Buildkite runs a six-stage process: an application, a recruiter screen, a role-specific Technical Interview (which may include a hands-on task), a Craft Interview assessing four competencies (Productivity, Team Player, Customer Obsessed, and Curiosity), a Values Interview, and a final outcome communicated by email. Because the company is fully remote, every stage happens over chat and video.
Buildkite is fully remote, so you can work from a home office, a co-working space, or wherever you focus best. Hiring is limited to two corridors: the ANZ region (Australia and New Zealand, described in some postings as APJ) and the US Pacific timezone. Buildkite states that applicants outside those regions cannot currently be hired, and that it is not in a position to offer sponsorship.
Recent openings span engineering (platform, data, ML, and security roles up to Principal and VP level) alongside go-to-market and customer-facing positions such as Account Executive, GTM Engineer, Customer Success Manager, and Technical Account Manager.
Buildkite is a small but growing team of roughly 150 people, deliberately kept lean on the belief that small teams can achieve big things. It is venture-backed, having raised about $41M across a 2020 Series A and a 2022 Series B.
People who do well here are comfortable working async in a small, globally distributed team, enjoy owning a wide range of projects, and value flexible hours over fixed office time. Five stated values steer the culture: Bring the weird, Be real with each other, Maintain momentum, Empower others, and Build it together.
