Overview

Join us in shaping the future of deployments at GitHub. The Deploys team owns and operates the
systems that ship code to production for GitHub.com and its surrounding services - including
deployment orchestration, philosophies, pre-staging, and testing environments deployed across
GitHub.

In this role you will design, build, and operate critical deployment infrastructure that serves
every engineering team at GitHub. You’ll tackle challenges spanning Kubernetes orchestration,
container lifecycle management, availability zone balancing, capacity planning, and CI/CD
pipeline reliability — all at a scale where minutes of downtime have global impact.

We are looking for creative problem solvers and diverse thinkers, people who care about culture
as well as reliability. We believe that how we do things is as important as what we do. Big
vision, a common purpose, passion for quality, curiosity, dedication, and investment in fun and
collaboration are what lead to great results. Great infrastructure reflects the teams that build it.
