Buildkite’s vision is to unblock every developer on the planet. Our products are used by many of the best engineering teams across the globe, including Airbnb, Shopify, Slack and OpenAI.

We're in search of a Design Engineer who will design and code web-app experiences that are delightful, intuitive, easy-to-use and user-centric. Our view on design is, it’s both how it works and how it looks. We’re looking to work with an experienced human who can pick a problem, then solve it.

You’re excited and motivated by understanding user problems at a deep level. You’re data-informed, drawing out relevant insights to use in decision-making. You use empathy to provide solutions and move quickly with purpose.

We aren’t looking for a unicorn—we’re looking for a generalist. A good cultural add that can run UX discovery and workflow, create beautiful, holistic product design from UI to CLI and API, and has the capability to code if needed. Someone who’ll facilitate iterative workflows across our product team.

You’re able to share relevant history of effectively communicating both visually and verbally; working collaboratively in a cross-functional environment; navigating change through stages of fidelity; and evidence of iterative prototyping to build momentum with direction.

Your background doesn’t need to include DevTools, though that would be a bonus! We’d love to hear you demonstrate how in a previous role, you went from 0%→80% knowledge in a specialist domain.

Experience with DevTools would be great, but not a dealbreaker

Comfort working remotely. We are a remote-first company, so you will need to be comfortable in taking initiative when team members are offline, working collaboratively, owning project management tools and treating others with empathy and kindness

Buildkite's mission is to unblock every developer on the planet. Test Analytics helps to make test suites faster and more reliable, reducing friction in developers' day to day work and making their working lives happier and more productive.

We do this by identifying things like flaky and slow tests and showing trends over time of your suite, as well as providing the ability to deep dive into what happens when an individual test executes with tracing data for troubleshooting that test.
