We prioritize the health and wellbeing of our employees through our comprehensive benefit package, including generous paid time off to rest and recharge, holistic mental health support, and benefits covering employees up to 100%.AI agents don't just run pipelines. We're building them.We think like the customer: every decision connects back to the developer sitting in front of a failing build at 2 am. The On-Prem team ships CircleCI Server, our self-hosted CI/CD platform for customers who need to run everything inside their own infrastructure: regulated industries, air-gapped environments, and teams with strict data residency and compliance requirements. Our mission is to deliver an on-premises CircleCI that is secure, highly available, and easy to install, upgrade, and support.Our team serves two kinds of customers: the organizations that run Server, and the CircleCI engineering teams whose services ship inside it. As a Staff Engineer here, you'll care as much about the internal release experience as about making Server reliable and easy to operate for external customers.Build AI-natively. AI is how we work. It's not a productivity layer on top of engineering, but the default starting point for how we approach and solve problems.Make shipping into Server easy for every team. Own the platform strategy, setting the technical direction for the tooling, test infrastructure, and release automation that CircleCI teams use to develop and maintain their services inside Server.Give customers confidence installing, upgrading, and running CircleCI Server. Customers run Server in environments you'll never see. Own Server's foundation. You'll be responsible for everything from the Kubernetes infrastructure Server deploys into, to the tooling internal teams and customers depend on. Standardize Server's observability on OpenTelemetry so it works with whatever platform each customer already runs. Build diagnostics that help operators, and the engineers supporting them, find the problem quickly. Partner with Support, Customer Engineering, and customers to find recurring issues and fix them at the source.Partner directly with Product and Engineering Management to translate business goals into technical strategy. You default to building tools, frameworks,



and systems that make other engineers more productive rather than solving each problem one-off. AI-native engineering practices. You use AI tools daily and can speak to what you've built, where they changed your approach, and where they fall short.You know where the sharp edges are, especially in customer-operated environments (air-gapped, restricted network, unfamiliar cluster shapes).Strong backend and systems foundation. 8+ years building production backend and infrastructure systems, with a history of taking accountability for outcomes. Strong in Go, with real experience in API design, data modelling, distributed systems, and operational tooling.Technical leadership. You mentor engineers, give direct feedback on technical direction, and raise the quality bar across teams through how you engage in reviews and design discussions, not just what you ship.Experience with on-premises or self-hosted software. You've shipped software that runs in someone else's workplace (enterprise on-prem, self-hosted SaaS, or a distributed system installed by customers), and you understand how that constraint shapes your design choices, release process, and support model.You're energized by the challenge of building software that has to work in environments you can't see or control. You want to take a product customers depend on and make it dramatically easier to build, ship, and run, both for them and for the teams whose services live inside it. 195,000 — $265,000 CADThese metro areas may change periodically.$We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.

The tool generates a fit score and summary to help recruiters organize and prioritize applications.With advance notice, an AI note-taking tool may join interviews to record, transcribe, and summarize the conversation. You will be told before each interview, and you may opt out at any stage by letting your recruiter know. Outreach: AI may help draft candidate outreach and scheduling messages, which our team reviews before sending.AI does not make hiring decisions at CircleCI. No candidate is rejected based solely on an AI score. We have tools and processes in place to test for bias and to review how these tools perform, and we adjust our approach as AI technology and the laws that govern it change.You can ask for human-only review of your application, opt out of AI interview note-taking, request an accommodation, or ask questions about how we use AI. For how we handle your data, including retention, see our Privacy Policy. #
