Cockroach Labs is looking for a software engineer for the Developer Infrastructure team. Our work spans a range of disciplines, including software engineering, software builds, CI/CD systems, cloud infrastructure, information security, and automated testing.
The Developer Infrastructure team builds development tools and systems to enable all of Engineering at Cockroach Labs. Our work has a broad-reaching impact on teams who rely on these tools on a daily basis. Our tools encompass the workflow of the entire engineering team, ranging from the CI pipeline to internal hosting infrastructure. Success in this role means collaborating with many engineering teams and improving workflows for engineers working in different domains between database and cloud engineering.

Some examples of work that the team is doing:
The ideal candidate will have broad experience in software engineering, continuous integration systems, software builds / version control systems, automation, and cloud infrastructure. They will enjoy working on a variety of problems from project to project.
In the first month, you will become an integrated member of the Developer Infrastructure team. You will spend most of your first two weeks learning about how Cockroach Labs works across all departments and become familiar with our DB and Cloud engineering teams. You will start with small tasks before taking on larger starter projects to become familiar with our systems and development workflow and gain exposure to the workings of CockroachDB and CockroachDB Cloud. We believe it is essential for you to take this first month to become familiar with our technology and our company.
In your second month, you’ll take on your first medium-sized starter project with a greater scope that will take several weeks to finish -- you’ll be partnered with one or more engineers to plan and complete this project.
By the end of the third month, you will be a fully contributing member of the developer infrastructure team, having successfully owned and completed one or more medium-sized projects. You will also have gained enough familiarity with our systems to propose and scope projects, and you’ll be able to engage with other Cockroach Labs engineers to answer questions and support our development tools.
