The Seven League team takes its name from the fairy tale boots that let you cover seven leagues in a single stride. Our job: make every engineer at CloudBees faster by building tools so good they don't need to ask.
We're a catalyst, not a bottleneck. We build the boots and hand them out.
We work across the full software development lifecycle: pipeline automation, AI-assisted workflows, self-service platforms, and whatever else removes friction. We ship code, not advice.
What You'll Do
Build reusable tooling that eliminates manual processes across the engineering org
Work with engineering teams across the company to turn "ask me and I'll do it" into "here's a tool you can use anytime"
Own projects end-to-end: from identifying the friction to shipping the solution
Talk to the engineers you're building for, incorporate their feedback, iterate
Participate in code reviews, push the bar, and mentor teammates
What we're looking for
Must have
5+ years of software engineering experience
You reach for code when you see a repetitive process, you love building tools your peers actually use
Excited about AI-assisted development and what's happening right now. Not watching from the sidelines.
Strong communication and influencing skills. We work without authority. Adoption is earned, not mandated. If engineers don't use what we build, that's on us.
Java. You've written production Java, not just read it
Cloud (AWS or GCP or Azure) and Docker basics
Collaborative by default. Robust opinions, loosely held. You give direct feedback with care and receive it the same way. The team gets better because you're on it.
Strong plus
Jenkins. You've built on it as a developer, not just clicked through the UI. Deep knowledge (plugin development, Groovy DSL, internals) is a big bonus.
You've built software start-to-finish using AI coding
