About this role
Role overview
A senior engineering role focused on elevating the productivity of the engineering organization by building internal tooling, platforms, and infrastructure. The position centers on identifying friction in engineering workflows and delivering solutions that meaningfully accelerate how engineers ship software. It is a high-ownership opportunity for someone who enjoys building for other builders at scale.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain internal developer platforms, tools, and infrastructure that improve engineering productivity, reliability, and day-to-day experience - Lead complex technical initiatives end to end, from scoping and architecture through rollout and iteration, with significant autonomy - Identify developer friction through metrics, feedback, and direct collaboration with engineering teams, then drive solutions that reduce toil and increase velocity across the organization - Shape technical direction through design reviews, code reviews, and architectural discussions that influence how internal platforms are built and scaled - Operate effectively in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and decisions must be made under uncertainty
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience delivering complex production systems - Proficiency in backend languages commonly used in platform or infrastructure contexts (such as Go, Ruby, Python, Java, or similar) - Hands-on experience with Golang, Python, or TypeScript - Background building developer tooling, internal platforms, CI/CD pipelines, or developer productivity infrastructure - Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects independently with cross-functional impact - Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams and articulate technical trade-offs clearly
Nice to have
- Experience on a Developer Experience, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure team focused on improving engineering workflows at scale - Familiarity with observability tooling, build systems, or developer environment management tools such as Bazel, Docker, or Kubernetes - Experience at a high-growth technology company with broad technical scope and rapid change - A track record of influencing engineering culture or best practices beyond an immediate team
Benefits and work setup
