Join Our Team as a Bazel Engineer at Modus Create!

We are looking for a Bazel Engineer to join our Scalable Builds Group and collaborate with cross-functional teams on build system architecture and consulting for complex codebases.

About You:

Experience Level: Senior Level

You are a tinkerer who enjoys digging into challenging problems. You approach complexity with pragmatism, and you're quick to adapt your discoveries to real-world systems.
You are an effective communicator empathetic to client needs, thoughtful in your written and verbal communication, and confident in presenting technical work clearly.
You bring the mindset of a consultant: confident yet humble, principled yet practical. You bring open-source values into client environments, driving technical direction with clarity and purpose.
You have broad exposure to multiple programming languages and platforms, along with hands-on experience with build tools and developer productivity infrastructure.
You are eager to deepen your expertise in build systems, especially Bazel, and evolve into a technical leader in this domain, not just in usage but also in infrastructure and architecture.
You’re adaptable, thrive in collaborative environments, and enjoy continuous learning.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk!

Bonus Points For:

Python – having worked with a large Python codebase, ideally with type checking in place
TypeScript – for writing developer tools or managing large-scale frontend/backend projects
Docker – experience containerizing builds and CI environments

Core Responsibilities:

Partner with client teams to modernize their build infrastructure
Analyze existing build systems and propose improvements to scalability, reliability, and performance
Help migrate legacy systems to Bazel or improve Bazel-based setups
Contribute to open source projects related to build tooling (e.g., rules_haskell, rules_nixpkgs, rules_scala)
Engage with the Bazel community through blog posts, Slack, mailing lists, and public talks

You’ll Love:

Mentoring and coaching both clients and Modus teammates from the comfort of home.
Deep diving into customer needs and translating them into actionable requirements.
Exploring new tech and continuously learning—because software is always evolving!
Sharing your knowledge and participating actively in the community.

Team Collaboration:

Overlap with the US Eastern TimeZone daily is expected.
Reliable high-speed internet is a must!
