Software Engineer - Build Systems, Compilers and Languages

Overview

Remote - US. Eng Flow helps developers save time by accelerating software builds and tests. Our cloud-based, distributed service optimizes developer workflows through remote execution and caching, improving efficiency, productivity, and product quality. Eng Flow speeds up builds by a factor of 10 or more and provides an observability platform for optimization. Founded by key contributors to Bazel, we build tools that empower engineering teams—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—to enhance developer velocity and build performance.

You’ll work as a Software Engineer with a focus on build systems, compilers, and languages
, contributing to core open-source projects like Bazel
, gRPC
, Goma
, Soong
, and CMake
, and tackling real-time performance and scalability challenges on the Eng Flow platform. You’ll have the opportunity to develop core features of our platform that power builds for companies such as Brave Software
, Blue River Technology
, and Snap
.
