Work at Buildkite
Build tools for the best
software teams in the world.
Small team, global impact
We believe small companies are beautiful, and that small teams can achieve big things. This makes everyone on the team an important part of Buildkite.
Flexible work hours
We don’t keep set office hours, so you can shift your hours around life’s commitments and non-work activities. Take time out of work for exercise, family or whatever life throws at you.
Support and growth
In a small but growing company, you’ll have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects, and ship work that helps customers.
Work from anywhere
We’re a globally distributed, remote-first company, and all our work happens over chat and video calls. Work from your home office, a co-working space, or your local cat café.
Working at Buildkite has given me the freedom to grow and flourish in all aspects of my life, personally and professionally. I’m proud to be a part of such a passionate and supportive team.
