Buildkite

Buildkite builds the world's fastest CI/CD platform, empowering platform engineering teams at companies like Uber, Shopify, Slack, and Canva to ship software with speed and confidence. Their pipelines-as-code approach gives teams flexible primitives to build composable workflows with guardrails that keep everyone in control.

Founded in Melbourne in 2013, Buildkite has operated as a fully distributed, remote-first company from day one. Their team spans 60+ cities across multiple time zones, embracing async-first communication and flexible schedules that respect work-life boundaries. The company values transparency, quality, diversity, independence, empathy, collaboration, and sustainable growth.

Buildkite offers genuinely competitive benefits that reflect their remote-first DNA: 30 days of paid vacation (exceeding Australia's mandated 20), 20 days of personal/sick leave, and industry-leading parental leave (6 months for primary carers, 3 months for secondary). All employees participate in quarterly profit sharing and receive equity through the employee share program. Home office budgets cover equipment, co-working spaces, and even houseplants - recognizing that for distributed teams, home and office are one and the same.
