Senior Build Engineer – Bazel & Build Platform Engineering

We are looking for a  Senior Build Engineer.  This is a hands‑on platform engineering role at a major OEM, owning the core Bazel‑based build infrastructure that underpins software development across developer workstations, large‑scale CI systems, and deeply embedded automotive ECUs.
Engagement details:

Location:

Turin, Italy
Working model:
Hybrid

Start date:

ASAP

Employment type:

Full-time, Contract or Freelance
Responsibilities:
Design, implement, and maintain Bazel rules, tool chains, platforms, and configuration models for large, multi‑language and multi‑architecture systems
Establish hermetic and reproducible builds across Windows, Linux, and embedded targets
Develop variant‑aware build models that scale across ECUs and product configurations without exponential complexity
Model and normalize compiler tool chains under Bazel, including GCC, Clang, and embedded tool chains such as Tasking, Greenhills, High Tec, and QNX
Integrate remote caching and remote execution as core platform capabilities to support scale and predictable performance
Expose build inputs, variants, quality data, and artifacts as declarative data through Bazel targets and outputs to enable downstream automation
Embed quality and compliance as first‑class concerns: SBOM generation, licensing, standards adherence, testing, and traceability
Drive consistency through shared conventions and inner‑source practices across teams, and support large‑scale migrations

Qualifications:

Several years of hands‑on Bazel experience, including Starlark and cross‑compilation
Strong C/C++ foundation, plus Python, Go, or Rust for build‑related tooling and automation
Experience designing reproducible build systems on Windows and Linux
Familiarity with platform- and variant‑aware builds at scale
A systems and platform mindset, improving foundations rather than applying local fixes
Ability to collaborate effectively with developers, CI/CD engineers, and platform teams
Fluent English
