> Build and maintain an internal agentic AI platform to accelerate developer workflows at Tulip. Identify high-impact AI opportunities in code generation, testing, debugging and tooling; own evals, standards, onboarding and measurement of AI adoption. Requires 5+ years software engineering experience with strong hands-on LLM/agentic AI and full-stack TypeScript skills.

## Job Description

## Key Responsibilities
- Partner with engineering teams to identify the highest-leverage AI opportunities in the developer workflow: from code generation and review to testing, debugging, and internal tooling.
- Build and maintain the internal agentic AI platform engineers rely on daily: skills, plugins, MCP servers, and integrations across our tech stack (source control, CI/CD, observability, ticketing, and more).
- Own foundational architecture and standards for how agents and model releases are evaluated, and deployed internally: including reliability, evals, efficiency, and secure tool access patterns.
- Build and improve the onboarding, documentation, and discovery layer that helps engineers find and adopt the right AI tools (skills catalogs, guides, internal wikis) rather than reinventing them.
- Stay plugged into agentic AI and developer-tooling trends externally to shape internal standards and roadmap decisions.
- Meaningfully contribute to organizational AI enablement for engineering, including internal learning programs, office hours, and change management as new tools roll out.
- Instrument and measure adoption and impact of internal AI tooling, and use that data to prioritize what to build next.

## Requirements
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with a focus on developer tooling, platform engineering, or internal-facing/DevX systems.
- Meaningful hands-on experience building with AI/LLMs and shipping agentic solutions. Whether that's a career focus, or a more recent but deep pivot into the space.
- Proven ability to build internal tools that make powerful AI capabilities accessible to engineers, including the judgment to know when to build vs. buy, and when to standardize vs. let teams experiment.
- A natural collaborator who earns trust with engineers quickly, understands real engineering pain points, and co-creates solutions that get adopted rather than shelved.
- Strong full-stack proficiency (TypeScript and related ecosystem), deep familiarity with API design and integration (RESTful services, MCP, and similar), and comfort working across a modern engineering tech stack.
- Deep hands-on experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, agent frameworks, RAG, and tool-use/function-calling patterns.
- Production experience with AWS, modern CI/CD practices, and a genuine understanding of AI safety and security, especially around code execution and access to internal systems.
- Experience with or strong interest in developer experience fundamentals: reducing friction, measuring engineering productivity, and treating internal tooling like a product with real users.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent work experience.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Stay plugged into agentic AI and developer-tooling trends externally.
- Contribute to internal learning programs, office hours, and change management.
