And you'll do this while enjoying Buildkite's commitment to true work-life balance, flexible hours, and no on-call. This role is a perfect opportunity for a Software, DevOps, or Infrastructure expert who is customer obsessed and thrives on solving tough technical problems for some of the world's most innovative engineering teams.
