Phd Computer Science Jobs in Raleigh, NC (NOW HIRING)

We are looking for an experienced CI Infrastructure Engineer to own and evolve the continuous integration (CI) infrastructure that supports our Machine Learning compiler stack. In this role, you will ensure the reliability, performance, and scalability of the CI systems used by compiler engineers, enabling fast feedback, high-quality releases, and data-driven insights into compiler health and performance.

You will work closely with compiler developers and infrastructure partners to monitor CI health, administer and improve server environments, maintain Jenkins pipelines, and build dashboards that surface key trends and KPIs for the compiler.

CI Infrastructure & Operations

• Monitor the health, capacity, and performance of servers running CI jobs
• Administer and maintain CI infrastructure, including hardware and OS-level configuration, updates, and troubleshooting
• Proactively identify and resolve infrastructure bottlenecks and reliability issues
• Improve CI stability, scalability, and job execution efficiency

Pipeline Development & Maintenance

• Design, create, and maintain Jenkins pipelines for building, testing, and validating a Machine Learning compiler
• Collaborate with compiler engineers to integrate new tests, workflows, and tooling into CI
• Optimize pipelines for faster feedback, reproducibility, and ease of maintenance

Test Monitoring

• Monitor CI test failures and regressions, distinguishing infrastructure issues from product defects
• Partner with developers to triage and resolve failures promptly

Metrics, Dashboards & Insights

• Build and maintain dashboards that visualize trends and KPIs for compiler correctness, performance, and CI health
• Enable data-driven decision-making by surfacing actionable insights from CI data
• Continuously refine metrics to better reflect compiler quality and developer productivity

• 5+ years of industry experience supporting CI workflows for software development
• Strong experience with Jenkins and CI/CD pipeline development
• Strong experience with collaborative software development and version control tools such as git, github, Jira
• Strong understanding of software build and test workflows
• Proficiency in Bash, C++, Python, cmake
• Hands‑on experience administering Linux‑based servers and CI infrastructure
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, pipelines, and test systems
• Experience collaborating with developers to improve CI reliability and effectiveness

• Experience supporting CI for compiler or performance‑critical software
• Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and metrics systems used in CI environments
• Experience designing CI systems at scale or for heterogeneous hardware environments

• A reliability‑first mindset with strong ownership of CI systems
• Ability to balance short‑term fixes with long‑term infrastructure improvements
• Clear communication skills and comfort working with senior engineers and technical leads
• Passion for developer productivity, automation, and high‑quality engineering systems

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience
• Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience
• PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field
