Powering CI/CD at massive scale.

How do you ship world-class software thousands of times a week without slowing innovation? At Coveo, our continuous integration and deployment platform is a core product in itself, enabling R&D teams to deliver reliably, securely, and at scale.

You’ll join the team responsible for designing and evolving the backend systems behind our CI/CD platform, operating across thousands of deployments, nearly 2,000 packages, and more than 10 Amazon Web Services regions. If cloud scale, automation, and platform reliability excite you, you’re in the right place.

As one of our backend developers, you will:

  • Design, build, and operate backend services that power Coveo’s continuous integration and deployment platform.
  • Develop application programming interfaces and services used by internal tooling to orchestrate builds, tests, releases, and deployments.
  • Own backend components running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and Kubernetes via Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, ensuring scalability, resiliency, and performance.
  • Automate infrastructure and deployment workflows using Infrastructure-as-Code principles.
  • Improve deployment safety, observability, and rollback strategies across multiple Amazon Web Services regions.
  • Document system architectures and actively collaborate with R&D teams to evolve CI/CD best practices.

Here is what will qualify you for the role:

  • You’re a polyglot backend developer who enjoys working across multiple programming languages and switching contexts as part of daily work.
  • You have hands-on experience with Python, Go, and shell scripting, or are eager to deepen your expertise in these languages.
  • You’re genuinely interested in both backend application development and Infrastructure-as-Code, and understand how the two come together in modern platforms.
  • You have solid, practical experience with Amazon Web Services and its core services such as Simple Storage Service (S3) and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
  • You understand continuous integration and deployment principles and have experience building, operating, or evolving pipelines using GitHub Actions.

What will make you stand out:

  • Experience automating infrastructure and environments using Terraform.
  • Strong collaboration skills and a desire to build tools that make other developers more productive.
  • Great ability to explain the reasoning behind their coding choices.
  • A person that will truly care about the challenges tackled, and do the extra steps to achieve a great result.

Do you think you can bring this role to life? Or add your own color?
You don’t need to check every single box; passion goes a long way and we appreciate that skillsets are transferable.
