> Staff-level engineer building infrastructure, tooling, and documentation to make AI coding agents dramatically more productive across the codebase. Owns agentic dev environments, MCP integrations, and agent context.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Own the agentic development environment: Ensure agents can operate in independent cloud-based development environments, execute full test suites, examine build results visually
- Build tooling integrations: Build MCP server integrations that connect agents to systems needed to build and debug software (CircleCI, Slack, Datadog, Github, etc.)
- Documentation and context: Own repo-wide agents.md file and work with teams to ensure library of agent guidance and skills is continually pushing the bar; ensure conventions and package structures are exposed in ways agents can effectively use
- Enablement: Work with engineers to understand where agents are struggling and address root causes such as better docs, tooling access; develop tooling for non-engineers to make simple visual updates to the application
- Serve as a "PM" for internal AI agents: Stay abreast of state-of-the-art AI productivity trends and drive improvements across the organization

## Requirements
- Strong software engineering fundamentals—you can dive into complex backend code and understand it quickly
- Deep hands-on experience with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Devin, or similar)
- Experience writing effective agent documentation, custom instructions, or context files that meaningfully improved agent output
- Track record of building developer tools or infrastructure that other engineers actually use
- Comfortable working across the stack: CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, internal tooling, and application code

## Nice to Have
- Experience building or contributing to MCP servers or similar agent-tooling integrations
- Background in developer productivity, platform engineering, or developer experience roles
- Experience with TypeScript/JavaScript monorepos, Go, GraphQL
- Experience setting up sandboxed or containerized development environments at scale
