Platform Engineer – CI/CD Infrastructure

We are hiring Senior Platform Engineers to strengthen and scale eBay’s CI/CD infrastructure, including Jenkins, Tekton, plugin ecosystems, telemetry, monitoring, dashboards, and underlying storage systems across development and production environments.

This role will establish strong regional engineering ownership, improve reliability, and drive modernization across our CI/CD, compute, and storage infrastructure.

You will design, build, and operate resilient CI/CD systems and distributed services that power thousands of pipelines daily.

What You’ll Do

Build, operate, and scale CI/CD infrastructure (Jenkins, Tekton)

Design and manage plugin infrastructure and lifecycle processes

Develop microservices (Java / Spring Boot) for CI/CD orchestration and platform capabilities

Architect and enhance distributed systems to improve pipeline scalability and reliability

Design and manage file systems and storage infrastructure supporting build artifacts, caching, logs, and pipeline data

Implement telemetry, monitoring, and observability across CI/CD and storage systems

Build dashboards and operational insights for pipeline health and performance

Improve pipeline efficiency and reduce systemic failure rates

Drive automation, modernization, and standardization across environments

Collaborate with global teams to ensure high availability and operational excellence

What You’ll Bring

Overall 5+ years of industry experience in Java backend tech stack.

Strong experience operating Jenkins at scale (masters, agents, plugins, upgrades, performance tuning)

Hands-on experience with Tekton or cloud-native pipeline orchestration

Proven experience developing microservices using Java / Spring Boot

Strong background in distributed systems design and distributed computing

Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure

Solid understanding of file systems, storage architectures, artifact storage, and performance optimization

Strong automation and scripting skills (Python preferred)

Experience building telemetry, monitoring, and observability systems

Strong debugging, performance tuning, and reliability engineering skills

High ownership mindset with the ability to operate critical production systems

Role Clarification

This is a hands-on, coding-focused Platform Engineering role centered on designing, building, and operating CI/CD, distributed systems, and storage infrastructure at scale.

It is not a DevOps-only, support-only, or operations-only role. Engineers on this team own systems end-to-end — architecture, development, automation, and reliability.
