About the role
What you’ll do
Streamline the build-and-ship loop. Design internal systems and agents that accelerate how we write, review, test, and ship code - turning manual engineering toil into automated, agent-assisted workflows.
Automate platform operations. Build the systems that keep the platform healthy with less human effort - CI/CD, observability, alerting, and agent-assisted monitoring and incident response.
Continually improve our internal developer platform. Create the paved roads, tooling, and environments that let every engineer ship faster and more safely, and that make our agentic workflows reliable and repeatable.
Seek leverage. Identify where automation and agents pay off most across the engineering org, prototype quickly, and measure the impact on velocity and reliability.
Elevate the team. Establish the internal tooling patterns, libraries, and standards the rest of the team builds against. Mentor and recruit the engineers who’ll work alongside you.
Who you are
You’re deeply customer-focused. But in this case, your “customers” are your engineering teammates. You care about their workflows and the outcomes your tools produce, and you measure success by how much faster and safer the org ships.
You’re a builder at heart. You’ve shipped meaningful systems used by real people. You likely have side projects, strong opinions about technology, and genuine curiosity about where AI is heading. You are a creator.
You operate with urgency and ownership. You move quickly without sacrificing reliability or trust. You proactively identify problems, communicate clearly, and drive solutions.
You elevate the people around you. You bring strong engineering judgment, high standards, and collaborative energy. Teams become stronger when you’re involved.
You’re excited by difficult systems problems. Developer experience, automation, agent reliability, observability, and AI-assisted operations genuinely interest you.
What you’ll bring on the technical side
Strong proficiency in Go, Python, and/or TypeScript is a bonus, but we trust that great engineers can learn on the job.
Experience building developer tooling, internal platforms, CI/CD, or DevOps/SRE systems in production.
Hands-on experience building with LLMs or agents - or strong conviction and curiosity about applying them to engineering workflows.
Comfort with infrastructure and operations - Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Pulumi), observability, and the practices that keep systems healthy under load.
A track record of leading a technical surface end-to-end. Bonus if you’ve built agentic developer tooling or internal automation that measurably moved a team’s velocity.
