About the Role
We're looking for a Senior AI Platform / DevTool Engineer to build the reusable AI tooling, automation, and shared services that help our internal and external teams ship faster and more consistently. This is a platform role, not a customer-facing prompt role, you'll build the RAG systems, AI-assisted workflows, and developer tools that turn scattered individual AI usage into a real engineering capability. You'll have the freedom to go from idea to working internal tool, with real ownership over adoption, reliability, and cost. What You’ll Do Build internal AI tools and workflow automation that remove repeated manual work across Engineering, Product, QA, and Design. Implement RAG-based knowledge systems that make product specs, technical docs, and architecture decisions actually searchable and useful. Create reusable AI-assisted SDLC workflows, from product briefs and acceptance criteria to test scenarios and release documentation. Evaluate and integrate coding assistants, design-to-code tooling, and other AI-enabled developer tools where they create real leverage. Define secure, observable, and cost-aware patterns for AI tooling, and own usage, reliability, and cost monitoring across what you build. What We’re Looking For 6+ years in software engineering, platform engineering, developer tooling, or related technical roles, plus 2+ years building AI-powered tools, LLM-based systems, or RAG solutions. Strong software engineering background with a track record of shipping reliable, maintainable tools used by other engineers. Experience designing APIs, SDKs, or reusable internal services that teams actually adopt. Solid grasp of RAG architectures, embeddings, vector databases, and retrieval workflows. Strong written communication and the ability to work autonomously in a remote, async environment. Comfort with ownership, transparency, and a results-driven mindset.
Nice to Have
Experience with Figma-to-code, component generation, or design-system automation. Familiarity with coding assistants, AI agents, or agentic workflow orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, or similar). Experience integrating AI tooling into GitHub, Jira, Slack, Confluence, Linear, or CI/CD pipelines. Background supporting external engineering teams or vendor delivery models. How We Work We’re fully remote and distributed across time zones. We default to async, communicate in writing, and trust people to deliver outcomes, not log hours. Decisions are transparent, ownership is clear, and your work is visible from day one. Interview Process We've designed our interview process to be transparent, respectful of your time, and a genuine two-way conversation, we want to get to know you, and we want you to get to know us. You'll always know what stage you're at, what to expect next, and roughly how long things will take.
