Software Engineer, Build Systems & Release Infrastructure

Seoul, South Korea (Hybrid)

About the Job

Owns how FuriosaAI's software gets built, versioned, packaged, and shipped — turning a multi-language, multi-repository codebase (Rust, Python, C/C++) into reproducible, well-versioned releases of the various packages that make up the Furiosa SDK and that customers and the open-source community can rely on. This role centers on build systems, dependency management, packaging, and release engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Designs and maintains the build systems and toolchains across a polyglot codebase (Cargo, CMake, Python packaging), producing reproducible, hermetic builds across supported platforms.
• Owns the release engineering process for the various packages that make up the Furiosa SDK — versioning schemes, release branching, tagging, changelog generation, and coordinated release cuts across multiple interdependent packages.
• Manages dependency alignment across the SDK's interdependent native components, Python packages, and runtime libraries — defining version constraints and compatibility policy so releases assemble cleanly.
• Builds and operates packaging and distribution pipelines for publicly distributed artifacts — Python wheels (PyPI), APT/RPM packages, and Docker images — including Docker image builds, versioned tagging, signing, metadata, and package repository and container registry maintenance.
• Designs and manages major, minor, and hotfix release workflows, including release planning, stabilization, backports, validation, and end-of-life processes.
• Develops CI automation for build, test, integration, and release, with a focus on build correctness, artifact integrity, caching, and fast, reliable release validation.
• Resolves OS- and platform-specific build issues and upstreams fixes to the open-source community where appropriate.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience.
• 3+ years in build or release engineering, developer infrastructure, or systems software with significant build and packaging responsibility.
• Strong proficiency in Python and shell scripting (e.g., Bash) for automation.
• Hands-on experience with build systems across compiled and interpreted languages (e.g., Cargo, CMake, Make, Bazel) and with C/C++, Rust, and Python toolchains.
• Fluency with Git and experience setting up and maintaining continuous integration systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active contributor to the build/release and CI/CD systems of a real-world software project
• Experience with Python packaging and distribution (wheels, manylinux, PyPI) and native extension builds (PyO3, pybind11, or C extensions).
• Experience maintaining APT/RPM repositories and OS package distribution.
• Experience managing reproducible builds, artifact and version management, and dependency resolution across many interdependent packages.
• Experience designing and operating CI/CD with GitHub Actions or similar, including build caching and matrix builds.
• Experience releasing software for GPUs or other accelerator devices, including hardware-dependent build and test pipelines.
• Familiarity with static analysis, code coverage, supply-chain/vulnerability scanning, and artifact signing.
• Experience building across multiple operating systems and distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS/RHEL).
