Senior Software Engineer – CI Infrastructure & Platform

Description

About DriveNets

DriveNets is leading the next generation of networks with a cloud-native networking solution built to solve the data explosion challenge. Our technology enables service providers to build scalable, high-performance networks using merchant silicon and commodity hardware — reshaping the economics of networking and powering some of the world’s most demanding infrastructures.

About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our CI Infrastructure team within the Platform Engineering organization.

The team designs, builds, and operates the internal engineering platform that powers DriveNets’ build, test, and security validation workflows. This includes large-scale orchestration of complex test environments, hybrid cloud/on-prem execution infrastructure, DevSecOps integrations (SCA, SAST, policy enforcement), and advanced optimization mechanisms.

Our mission is to provide a scalable, reliable, and intelligent CI platform that enables hundreds of engineers to build and validate a complex distributed networking product efficiently and safely.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on scalability, observability, reliability, and intelligent automation, with direct impact on engineering velocity and release confidence.

Requirements

What You’ll Do

• Design and evolve scalable CI infrastructure for build and large-scale test execution
• Develop automation and orchestration systems across hybrid environments (AWS and on-prem)
• Integrate and optimize security validation flows (SCA, SAST, quality gates) within CI
• Improve reliability, performance, and observability across high-volume CI workloads
• Develop AI-assisted tooling and agents to optimize test selection, failure analysis, and resource utilization
• Analyze CI data to identify bottlenecks, flakiness patterns, and optimization opportunities
• Collaborate with R&D, Automation, and Security teams to continuously improve CI architecture and best practices
• Take ownership of critical platform components used daily by large engineering teams
  
  

• B.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of hands-on software engineering or infrastructure development experience
• Strong programming skills in Python (or similar high-level language)
• Experience designing and building scalable systems or automation frameworks
• Solid understanding of Linux, containers (Docker), and Git-based workflows
• Experience working in cloud and hybrid infrastructure environments
• Strong system-level thinking and troubleshooting skills
• Ability to take ownership and drive solutions end-to-end
  
  

• Experience with CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar)
• Background in large-scale test infrastructure or build systems
• Experience integrating security tools (SCA, SAST, SBOM, vulnerability management)
• Experience building AI-assisted developer productivity tools
• Familiarity with observability stacks (metrics, logs, tracing)
• Experience improving reliability and performance of large engineering platforms
  
  

• Strong ownership mindset and sound engineering judgment
• Passion for building scalable, reliable infrastructure
• Data-driven approach to optimization and continuous improvement
• Excellent communication and cross-team collaboration skills
• Comfortable operating in complex, distributed environments
