About the Job
IMG.LY is looking for a highly motivated and experienced build engineer to join our development teams. As a build engineer in the engine team at IMG.LY, you will be responsible for improving and maintaining the build process of our products, as well as enhancing stability and efficiency of our CI/CD pipelines. You’ll provide supporting infrastructure and automation to support the development of our core product, the IMGLY Engine (UBQ). This includes helping with build issues and platform-specific integrations, as well as keeping an eye out for repetitive tasks and bottlenecks.
Your Role
- Develop, maintain and troubleshoot build processes around different software projects
- Ensure availability of delivery-ready builds and binaries for all platforms
- Create new CI/CD pipelines and enhance the stability and efficiency of existing ones
- Manage and maintain test environments
- In collaboration with your peers, develop and maintain automation to eliminate other repetitive and/or time intensive tasks surrounding the development process
- Create and maintain documentation of the build/release process
Your Profile
- Deep knowledge with building cross-platform C++ projects using CMake and Conan
- Experience working with GitHub Actions pipelines or alternatives (e.g. Circle CI, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
- Self-motivation with a strong work ethic
- Flexibility, ability to work collaboratively, excel as a team player
- Can work in a feedback environment and in a fast-paced, constantly iterating environment
- Ability to communicate effectively in English, both verbally and in writing
Your Team
We have multiple tech teams sized around 4-8 engineers each, led by one engineer manager. Altogether, we have about 30 engineers at IMG.LY. Our Team structure revolves around the different layers of our SDKs. The engine team is responsible for the core business logic written in C++. The platform teams (iOS, Android, Web, etc.) focus on platform-specific implementations, language bindings, and User Interfaces on top of the C++ Core. Our solutions team works with our technology to build showcases and work directly with our enterprise customers. Location-wise, all teammates are scattered all over Europe and work in a remote-first setting. Also, we have small offices in Bochum and Berlin where everyone can hang around. Every year we get the team together for a fantastic trip to hang out and get to know each other in person.
Your Stack
We are building SDKs for many platforms. Our business logic layer is implemented in C/C++ and shared between all our platforms. For each platform like Web, iOS, Android, and so forth, we widely use TypeScript and React, Swift and Swift-UI, Kotlin, and Jetpack Compose. Due to the nature of our product, we need to get our hands on almost every platform-specific language and UI system, for example, React-Native and Flutter.
Hiring Process
Please provide us with a CV and meaningful work examples. If possible, provide us with a short video or letter introducing yourself.
At first, we like to get to know you and want you to know us. For us, social, and cultural fit are as important as technical skill. Thus, we prefer to jump on a video call for 30 minutes.
The hiring process will include an assessment task that should take around 2-4 hours of your time and can be done asynchronously. The task will be a realistic example from our day-to-day work.
We will conclude the process with a meeting with your future colleagues where you present the assessment task, and we have a discussion about your findings.
