Responsibilities
You shape how other engineers build
You will own the foundations that product engineers rely on every day
You’ll design and maintain the systems, tools, and primitives that determine how fast, safely, and confidently the team can ship
Your work directly influences developer workflows, reliability, and day-to-day engineering velocity
You optimize for leverage
You will prioritize work that multiplies impact across the engineering org
Instead of solving the same problem repeatedly, you’ll turn patterns into platforms and one-off fixes into systems
The goal is to make it easier for engineers to move quickly and do the right thing by default
You envision and build durable foundations
You will develop and evolve a point of view on how engineers should work, then translate that vision into code and systems
You’ll operate comfortably in messy, fast-moving environments and steadily turn them into something more solid without slowing the team down
This role expects you to balance long-term thinking with practical execution
Qualification
Required
You've built and owned foundational systems that other engineers depended on, and you've lived with the consequences of those decisions
You ramp quickly, thrive in ambiguity, and don't need problems fully specified before you start making progress
You understand the tension between ideal solutions and velocity, and know when to pursue one over the other
You instinctively look for leverage and prefer systemic fixes over one-off solutions
You have a point of view on how engineers should work, and you're opinionated about turning that into code, tooling, and defaults
You've worked closely with other engineers or teams as an enabler, not just as an implementer
Preferred
Built or owned internal platforms, developer tooling, or shared infrastructure
Worked on agentic systems, LLM platforms, or large-scale data ingestion pipelines
