Staff Software Engineer (Developer Platform)

205k – 231kUnited StatesRemote8+ YOE
Summary

Staff Software Engineer on the Developer Platform team building internal infrastructure, monorepo CI/CD, and Agentic AI tooling to accelerate secure software delivery. Requires 8+ years experience with Go, CI/CD, and cloud platform infrastructure.

About the role

What you'll do

  • Take ownership of significant pieces of the Developer Platform, across monorepo CI/CD, the Agentic AI platform (DriftlessAF), shared build infrastructure, or the change-throughput substrate, and contribute to technical direction.
  • Improve the speed, reliability, and developer experience of the monorepo CI/CD pipeline.
  • Contribute to the next generation of change throughput — exploring substrates beyond PR-based workflows for agent-driven changes, trusted agents committing directly to main, and AI-assisted review and auto-merge.
  • Help productionize the Agentic AI platform: agent observability, RAG-as-platform, and context-engineering patterns.
  • Consolidate fragmented build systems and deliver standardized "paved road" blueprints for new products.
  • Partner with engineers to identify toil, codify patterns, and automate manual work.
  • Mentor teammates, raise the bar on design and code review, and serve as a technical voice for engineering velocity.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years building and operating production services and platform infrastructure in modern cloud environments.
  • Proficiency with Go, or strong readiness to ramp quickly.
  • Deep technical expertise in CI/CD systems, container-based orchestration, and scaling a large monorepo.
  • Experience contributing to technical direction across multiple teams.
  • Familiarity with Agentic AI and LLM-based automation in production, and interest in context engineering (RAG, memory, tool-calling).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of automating repetitive manual work.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a focus on data-driven improvements.

Nice to have

  • Experience scaling GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows, Buildkite, or comparable systems.
  • Experience scaling change-throughput beyond traditional PR workflows.
  • Background in developer experience metrics (DORA, SPACE).
  • Experience operating a large Go monorepo.
  • Familiarity with supply chain security, container ecosystems (OCI, Kubernetes), or open source communities.
  • Experience publishing internal-platform OKRs and running stakeholder feedback loops.
