Engineer for Development Tools Support Team

Arcadia is a unified internal code repository at Yandex. It is not only a code storage and VCS, but also an ecosystem with utilities for working with code, part of which is the system for automatic code building and testing.

We use the Trunk-Based Development model, and our build system processes the vast majority of pull requests: checks if they break the code and whether tests run and pass successfully after them.

Our team provides support for the code build and testing system tools, subsequent code packaging, and other tools for efficient development and code delivery to the production environment, including an internal Domain-Specific Language that describes the algorithms for building the desired code.
