  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • At least 8 years of software development experience.

  • The ability to work closely across teams and manage dependencies.
  • A customer and product-focused mindset, with the ability to make well-reasoned tradeoffs between speed and quality.
  • The ability to adapt and handle multiple competing priorities in collaboration with peers.
  • Strong bias for automation.
Responsibilities
  • Improve developer feedback cycles by optimizing builds, speeding up compiling and testing.
  • Develop utilities and patterns to increase developer productivity.
  • Develop linters and other static analysis tools to increase safety.
  • Improve feedback cycles at all levels of development (examples: improving the experience of iterating on code locally, deploying to test environments, deploying to production).
  • Improve organization wide concerns (examples: identifying and fixing build bottlenecks, improving the observability of running systems, language and library upgrades).
  • Help other technologists at Gemini be more effective in their roles, through tool and library improvements.
  • Provide technical input and knowledge to the planning, design, and requirements process for new products and features.
  • Review other software engineers’ code for correctness, style, and information security concerns.
  • Improve the performance, maintainability, and operations of the Gemini code base by engaging in occasional refactoring and upgrade projects.
  • Support your team’s production software by responding to an occasional alert or bug report.
  • Be an expert and guide for Gemini’s best practices in engineering.
