Software Build / CICD Engineer

Janicki Industries•Bellingham, WA

21h•Onsite

About The Position

At Janicki Industries, we turn complex ideas into real-world solutions through advanced engineering and manufacturing. Our teams design and build innovative structures, tooling, and systems that support industries including aerospace, space, defense, marine, and architecture. The Software Build / CICD Engineer owns the build, release, and deployment infrastructure that Janicki’s development teams depend on to ship software reliably. This role involves designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines that build applications across multiple configurations and architectures, managing deployment environments from staging through production, and ensuring secure handling of secrets, credentials, and access controls. This is a hands-on infrastructure role with a strong emphasis on Windows-based environments, on-premise runners, and virtualization, as much of Janicki’s internal software runs on Windows desktops and servers across manufacturing facilities. The engineer will work closely with development teams building applications in C# and .NET, helping them ship faster and more safely by providing robust pipelines, reproducible build environments, and clear deployment workflows. The ideal candidate understands software development deeply enough to troubleshoot build failures and dependency issues, but is passionate about the infrastructure and automation that makes development teams productive.
