Summary
Octave BricsCAD is a global technology company creating innovative Computer Aided Design software for worldwide markets. Our products enable the world’s most innovative companies to streamline complex design workflows every day. Our people are active in 80 countries, and our software is available in fifteen languages. We offer innovative solutions for 2D drafting, 3D direct modeling, manufacturing (e.g., sheet metal), surveying and building (BIM) design. Octave BricsCAD powers an ecosystem of over 1,200 market‑specific applications through our developer program. Our focus is to deliver reliable software with friendly licensing and industry-leading direct support — all at a fair price.
We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to help us build and modernize our custom CI infrastructure and setup. We moved a few years ago to GitHub so one of your responsibilities is to smoothen the integration of the existing setup and in a second stage to see what improvements we can make to the setup.
You help build out the tools that are used by the rest of our development team to ensure the road from code to product goes as smoothly as possible. This includes updating our custom-built building tool, maintaining and updating CMake configurations, analyzing and implementing solutions to bring the building time down as much as possible, complete the migration of remaining SVN repositories to GitHub.
Next to building out the pipelines and tools you will also monitor and maintain the running setup and intervene in case of any hiccup. You will highlight meaningful trends and insights and track key metrics which will influence our development process and roadmap.
