hands-on: set direction, clear obstacles, and help the team's experts do their best work.
- Own the developer loop end to end: build graph, remote caching and execution, test policy, and pipeline speed and cost.
- Consolidate CTC's codebases on Bazel in a monorepo model, replacing fragmented, per-repo build and CI setups.
- Do all of this while live trading systems ship every day, without breaking a release pipeline.
Requirements
- Led build or CI work for an engineering org of 100+ people, and still credible in the details.
- Fluent in C++, Java and Python builds, and deep in Bazel or a similar system (Buck2, Pants) at scale: C++ toolchains, remote execution, cache behavior, and flaky-test policy.
- Consolidated codebases into a monorepo, ideally including migrating a large Java/Gradle or C++ (CMake/Conan) codebase to Bazel.
- Measures what they build, and can cite before-and-after numbers for platform work led.
- Treats developers as customers. Migrations get adopted because it's easy to move off the old system, not because they are mandated.
- Experience in uptime-critical or latency-sensitive domains is a plus.
