Brigit is looking for a Software Engineer - Platform to help us build internal tools and systems that enable developers to move quickly, confidently, and autonomously. This role is part of the Developer Experience (DevX) team and sits at the intersection of infrastructure, tooling, and developer workflows. You’ll work on a mix of internal platforms that span build and deploy tooling, CI/CD pipelines, local development environments, and systems that empower product engineers to run experiments and ship code to production faster.

This is a generalist platform engineering role, best suited for someone who enjoys solving developer-facing problems across the stack. While your work will lean into infrastructure and internal tooling, you’ll collaborate closely with backend and frontend engineers and should be comfortable writing software beyond infra boundaries.

What You Will Be Doing

Enhancing our CI/CD pipelines to improve reliability, performance, and transparency across backend and frontend systems
Maintaining and evolving our local development cluster tooling, which allows engineers to spin up full-scale environments in the cloud using snapshots of our microservices
Building and maintaining internal developer tools and libraries, including systems that support experimentation, GraphQL schema workflows, and frontend testing and deployment
Improving monitoring, alerting, and observability standards, including actionable alert definitions, clear ownership paths, and high-quality runbooks
Working to apply security best practices across developer tooling and platforms, especially in authentication/authorization and identity and access management
Partnering with engineers across teams to streamline release processes, optimize build times, and reduce flaky tests
Writing documentation, championing best practices, and helping others navigate and adopt platform tools and services

What You Have

Proven experience as a software engineer with a strong foundation in infrastructure, internal tooling, or platform engineering
Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes and Docker
Familiarity with CI/CD systems like CircleCI, GitHub Actions, or similar
Experience deploying and operating services in cloud environments; GCP experience is a plus
Proficiency in at least one backend programming language (e.g. Java) and comfort working across the stack when needed
A track record of improving developer workflows through automation, tooling, or process improvements
Understanding of security best practices, particularly around authentication, authorization, and access controls
(Bonus) Exposure to some of the technologies we use, such as Postgres, Datadog, PagerDuty, or GraphQL

*This is a full-time role which will operate out of Brigit’s New York office, with the option to work remote 2-3x per week.

The anticipated annual base salary for this position is $135,000 - $180,000. This range does not include any other compensation components or other benefits for which an individual may be eligible.
