About the role

What you'll do

  • Collaborate on key areas of the Developer Platform contributing to technical implementation alongside the team.
  • Help improve the speed, reliability, and developer experience of the monorepo CI/CD pipeline so engineers spend more time shipping and less time waiting on or debugging builds.
  • Help productionize the Agentic AI platform: agent observability, RAG, and the context-engineering patterns that keep agents reliable from dev through prod.
  • Partner with the team to consolidate fragmented build systems and deliver standardized “paved road” blueprints so new products can onboard and ship to production quickly.
  • Partner with engineers across the company to identify toil, codify patterns, and automate repetitive manual work.
  • Participate in design and code reviews, and contribute your technical voice to engineering velocity and operational excellence.

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years of experience building and operating production services and platform infrastructure in modern cloud environments.
  • Proficiency with Go (Golang), or strong readiness to ramp quickly.
  • Experience with CI/CD systems, container-based orchestration, and the tooling required to scale a large monorepo across build, test, and release.
  • A strong AI-forward mindset; ability to connect your past technical experience with modern, AI-driven development practices (e.g., LLM-based automation, context engineering).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to work with engineers across the company to identify and automate away repetitive manual tasks.
  • A genuine fit with a high-paced, “ship it” culture: self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and focused on data-driven improvements to product delivery.

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience scaling GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows, Buildkite, or comparable build/workflow systems.
  • Background in developer experience metrics (DORA, SPACE) and building the instrumentation to measure and improve them.
  • Experience operating a large Go monorepo and the tooling around it.
  • Familiarity with the supply chain security space, container ecosystems (OCI, Kubernetes), or open source software communities.
  • Experience running stakeholder feedback loops with engineering teams as customers.
