Senior Software Engineer

Who We Are:

Incredibuild is the leading platform empowering developers and enterprises to radically accelerate their development cycles. We help world-leading brands like Microsoft, Citi, GM, Amazon, and Adobe shorten build times, enabling more iterations, faster product releases, and significant infrastructure savings. Our technology streamlines and accelerates everything from compilation to release automation, dramatically improving time to market for our customers. We are expanding as we modernize software development to be SaaS-driven and AI-enabled. We are now launching BuildGuard, a new product focused on securing and optimizing CI/CD pipelines and build environments for enterprise teams. If you are excited about solving hard systems problems at scale and shaping the future of secure software delivery, we would love to talk.

The role, in a nutshell:

BuildGuard sits at the intersection of build systems, distributed systems, and application security. We are looking for a senior engineer to help design and build the core platform from the ground up. This is a hands-on role with significant architectural ownership. You will work on deep build introspection, reproducibility, and real-time security analysis, all while preserving the speed and developer experience that Incredibuild is known for.

What you’ll do:

• Architect and implement BuildGuard’s core engine in Go.
• Integrate with build systems such as Make, Ninja, and Bazel
• Analyze compiler behavior, dependency graphs, and build artifacts
• Design hermetic and reproducible build mechanisms
• Process large volumes of build logs and artifacts efficiently

Own Architecture and Technical Direction:

• Define system boundaries, data flows, and scalability strategy
• Translate complex and ambiguous product requirements into pragmatic technical solutions
• Write high-quality design documents and drive technical alignment
• Make informed tradeoffs between performance, reliability, and security

Deliver Secure, Production-Grade Systems:

• Design robust testing strategies for correctness and resilience
• Build scalable services capable of handling enterprise build workloads
• Maintain strong security standards without compromising system performance
• Contribute to sprint planning and technical roadmap discussions

Requirements

• 5+ years of backend or systems engineering experience
• Strong hands-on experience in Go, Python and NodeJS
• Experience working with CI/CD systems, build tools, or developer infrastructure
• Deep understanding of distributed systems and performance optimization
• Ability to operate independently in a new product environment
• Clear and concise technical communication skills

Nice to Have:

• Experience with software supply chain security
• Familiarity with hermetic builds and reproducibility principles
• Experience with containerization, sandboxing, or isolation mechanisms

Why This Role Matters:

• Software supply chain security is becoming a critical concern for enterprises. BuildGuard aims to bring visibility, control, and performance together in a way that does not slow down developers.
• You will play a central role in defining how this product is built, how it scales, and how it delivers real value to engineering teams worldwide.
