Job description

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.

  • 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

  • Help onboard client and/or partner 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

Basic Qualifications

  • As the ideal candidate, you have experience as a consultant, managing infrastructure, leveraging IaC as a software  professional, working within a team environment, with exposure or demonstrated passion for XP practices such as pair programming and automation

  • 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 working with external customers and troubleshooting issues with customer network, infosec, and support teams

  • 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

    • Docker and/or Nix for building images and packages

    • Building infrastructure scripts and CLI tools using bash, Go or a similar language.

Things to Consider Before Applying

  • This role is client-facing and partner-facing; communication, facilitation and collaboration are core parts of the work

  • Our technology organization has an on-call rotation essential to operating the systems we deliver. You may be expected to participate in this rotation based on business needs.

  • Pair programming is a foundational practice and may involve a learning curve

  • Periodic travel is expected

  • Collaboration across time zones is part of the role, with teams located across North America and Europe.
