Canada Remote Mechanical Orchard Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year
At Mechanical Orchard, we specialize in safely rewriting the most critical and complex business applications—the software that runs the world as we know it today—so they're ready to adapt quickly and easily to market challenges and opportunities. Our approach emerged from observing the decades-long failure patterns in modernization efforts and is designed to eliminate the risks and disruptions that characterize most projects. Our Generative AI platform, Imogen, harnesses this method using advanced data engineering, compiler and LLM based techniques to create something unique in the industry.
Our background in software development and the impact on the industry is well known: we've literally helped write the book on XP and other impactful Agile practices. We're applying the same thoughtfulness and rigor in applying AI pragmatically where it helps. We believe in the durable principles behind Agile, and embrace the power of cross-functional teams, collective ownership, test driven development, short feedback loops, and continuous improvement.
We're bringing joy to beleaguered IT teams everywhere. Together, we're seeing how applying craft, expertise, and technologies we're building can fundamentally transform the way companies operate, innovate, and win. Our values are: Do the right thing. Do what works. Be kind. As an Infrastructure Software Engineer at Mechanical Orchard, you will be expected to:
  • Work as part of small, cross functional XP team building infrastructure as code for our product teams to build and release Imogen, our Generative AI platform
  • Pair program with other engineers and collaborate closely with other roles such as  product managers and designers
  • Work with client infrastructure, security, and network teams to deploy Imogen to their cloud infrastructure
  • Lead and collaborate on technical discovery efforts for existing customer systems cloud infrastructure and adapt Imogen to their public cloud estate
  • Apply and evolve XP engineering practices such as pair programming, test-driven development, refactoring, continuous integration and continuous delivery
  • Adapt XP practices for working with AI—whether co-writing code, managing agents and their context, or knowing when to push back and trust your own instincts
  • Operate and support production applications as a team in the context of the agile DevSecOps model
  • Help onboard client developers and/or new Mechanical Orchard team members with practices and techniques
  • Continuously learn about relevant emerging technologies or practices and foster the growth of the organization through mentorship, tech talks, and other means
  • Participate in a "follow the sun" on-call rotation for incident response and management of cloud infrastructure.
  • Basic Qualifications
  • As the ideal candidate, you have experience as a software engineer in a professional, team based environment, with exposure or demonstrated passion for XP practices such as pair programming and test driven development
  • Hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Software/Computer Engineering, or a related field or possess equivalent foundational experience such as completion of a coding bootcamp or similar technical training
  • Strategic thinking, technical skills, attention to detail
  • Ability to learn new software and technologies quickly
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills as well as empathy are essential for working closely with the development team, customers, and others at Mechanical Orchard.
  • Comfortable with pair programming, Mechanical Orchard's default mode of working together
  • Experience or demonstrated passion for cloud infrastructure and related tooling
  • Preferred Qualifications
  • You are comfortable building and deploying to cloud infrastructure, and have experience in at least one infrastructure as code tool and public cloud provider.
  • Experience developing a platform as a service product
  • Experience with some of the following technologies:
  • Infrastructure as code automation tooling like Terraform
  • Deploying and operating applications on Kubernetes with Helm
