About the team

Internal platform team’s mission: Enable our engineering teams to move fast with confidence.

This role is for the internal platform team that manages a variety of foundational systems like the CI/CD pipeline, development environment, staging & production infrastructure, and monitoring and alerting systems. It is a high-leverage and high-visibility role which will have a direct impact on StreamYard's shipping velocity.

The team recently finished a project that enabled engineers to gather asynchronous feedback about changes without releasing into stage/production, this tool has had a strong positive effect on how engineers work. Engineering can now experiment a lot more quickly and the review cycle is a lot quicker.
