Alignment, collaboration, and empathy are the cornerstones of our success.  This position is 100% remote, with the understanding that occasional in-person attendance may be required for trainings, meetings, and team gatherings, as determined by your manager. As a Technical Lead for our Developer Experience (DevEx) and Cloud Infrastructure teams, you will improve engineering productivity, quality, delivery safety, and production reliability across Traackr.    On the developer experience side, you will identify where the development lifecycle is slow, confusing, or tedious, make targeted improvements, and measure how successful those changes are. On the cloud infrastructure side, you’ll keep our infrastructure secure, reliable, observable, and scalable.   Core work spans internal services and CLI tools, CI/CD and release engineering, standardized developer environments and tooling, AI-enabled automation, cloud infrastructure management, and production reliability. Our customers are Traackr engineers across the organization; success is measured by adoption, reduced friction, safer and faster delivery, and high service availability. You'll work closely with product, leadership, and other non-technical stakeholders. You should be able to explain technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly, and communicate effectively in written and spoken English.   This position is 100% remote. Collaboration hours align primarily with the Eastern Time Zone and may require occasional in-person attendance for training, meetings, or team gatherings.   Responsibilities • Tech lead two teams (DevEx and Cloud Infrastructure) totaling 6–8 engineers: set technical direction, review key designs/changes, and raise engineering standards across both domains. • Own the delivery toolchain end-to-end (Git, CI, deployments/releases): reduce flakiness, improve build/test times, make releases repeatable with clear rollback, and drive adoption of org-wide standards through tooling, docs, and supported migrations. • Own the reliability and scalability of Traackr's cloud infrastructure: keep production well-architected, cost-efficient, and resilient. Lead incident response and blameless postmortems; drive preventive improvements. • Improve the software development lifecycle (setup → build/test → PR → deploy → observe) and standardize environments so teams spend less time on tooling and more time shipping. • Identify high-value opportunities to integrate AI into developer workflows — e.g. code review, onboarding, or internal search — with sensible defaults around security and data handling. • Mentor engineers and raise the bar through documentation, pairing, and lightweight coaching. Qualifications • 7+ years of software engineering experience, with significant focus on three or more of: DevEx, CI/CD, release engineering (preferred), platform automation, developer tooling, or cloud infrastructure (preferred). • Proficiency with Go or a comparable backend language; experience building internal services, CLI tools, and REST APIs. • Hands-on experience with CI platforms (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions), Git platforms (e.g., GitHub, Bitbucket), and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Helm). • Strong experience with Kubernetes-based deployments (EKS preferred), cluster management, and deployment safety mechanisms. • Track record improving pipeline and workflow performance — build/test time, caching, flake reduction — with observability to back it up (SLOs/SLIs, Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, or similar). • Experience scoping cross-functional work and running org-wide rollouts, migrations, and deprecations. Nice To Have • Progressive delivery patterns (blue/green, canary). • Networking fundamentals relevant to app delivery and production reliability (traffic routing, reverse proxies, ingress, load balancing, DNS). • Experience with AWS cost optimization strategies. • Familiarity with security best practices for AWS environments (secrets management, network segmentation). How we use AI We use GenAI to accelerate development while maintaining a high code quality standard. For any product behavior driven by data or AI—prompts, models, scoring/ranking, heuristics—we rely on disciplined evaluation (metrics, regression suites, and monitoring) to ensure changes are reliable and measurable Benefits • Competitive Salary • Remote Work Options with Hybrid Flexibility and Home Office Set-Up Stipend • Coworking Office Subscription for Collaborative Spaces • Health, Dental, and Life Insurance Coverage* • Open Vacation Policy and Flexible Holiday Schedule to Suit Your Needs • Paid Parental Leave to Support Quality Time with Your Loved Ones • Career Development, including Internal and External Training Opportunities Traackr employs individuals in multiple US states and countries.
