Full Job Posting

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead a small team of strong engineers while staying hands-on: set direction, clear obstacles, and help the team's experts do their best work.
  • Own the developer loop end to end: build graph, remote caching and execution, test policy, and pipeline speed and cost.
  • Consolidate CTC's codebases on Bazel in a monorepo model, replacing fragmented, per-repo build and CI setups.
  • Do all of this while live trading systems ship every day, without breaking a release pipeline.
  • WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
  • You've led build or CI work for an engineering org of 100+ people, and you're still credible in the details.
  • You're fluent in C++, Java and Python builds, and deep in Bazel or a similar system (Buck2, Pants) at scale: C++ toolchains, remote execution, cache behavior, and flaky-test policy.
  • You've consolidated codebases into a monorepo, ideally including migrating a large Java/Gradle or C++ (CMake/Conan) codebase to Bazel.
  • You measure what you build, and can cite before-and-after numbers for platform work you've led.
  • You treat developers as customers. Your migrations get adopted because you make it easy to move off the old system, not because you mandate them.
  • Nice to have: experience in uptime-critical or latency-sensitive domains.
