About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Build and evolve developer infrastructure: Own CI/CD systems, build tooling, and developer platforms that improve velocity and reliability across engineering. Drive measurable improvements in build/test times, deployment frequency, and onboarding experience.
  • Design and implement agentic workflows: Build MCP servers, autonomous agents, and AI-assisted tooling that embed AI deeply into the development lifecycle. Help teams integrate these tools effectively into their day-to-day work.
  • Own the developer experience: Improve the end-to-end developer journey — from local development and testing to deployment and observability. Identify and eliminate friction, treating internal engineers as your customers.
  • Drive technical excellence: Bring strong systems thinking to architecture and tooling decisions that improve developer ergonomics, feedback loops, and development velocity.
  • Evaluate and adopt AI tooling: Stay current on AI-powered development tools and guide adoption across the engineering org to deliver measurable productivity gains.

What You’ll Bring

  • Strong experience building and evolving CI/CD systems and build tooling (e.g., Bazel, Buck, GitHub Actions, Buildkite, CircleCI).
  • Hands-on experience with agentic frameworks, MCP servers, LLM tooling, or AI-assisted development workflows.
  • Experience improving developer experience across local development, CI/CD pipelines, internal tooling, and developer workflows.
  • Familiarity with production systems in public cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or similar).
  • Experience with containerized environments, Kubernetes, and modern infrastructure tooling (e.g., ArgoCD, Istio, Atmos).
  • Strong track record of leveraging AI tools and workflows to materially improve engineering velocity and operational efficiency.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams and functions.

Bonus Points if...

  • You've built or contributed to an internal developer platform (IDP) at scale.
  • You have experience with multi-agent orchestration (LangGraph, LangChain, or similar).
  • You've worked in regulated industries or healthcare environments.
