Description

At Trade Me, we're about connecting Kiwi to create the life they want.

  • You're seen as a champion of our values, living these daily.
  • You will be the custodian of tools our engineers use on the path-to-production, including automation suite, CI/CD pipelines, and environments.
  • You ensure that automation and self-service are the priority in designing the pipelines and tools to reduce the cognitive load on our engineers and minimise coupling between teams.
  • You will continuously optimise the CI/CD pipelines to reduce the cognitive load and feedback loop for our engineers.
  • You will own the CI/CD pipeline component of our Thinnest Viable Platform Microservices and Trade Me Common apps.

What you will bring to our team:

  • An experienced practitioner (10+ years) in engineering practices; with strong technical skills and a deep understanding of architecture and engineering practices.
  • People's leadership experience (3+ years) of small to medium technical teams (5-7 people).
