[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer, Query @CircleCI

Role Description

At CircleCI, our guiding principles aren't posters on a wall. We learn fast: we run experiments, accept failure, and scale what works. We think like the customer: every decision connects back to the developer sitting in front of a failing build at 2 am. We own the outcome: not just our slice of it, but the whole thing. If that's how you already work, you'll fit here.

The Query team owns the system that makes data access possible. We pull product data out of transactional services and store it in datastores built for historical and analytical workloads. Our goal is to make storing data "fire and forget" for every other team, and querying it fast and dependable at a scale that keeps growing.

What You'll Do

• Build AI-natively.
• Shape how we store data at scale.
• Build the pipelines that move our data.
• Serve data to the product and to customers.
• Set technical direction.
• Champion observability.
• Keep things moving.

Qualifications

• AI-native engineering practices.
• Hands-on data experience.
• Backend depth in Go.
• Distributed systems judgment.
• Technical leadership.
• A track record of shipping.

Requirements

• 5+ years building and operating production backend systems.
• Experience with ClickHouse or another columnar database is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with React and TypeScript is a plus.

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on location.
• Reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities.
