📋 Description

• 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 the team to consolidate fragmented build systems and deliver standardized “paved road” blueprints so new products can onboard and ship to production quickly. • Partner with engineers across the company to identify toil, codify patterns, and automate repetitive manual work. • Participate in design and code reviews, and contribute your technical voice to engineering velocity and operational excellence.

🎯 Requirements

• 4+ years of experience building and operating production services and platform infrastructure in modern cloud environments. • Proficiency with Go (Golang), or strong readiness to ramp quickly. • Experience with CI/CD systems, container-based orchestration, and the tooling required to scale a large monorepo across build, test, and release. • 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.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs. • Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!). • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck. • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset. • 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
