Senior Software Engineer

Overview

As a Senior Systems Software Engineer on the Build & Delivery team, you will own the backend services and infrastructure of Starburst's self-service delivery platform, which every team uses to ship across Starburst Enterprise, Galaxy, and customer-managed deployments.

What you'll do

• Design and build the core services and infrastructure of the delivery platform, following the immutable cloud infrastructure paradigm, consistent across Starburst Enterprise, Galaxy, and customer-managed deployments
• Build the merge-orchestration and gating systems that keep the mainline green by construction, including flaky-test detection and auto-quarantine
• Build Testing-as-a-Service: shared, on-demand test infrastructure, intelligent test selection, and unified coverage and quality gates for every team
• Build the service that provisions production-like environments on demand, so every change is proven and dogfooded before customers see it
• Design the AI workflows in the delivery loop (test maintenance, failure triage, and remediation), validated before rollout
• Own the reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency of the platform in production
• Continuously improve engineering processes, tests, and systems that allow the code base and team productivity to scale
• Provide considerate and timely review of peers' pull requests and design proposals

What you'll need

• Passion for software engineering, with an interest in build, delivery, and infrastructure engineering in particular
• Experience designing, building, and operating distributed backend systems in production
• Experience building for reliability, scalability, and efficiency at scale
• Experience developing software in Java and Typescript
• Cloud infrastructure architecture and orchestration experience
• Experience with infrastructure as code and related tooling such as Pulumi or Terraform
• Interest in applying AI and agentic workflows to engineering problems, with a validate-then-deploy discipline
• Demonstration of ownership, grit, and bias for action

Nice to have

• Prior experience building CI/CD, merge queues, test infrastructure, or ephemeral environments
• Prior experience in developing for or operating Trino
