Staff Engineer, Agent Productivity

What You’ll Own

• Developer Environments — Own the local dev experience: devboxes, local DBs, Docker workflows, dependencies, secrets, and agent ergonomics.
• Build, Test, and CI — Make feedback loops faster and more reliable. Reduce flaky tests, improve CI failure modes, and align local validation with CI.
• Verification Infrastructure — Build reusable checks for high-risk workflows: frontend flows, migrations, schema changes, integration paths, API contracts, and structured evidence that lets reviewers trust agent-generated code.
• Internal Tooling — Replace bespoke scripts and tribal knowledge with paved-road workflows: CLIs, scaffolds, templates, codegen, migration helpers, and release utilities that make the right workflow the default.
• Agent Tool Access — Create scoped, auditable access to local DBs, browsers, GitHub, CI, logs, and docs while keeping PHI and production-data workflows controlled.

Who You Are

• 7+ years of software engineering experience with Staff-level impact across teams.
• Deep experience building developer productivity, platform, CI, test, or internal tooling systems that engineers adopted.
• Strong backend/platform fundamentals in TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python, or similar.
• Daily user of Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or equivalent on real production codebases.
• Clear opinions on where agents help, where they fail, and what infrastructure makes them reliable.
• Sound security judgment — can translate risk into practical controls without freezing progress.
• Willing to work from our San Francisco office 3x/week.
