Senior Software Engineer, Engineering Operations

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential enterprise software organization currently undergoing an AI-first transformation. Our client is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join their Engineering Operations Team—a high-impact platform team responsible for fostering engineering excellence across the organization. In this role, you will create, implement, and maintain scalable core processes that enhance development efficiency, reliability, and quality across multiple codebases and engineering-wide organizational processes.

This is a fully remote position where you will work closely with infrastructure and core software engineering teams to ensure smooth workflows, robust dependency management, and continuous improvement of CI processes in an AI-first development environment.

Responsibilities

• Lead the shift toward an automated engineering lifecycle by implementing and orchestrating unified processes across repositories, including AI-assisted release management, autonomous dependency updates, and proactive CVE remediation
• Continuously optimize CI/release health and development velocity using a metric-driven approach to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in AI-first workflows
• Collaborate with key stakeholders to implement CI strategy and engineering best practices, creating positive impact within the engineering organization
• Identify friction points in engineering workflows and evolve them into automated, self-sustaining systems that can handle increased volume of an AI-augmented workforce
• Partner effectively with software engineers, engineering leaders, and cross-team stakeholders to deliver process improvements
