Senior Software Engineer – Building Developer Tooling and Platforms The Graph team is looking for a

Senior Software Engineer

who is passionate about building developer tooling and platforms that enforce high code quality across an open plugin ecosystem. In this role you will lead the engineering strategy for quality systems and collaborate closely with product and development teams to build robust automation APIs, services, and frameworks.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain code‑quality tooling: AST analyzers, linters, static analysis, and security checks (secret scanning, license compliance, etc.).

Engineer automated code review systems: bots, rule engines, policy‑as‑code, and PR gates aligned to measurable quality standards.

Develop scalable regression testing infrastructure: harnesses, fixtures, synthetic data, impact‑based and selective test execution.

Integrate quality gates into CI/CD; enforce standards pre‑merge and pre‑release.

Build APIs/CLIs/services that surface quality signals to developers and integrate with release workflows.

Instrument coverage, reliability, and security metrics; deliver dashboards and alerts to drive continuous improvement.

Collaborate with teams to translate acceptance criteria into executable checks; enable adoption and extension of the tooling.

Provide technical leadership on architecture, performance, reliability, and maintainability of quality systems.

Partner with release engineering to optimize pipelines (caching, parallelization, artifact management) and reduce cycle time.

What You Need to Succeed

Bachelor’s in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience.

10+ years in software engineering building tools, platforms, or backend services.

Strong programming skills in TypeScript.

Experience engineering automation frameworks or developer tooling (Playwright, Cypress) with CI integration.

Solid understanding of CI/CD, Git, branching strategies, and policy enforcement in pipelines.

Familiarity with TypeScript static analysis, code quality metrics, and policy‑as‑code.

Strong debugging, systems design, and performance analysis skills.

Nice to Have

Security tooling experience (SAST/DAST), dependency/supply chain scanning, SBOM generation.

Performance/reliability testing (JMeter, Gatling) and observability practices.

Containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).

Experience with microservices/distributed systems and test data management.

BDD/spec‑as‑code where it supports automated gating.

Why This Role Matters

Our plugin ecosystem thrives on trust and reliability. This role engineers the tooling, gates, and workflows that ensure only high‑quality, secure, and well‑tested contributions are accepted, scaling quality across many contributors without slowing teams down.

Compensation The U.S. pay range for this position is $159,200 – $301,600 annually. In California, the range is $208,300 – $301,600. Pay within this range varies by work location and may also depend on job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience.
