At Sonos we want to create the ultimate listening experience for our customers and know that it starts by listening to each other. As part of the Sonos team, you’ll collaborate with people of all styles, skill sets, and backgrounds to realize our vision while fostering a community where everyone feels included and empowered to do the best work of their lives.

We're passionate about creating the finest sound experiences in the world. One of the keys to great experiences is great software. Great software is as important at Sonos as our award winning hardware. Great software takes hard work, solid processes, and good tools. It takes many iterations of experimentation, feedback, and adjustment. This iterative loop requires software pipelines that quickly deliver high-quality applications to our testers, partners, and customers. The Sonos Automation Infrastructure Engineering team is focused on building and maintaining the software delivery pipelines that keep our customer experiences ahead of the curve.

As an automation infrastructure engineer at Sonos, you'll work with the team to create and maintain the continuous integration and software delivery pipelines for Sonos. You’ll design, develop, and improve test automation infrastructure and frameworks, continuous integration engines, artifact repositories, and workflow automation. Your goal is to make it easy and efficient for software tests to be executed in an automated workflow with reliable results for our development teams. This is a critical role for a test tools and software pipeline aficionado who wants to work in a modern environment creating a great product that people love. If this sounds like you, let’s talk about this.
