In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of building systems, tools, and experiences that make software development faster, easier, and more joyful—using the latest advancements in AI. You will work across engineering teams to identify friction points, prototype and build intelligent developer workflows, and drive the adoption of best-in-class tooling. You will have significant ownership and impact in shaping the future of how our engineers work.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain AI-augmented developer tools, services, and workflows.
Lead initiatives to improve code quality, velocity, and team productivity.
Integrate AI into internal tooling (e.g., AI code review assistants, intelligent test generation, automated documentation).
Partner with engineering leadership and developers to identify and prioritize DevEx improvements.
Create tooling that integrates into CI/CD pipelines, IDEs, and development workflows.
Stay ahead of the curve on AI advancements and developer platform technologies.
Mentor other engineers on best practices for developer tooling and automation.
Advocate for a culture of excellent developer experience across the company.
What you need to succeed
5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years focusing on Developer Experience or developer tooling.
Deep understanding of software development workflows, CI/CD, source control (Git), testing, and automation.
Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML models into engineering processes (e.g., LLMs like OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source LLMs).
Proficiency in backend development (e.g., Python, Go, Node.js) and scripting languages.
Experience building plugins or extensions for developer tools (e.g., VS Code, GitHub Apps, CLI tools).
Strong communication skills and empathy for developer pain points.
Bias for action — you turn insights into working solutions quickly and iteratively.
Bonus Points
Experience building with AI platforms (OpenAI, Hugging Face, LangChain, etc.).
Experience working in platform engineering, productivity engineering, or DevOps.
Prior contributions to open-source developer tools.
Familiarity with observability and performance tooling.
Background in machine learning, natural language processing, or prompt engineering.
