Who we are:
Glydways is reimagining what public transit can be. We believe that mobility is the gateway to opportunity—connecting people to housing, education, employment, commerce, and care. By making transportation more accessible, affordable, and sustainable, we empower communities to thrive and unlock economic and social prosperity.
Our mission is to revolutionize transit with a solution that delivers high capacity, exceptional user experiences, unmatched affordability, and minimal environmental impact.
The Glydways system is a groundbreaking network of carbon-neutral, interconnected transit pathways powered by standardized autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. Operating 24/7 with on-demand access, it offers personalized and efficient mobility—without the burden of heavy upfront infrastructure costs or ongoing taxpayer subsidies.
With Glydways, we’re building more than a transportation system; we’re creating a future where everyone, everywhere, has the freedom to move.

The Developer Platform team as a part of Software Foundations and Architecture is responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure that enables all developers to track, build, deploy and operate our software. From the build system everyone uses, to the tools used to submit and deploy changes, to the cloud infrastructure they use to operate it - we support the entire development experience. The Developer Platform team forges the tools that empower the entire software engineering organization while working with engineers from almost every team.
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Act as the primary Product Owner for the Continuous Integration (CI) system, managing how it centrally runs builds and tests by seamlessly hooking into source control, the build system, and integrating tightly with Buildkite and GitHub
- Design and implement short and long term scalable integrations that connect Bazel with the CI/CD pipelines to automate workflows, integrate with AI/LLM/Agent tools, trigger specific jobs, manage build artifacts, and ensure proper handoffs
- Build, scale, and manage the CI AWS infrastructure, overseeing capacity planning and actively working to optimize performance by reducing job execution times
- Develop comprehensive observability (including logs, metrics, traces, and alerts) into the CI infrastructure to accurately track system efficiency, identify errors, and focus reliability efforts.
- Maintain the CI system as a reliable, high-performing platform, providing day-to-day on-call support, incident management, and troubleshooting for the wider software engineering organization.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD best practices and principles. Direct experience with Buildkite is a plus.
- Experience working with infrastructure as code technologies such as Terraform or equivalent.
- Experience observability technologies like Promtheus, OpenTelemetry or similar.
