Senior Software Engineer, Developer Experience

The Voleon Group is a technology company applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to real-world problems in finance. The Senior Software Engineer, Developer Experience will design and evolve the development platform, including build systems, CI/CD pipelines, test infrastructure, and deployment automation, while improving developer productivity, reliability, and engineering workflows across the company.

Responsibilities:

• Design and improve the build → test → deploy pipeline so it is fast, reliable, and automated by default
• Evolve build-system tooling (e.g., Bazel rules and macros) to meet growing engineering needs
• Reduce build, test, and deployment latency and drive down slow and flaky tests
• Build and standardize automated deployment pipelines across environments
• Lead company-wide modernization — language, framework, and dependency upgrades, and retirement of end-of-life systems
• Provide visibility into dependency age and technical risk across the codebase
• Expand support for AI-assisted development workflows and integrate them into standard tooling
• Lead complex projects from start to finish — gathering requirements, translating them into a rational software design, reasoning about supporting or dependent technologies, and communicating effectively with collaborators
• Provide technical guidance to engineering and research staff
• Mentor and grow individual contributors to continuously up-level the team

Requirements:

• • Computer Science / Engineering degree, or equivalent experience
• • 5+ years of software engineering experience
• • Proven track record of software design and implementation with focus on correctness, robustness, efficiency, and scale
• • Expertise in a modern programming language, such as Python, Go, Java or C++
• • Hands-on experience developing in a Linux/UNIX environment
• • Design and implementation of scalable services, tooling, and APIs used by other engineers
• • Experience with build systems and/or monorepos (e.g., Bazel, Buck, or similar)
• • Experience with CI/CD systems, test infrastructure, and deployment automation
• • Familiarity with containerization and deployment technologies (e.g., Docker)
• • Work with large codebases and experience building modular, extensible, and maintainable software
• • Strong communication skills and a proven ability to explain complex ideas with clarity and simplicity
• • Experience improving developer productivity at scale
• • Dependency management and large-scale modernization / upgrade efforts
• • Integrating AI-assisted development tooling into engineering workflows
