Our focus is on R&D, product innovation, and customer service, and to that focus, we bring total commitment and a keenly sharp competitive personality.
Energy feeds on energy. If you flourish in a fast paced, results-oriented environment, if you want to achieve individual success within a “team first” organization, and if you believe you can contribute and succeed in a demanding yet collegial atmosphere, then Lattice may well be just what you’re looking for.
Responsibilities & Skills
Key Responsibilities
- Lead, coach, and grow a team of build/DevOps engineers (and potentially team leads/managers), including performance management, mentoring, hiring, and succession planning.
- Establish team operating rhythms (OKRs, quarterly plans, capacity planning) and ensure delivery commitments across global time zones.
- Build a culture of operational excellence: clear ownership, strong documentation, continuous improvement, and continuous learning.
- Define and evolve enterprise-grade CI/CD standards: pipeline-as-code, reusable libraries, secure credential handling, and consistent quality gates.
- Own Jenkins platform strategy: scalability, availability, plugin governance, upgrade cadence, job templating, and platform support
- Drive CMake adoption and build modernization initiatives for large codebases, including dependency management, cross-platform builds (Linux/Windows), caching, incremental builds, and parallelization.
- Establish build performance benchmarks and lead efforts to reduce build times, improve determinism, and minimize environment drift.
- Own and improve Perforce-based workflows
- Identify high-impact opportunities to automate repetitive engineering tasks (build triggers, environment provisioning, reporting, notifications, and self-service tooling).
- Drive adoption of scripting and automation best practices (Python/Bash/Groovy/PowerShell) and ensure maintainable, well-tested automation code.
- Improve developer experience: fast local builds, consistent dev environments, clear docs, and responsive support.
- Implement monitoring/observability and SLOs for CI/CD systems; lead incident response and root-cause analysis for pipeline/platform outages
- Collaborate effectively with multiple engineering orgs and business units to align priorities, manage dependencies, and deliver shared platform outcomes.
- Coordinate with remote/global teams through clear written communication, shared plans, and time-zone friendly execution.
- Communicate status, tradeoffs, and decisions to senior stakeholders with data-driven clarity.
Required Qualifications
- 15+ years of experience in software engineering, build/release engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, or related domains.
- 5+ years of direct people management experience (hiring, coaching, performance management).
- Deep expertise in CI/CD systems (especially Jenkins) including pipeline design, shared libraries, and platform operations.
- Strong build systems background, including CMake (preferred), Make/Ninja/MSBuild, dependency management, and build optimization.
- Hands-on experience with Perforce (Helix Core) administration or advanced usage (streams/branching, permissions, integrations, governance).
- Proficiency in automation/scripting (Python, Bash, Groovy and/or PowerShell) and disciplined software engineering practices.
- Strong Linux fundamentals; experience supporting cross-platform builds (Linux + Windows).
- Demonstrated ability to lead large, cross-team initiatives (platform migrations, standardization, modernization efforts).
