Sr. Software Engineer - Engineering Enablement

About this role

Position Summary

This is a senior-level individual contributor on the Engineering Enablement team. The team builds the shared CI/CD infrastructure, AI development tooling, and sandbox environments that hundreds of R&D engineers depend on. A core part of that mission is advancing MeridianLink's AI-native development program — building the harnesses, agent infrastructure, and shared tooling that move engineering teams from ad-hoc AI usage toward autonomous, repeatable development pipelines. This role owns a significant chunk of that platform and drives adoption across engineering teams.

This is a hands-on role: real code, real infrastructure, direct engagement with engineering teams. The measure of success is how much faster you make everyone else.

Key Competencies

*What it means to be a Senior Engineer at MeridianLink*

• Identifies edge cases and failure modes independently within assigned scope
• Participates actively in code review with constructive, specific feedback
• Surfaces blockers early rather than waiting for check-ins

*Craft & Professionalism*

• Writes tests that catch regressions without over-engineering the suite
• Monitors shipped work, responds to issues, and follows incidents to resolution
• Puts institutional knowledge into shared systems rather than individual heads

*CI/CD & Build Systems*

• Designs pipeline abstractions (templates, shared jobs, reusable configs) that work across multiple teams and tech stacks
• Reasons clearly about the tradeoffs between standardization and flexibility at org scale
• Keeps pipelines healthy, observable, and continuously improvi...
