About the Role

Help build the next generation of developer tooling to enable our fast-growing engineering team! We’re looking for individuals with a passion for great developer tooling and developer experience to build and maintain our next generation of the tools and infrastructure necessary to scale our team into the hundreds of engineers over the next few years. You’ll work on a team of other like-minded engineers, optimizing workflows, streamlining CI and deploy pipelines, developing CLI tools, and adding enhancements to improve platform stability and observability while at the same time removing friction and reducing developer cycle times.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain internal developer tools, CLI applications, and automation frameworks that improve engineering productivity
• Develop and enhance CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and deployment automation
• Create and maintain development environment setup tools, including containerization and local development configurations
• Build observability and debugging tools to help engineers diagnose issues faster
• Optimize build times, test execution, and deployment processes
• Implement and maintain code quality tools (linters, formatters, static analysis)
• Partner with engineering teams to understand pain points and identify tooling opportunities
• Conduct training sessions and create documentation for internal tools
• Participate in architecture reviews and provide input on tooling implications

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years focused on developer tooling or platform engineering
• Strong programming skills in languages commonly used for tooling (Python, Go, TypeScript/JavaScript, Bash)
• Deep understanding of CI/CD concepts and experience with platforms like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI
• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Proficiency with build tools and package managers across multiple ecosystems
• Experience with monitoring and observability platforms (Datadog, New Relic, Prometheus)
• Strong communication skills with ability to understand and translate developer needs into technical solutions
• Problem-solving orientation with focus on pragmatic solutions
• Passion for developer experience and engineering productivity

We also work hard to ensure Canary is a fun and exciting place to work! Here are some of the additional benefits:

**Canary Days: ** As a company we want to ensure that the team has time to recharge. Each month we provide company wide days off to ensure there is at least one extended weekend or day off.

Self Improvement Club: We meet each month and share our personal goals for the month. Each individual is provided a budget towards any purchases that help us achieve these goals.

Professional Development Chats: We provide budget to help drive cross functional professional development conversations across the organization.

Travel Reimbursement: Team members are able to visit our offices across New York, San Francisco or Dallas when they choose, and are provided a travel stipend for doing so.  Spend time working with the team in their office, and use the rest of your time exploring a new city!

Personal Travel Reimbursement: If you stay at a hotel that Canary works with, we provide a credit towards your stay.
