Sr. Software Engineer – CloudBees.com

Location: Remote

We’re powering the continuous economy by building the world’s first end to end system for automated software delivery.

CloudBees is a globally distributed company with over 400 employees in over 15 countries working together to invent a new category of software – one that automates the delivery of software. As every company in the world is becoming a software company, and as software delivery practices evolve from slow, infrequent releases toward continuous delivery supported by CI/CD, DevOps practices and the cloud, this new software category will become the most mission critical new business system in the modern enterprise. As today’s clear leader in CI/CD, CloudBees is uniquely positioned to define and lead this new category and is expanding its product and engineering organization in order to do so.

CloudBees was founded in 2010 by FOSS veterans from JBoss and RedHat and became the home of Enterprise Jenkins when they joined forces with Kohsuke Kawaguchi, CloudBees’ CTO today and the inventor of Jenkins. Jenkins is the world’s most widely deployed, flexible and capable CI/CD software platform, with 1,700,000 known installations and a vibrant developer ecosystem of over 1,400 plugins.

Since its founding CloudBees has grown to serve over 500 customers of its Jenkins-based enterprise-grade CI/CD software solutions. It has recently acquired a leading vendor of CI/CD-as-a-service, Codeship, to broaden the options it provides to the market. CloudBees is now rapidly expanding this offering to include innovative new capabilities for software delivery governance, visibility and insights, while also quickly evolving its architecture to take advantage of the latest cloud delivery technologies and practices. These new capabilities are being integrated into a new end-to-end system, The CloudBees Suite.

The CloudBees product and engineering organization includes some of the world’s most respected contributors to the tools, languages and practices behind modern software development. Because CloudBees is a fully distributed company, it’s also been able to draw on a global talent pool and maintain a very high bar for intellect, technical skills and work culture. Nearly every Bee has chosen to work at CloudBees because of a personal conviction of the transformative power of continuous delivery practices in every function in software development, and every Bee has been actively chosen for being amongst the best at what they do in the world. This leads to a sense of shared mission and mutual respect that makes CloudBees a truly special place to work.
