Responsibilities

Build Internal Developer Tools & Platforms: Design, develop, and maintain internal products that improve developer productivity and flow. You’ll build across the stack — from command-line utilities and IDE extensions to web dashboards and APIs that streamline development workflows

Integrate AI into Developer Workflows: Build and integrate AI-powered experiences that augment how engineers build, test, and deploy software

Collaborate with Engineering Teams: Partner with engineers across the company to understand friction points in their workflows. Conduct interviews, shadow developers, and gather feedback to inform priorities. You’ll balance solving immediate pain with building scalable solutions

Create and Evolve Golden Paths: Help define and promote standard, high-velocity development patterns. Maintain service templates, example apps, and internal frameworks that guide engineers toward best practices

Enhance CI/CD and Developer Workflows: Partner with DevOps and Reliability teams to improve how code moves from laptop to production. You might optimize build caching, implement smarter test runners, or integrate automated quality checks into CI

Dogfood, Measure, and Iterate: Use the tools you build. Gather both quantitative metrics (e.g., build time, deploy frequency) and qualitative feedback to assess impact and guide iteration

Contribute to Developer Documentation: Maintain clear, discoverable guides for internal tools, frameworks, and best practices — ensuring engineers can quickly get up to speed and stay unblocked

Mentor and Influence: Lead by example through thoughtful code reviews, internal talks, and knowledge sharing. Help shape the technical direction of the team and contribute to its roadmap
