Responsibilities
- 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 engineers across the company to identify toil, codify patterns, and automate repetitive manual work

- 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
- 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
