Summary: CircleCI is the world’s largest continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform, and they are seeking recent graduates for their Associate Rotation Program. This 12-month program offers two rotations across core technical teams, where participants will work on real engineering projects that integrate AI into the software development process. Responsibilities: - Design and build infrastructure that validates AI-written code at machine speed - Work on intelligent resource allocation that adapts dynamically to AI workload patterns - Help make sub-second response times the norm, not the goal - Debug problems that literally no textbook covers yet - Build AI-powered features that predict build failures before they blow up - Create natural language interfaces so developers can configure pipelines through conversation - Ship seamless integrations with AI coding assistants like Cursor, Copilot, and Claude - Turn vague product ideas into shipped code fast - Build pipelines processing billions of AI-generated build events in real time - Develop ML models that identify patterns in how AI agents write, test, and break code - Create analytics products that help customers understand their AI-augmented dev velocity - Turn raw signal into decisions that actually move the needle Required Qualifications: - Recent graduate ready to define what software development looks like in the AI era - Strong opinions, loosely held, and the ability to defend ideas in a room full of sharp engineers - Ability to thrive in ambiguity and see unclear problems as interesting challenges - Ability to move fast, iterate faster, and ask for forgiveness over permission - Genuine love for building things and desire to see work used in production - Understanding of AI as a development paradigm, not just a productivity shortcut - Ability to use AI tools natively in workflow - Understanding of the limitations of AI-generated code and when it needs extra scrutiny - Ability to reason about autonomous agents interacting with DevOps infrastructure - Curiosity about the evolving AI landscape Required Skills: Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), AI fluency, Software Development, Machine Learning, Data Engineering, DevOps, AI-powered feature development, Natural Language Interfaces, Debugging, ML model development, AI tool usage, Advocacy, Curiosity Benefits: MacBook Pro + full tech stack access, Latest AI tool subscriptions, including Cursor, Claude, and whatever comes out next that's worth it, Health, dental, vision, unlimited PTO, wellness perks
