О компании и продукте

• The Developer Experience team at Instacart is the force multiplier for our 1000+ engineers. We define and build the platforms, tools, and practices that enable Instacart engineers to ship high-quality software faster — from AI-powered code review to build infrastructure, developer onboarding, and local development environments. Our success is measured in developer velocity: how quickly an engineer can take an idea from concept to production.
• As a Staff Software Engineer on Developer Experience, you will lead two of the pillars that Instacart engineering is built on: Bazel (our build system) and Go (one of our core backend languages). You will own the technical direction for how thousands of daily builds run and how our Go services are structured, from remote build execution and caching to the frameworks, libraries, and patterns Go engineers use every day. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You'll write code, set architectural direction, and partner across the org to move engineering-wide metrics on build performance, CI reliability, and developer velocity.
• Lead the technical direction for Instacart's Bazel build system, including remote caching, remote build execution (RBE), build performance, and the developer-facing ergonomics of the build.
• Lead the technical direction for our Go platform, frameworks, standard libraries, service scaffolding, and patterns that Go engineers across Instacart depend on.
