About the role

Responsibilities

  • Set technical and product direction for the Code Plane team, driving the roadmap from issue to shipped product.
  • Tackle hardest technical problems hands-on while guiding the team to grow and keeping them unblocked.
  • Translate customer needs and fuzzy product input into a clear roadmap; scope projects with Product and Design; make trade-off decisions on what to build or cut.
  • Own and ship critical pieces of Agentic Batch Changes end-to-end.
  • Strengthen team practices for design, code review, testing, and delivery.
  • Mentor teammates and build high-trust relationships.
  • Participate in on-call support rotation.
  • Partner closely with Product, Design, Customer Engineering, and adjacent teams.
  • Act as technical visionary on architecture, quality, product trade-offs, and where to invest next in the agentic coding space.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Strong technical background with ability to provide guidance on architecture, code quality, and trade-offs.
  • Proven experience building end-user product features, ideally in developer tools, agent/AI products, CLIs, or similar technical surfaces.
  • Experience partnering closely with Product and Design to take features from idea to shipped product.
  • Customer-facing experience including discovery calls, design partnerships, and incorporating feedback into roadmaps.
  • Hands-on experience shipping products consumed by or built for AI agents (e.g. MCP).
  • Strong point of view on coding agents — what they excel at, where they fail, and how to design products to make them dramatically more useful.
  • Excited to ship products for the AI agent ecosystem.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; thrives in collaborative, respectful, async-first culture.
  • Proactively keeps stakeholders informed; comfortable pushing back or changing direction based on better ideas.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with Batch Changes, Code Monitors, Code Insights, or src CLI.
  • Background in building AI-powered developer tools or agentic systems at scale.
  • Prior technical leadership or team lead experience in fast-moving product teams.
