Backend Engineer – Aspect Build

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to design and implement the scalable services and APIs that power Aspect Build’s platform and integrations. You’ll work on systems that enable remote build execution, distributed caching, and multi-language developer workflows—core components that make modern build automation possible.

This role is ideal for engineers who are passionate about backend systems, developer tooling, and improving the software supply chain from the ground up.

• Design, build, and maintain backend services for Aspect Build’s commercial platform and open-source components.
  
• Develop APIs and integrations that connect Bazel and related build tools with CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments, and developer systems.
  
• Implement high-performance data processing and caching systems to support remote and parallelized builds.
  
• Collaborate closely with product managers, frontend engineers, and customer-facing teams to deliver reliable, developer-friendly solutions.
  
• Contribute to the design and evolution of Aspect’s distributed architecture and service orchestration.
  
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, with a focus on performance and scalability.
  
• Participate in on-call rotation for production reliability and incident response.
  
• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and community contributions in the Bazel ecosystem.

Required:

• 4+ years of backend engineering experience in production environments.
  
• Strong programming skills in Rust, Go or TypeScript (Rust and Golang preferred).
  
• Understanding of distributed systems design, including APIs, concurrency, and cloud infrastructure.
• Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform and Helm charts)
  
• Experience building and operating cloud services (AWS, GCP, or similar).
  
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, developer platforms, or build systems.
  
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills—comfortable working in a remote, cross-functional team.
  

Preferred:

• Experience with Bazel, Remote Execution API (REAPI), or related build tools (e.g., Pants, Buck).
  
• Knowledge of containerized and orchestrated systems (Docker, Kubernetes).
  
• Background in developer productivity, software supply chain, or build/release automation.
  
• Contributions to open-source developer tooling or infrastructure projects.

• Join the team behind some of the most innovative work in modern build systems and developer infrastructure.
  
• Collaborate with engineers and open-source contributors shaping how the world’s largest software companies build at scale.
  
• Remote-first culture built around autonomy, technical excellence, and impact.
• Competitive compensation, equity participation, and strong benefits.
