The technology disclosed herein enables migrating a software build job from a first computing node to a second computing node. An example method may comprise detecting, by a processor, a first software build job executing on a first computing node; detecting a second software build job in a waiting state; determining that the first computing node is capable of executing the second software build job; responsive to determining that a second computing node is capable of executing the first software build job, migrating the first software build job to the second node; and executing the second software build job on the first node.
