About the role
Depot is the fastest place to build software. Our platform integrates with services and tools like GitHub Actions, Docker, Bazel, Gradle, Turborepo, and more to make builds exponentially faster, saving our customers collective decades of build time every month.
To support our rapidly growing customer base, we are looking for our first Enterprise Support Engineer, based within a few hours of GMT (UTC+0) to join our team.
About the job
- You will become a customer-facing subject-matter expert on CI/CD optimization, Docker, and build tools across a variety of languages and technologies
- You will advise customers on best practices and handle technical support requests
- You will identify product and resource gaps in customer contexts and work with the founders to prioritize and escalate them
- You will assist customers migrating from legacy build infrastructure to take full advantage of Depot’s platform
About you
- You are able to debug and troubleshoot issues, combining experience and intuition to find root causes for bugs and issues
- You are comfortable in front of customers, able to assist but also empower them to become successful on their own
- You are comfortable stepping outside your comfort zone. We assist customers with their GitHub Actions workflows, give recommendations for Dockerfile optimizations, debug performance regressions, and generally see a wide range of build and CI configurations
- You can operate independently, but know when to flag for help
- You know how to work under pressure in times of urgency. Blocked build pipelines can mean not deploying critical fixes to production, not hitting deadlines, etc, so we and our customers take issues seriously
- You are a skilled communicator who can explain, articulate, and present things clearly & concisely in both asynchronous and synchronous settings
What you will need
- DevOps consulting or similar customer-facing technical experience
- Working knowledge of CI/CD platforms, e.g. GitHub Actions
- Working knowledge of Docker, Dockerfiles, and container build optimizations
- Working knowledge of major cloud platforms, Kubernetes, or other services that DevOps engineers are likely to interface with
- Strong ability to communicate directly with customers, via email, Slack, or on a video call
What would be helpful
- Experience with GitHub Actions optimization
- Experience with BuildKit and/or advanced Dockerfile features (buildx, multi-stage builds)
- API integration experience, to help our customers integrate our programmatic build API into their platforms
- Previous consulting experience in DevOps, CI migration, or containerization
About Depot
Depot is a build acceleration and developer productivity platform that saves companies like PostHog, Wistia, Semgrep, and Secoda thousands of hours in build time every week.
We are developers. We started Depot because we were frustrated with the constant pain of slow build performance. We were fed up waiting for builds and annoyed by the lack of tooling and providers that actually made builds performant. So, we went and built the solution we had always wanted.
Slow builds are the dam standing in the way between mediocrity and innovation. They’re wasteful, expensive, and a drain on developer happiness & productivity. They slow down innovation.
Taking a 40-minute build down to a minute, changes everything. We help folks save literal years in build time every single week.
And we’re just getting started. For us, it’s all about iteration speed and keeping developers in their flow state. Our mission is to be relentless in accelerating software development.
