Our Mission
We aspire to build the “devops operating system”: one integrated platform to orchestrate the delivery of applications to the cloud, from start to finish. We will accomplish this by giving devops enthusiasts what they want most: a programming environment which can encode their expertise into reusable software components, while remaining compatible with their existing tools. If we are successful, the devops community will enter a new golden age of explosive innovation and collaboration, with the Dagger platform and brand at its center.
About The Role
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with a keen eye for design and a strong coding background to join our team at Dagger. This role is perfect for a designer who codes - capable of creating visually compelling user interfaces and seamlessly integrating them with backend services. This person will have the opportunity to define the visual identity of Dagger and help us make it consistent across all the Dagger products.
About The Product
Dagger is a portable development kit for CICD pipelines. Using Dagger, software teams can create powerful pipelines with minimal effort, then run them anywhere. Devops engineers love Dagger because it allows:
- Re-using the same pipelines across dev and CI
- Testing and debugging pipelines locally
- Re-using their same pipeline across CI environment, without re-writes
You can expect to:
- Design and implement intuitive user interfaces.
- Dagger user interfaces are currently using ReactJS (Javascript / Typescript) and WASM (Go).
- Work directly with our teams, users and Dagger clients to translate requirements into engaging and functional UI.
- Develop and maintain the frontend codebase, ensuring high performance and scalability.
