Principal Architect, AI-Native Developer Experience

Role overview Lead the technical direction for an AI-enabled software development experience where engineers and coding agents work together. The role combines architecture and hands-on engineering: establishing shared practices, building prototypes and production systems, and helping teams adopt approaches that improve the full software delivery lifecycle.

Responsibilities - Define the architecture and roadmap for AI-supported engineering, recording key decisions and evolving the plan as tools and evidence change. - Evaluate models, agents, and developer tools through focused experiments; turn successful approaches into supported patterns. - Set practices for working with coding agents, including task specification, context design, code review, shared tools, and team learning. - Design agent workflows across triage, implementation, testing, review, and remediation, with safeguards and human review appropriate to risk. - Improve the context available to engineers and agents through maintained code, service, architecture, and product knowledge. - Modernize development environments and delivery pipelines, partnering across teams on testing, security, deployment, measurement, and adoption.

Requirements - A relevant degree or equivalent practical experience. - At least 10 years in software engineering, including at least 7 years in architecture or senior technical leadership. - Regular hands-on use of AI coding agents, with evidence of turning that experience into practices or tools adopted by other engineers. - Experience delivering production LLM systems, including agent coordination, tool use, context design, retrieval, and evaluation. - Strong experience with CI/CD and the ability to design, prototype, implement, and guide complex technical changes. - Ability to work across engineering and partner teams, mentor others, and balance technical quality, delivery speed, security, and cost.
