TL;DR · Senior Build Engineer, Mobile Platform

Senior Build Engineer (Mobile Platform) joins the team to scale and evolve infrastructure powering development across web, services, iOS, and Android platforms. This role focuses on building high-performance build systems and resilient delivery pipelines to improve engineering velocity and reduce latency for multi-platform applications. You will architect and maintain Bazel-based build infrastructure, operate dynamic CI/CD pipelines using Buildkite and GitLab, and develop automated test pipelines for web and mobile environments. Key responsibilities include improving observability through metrics and telemetry while integrating AI-assisted development tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot into the workflow. The role requires proficiency in Python, Rust, Kotlin, Swift, or TypeScript to solve complex problems regarding build graph optimization, dependency management, and remote caching for large-scale production codebases across diverse software delivery lifecycles.

What you'll do

  • Architect, implement, and maintain scalable build systems for multi-platform codebases including web, services, iOS, and Android.
  • Design and optimize Bazel-based build infrastructure to improve performance, reliability, and reproducibility.
  • Build and operate dynamic CI/CD pipelines using platforms such as Buildkite and GitLab.
  • Develop automated test pipelines and infrastructure for web applications, backend services, and mobile platforms.
  • Improve build and test observability through metrics, telemetry, dashboards, alerting, and pipeline health analysis.
  • Implement remote caching and distributed build execution strategies to improve developer feedback loops.
  • Integrate AI-assisted development tools and workflows into the CI/CD systems and engineering environments.
  • Develop tooling for release orchestration, artifact management, and deployment workflows.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
  • 6+ years of experience in build systems, CI/CD infrastructure, or developer platform engineering.
  • Deep expertise with Bazel build systems in large-scale production environments.
  • Strong experience designing and operating dynamic pipelines using platforms such as Buildkite.
  • Experience supporting large-scale web and mobile application development environments.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Rust, Kotlin, Swift, or TypeScript.
  • Strong practical understanding of modern AI-assisted software engineering workflows and tools like Cursor or GitHub Copilot.
  • Strong understanding of system observability, including metrics, monitoring, telemetry, tracing, and operational health analysis.
