Responsibilities

  • Turn deployment, provisioning, and testing infrastructure primitives into simple self-service paths for engineers.
  • Build frameworks and governance guardrails that allow teams to deploy internally built AI agents safely and control agent access and actions.
  • Define infrastructure-as-a-service primitives with engineering teams.
  • Build monitoring and alerting to identify issues early and support enterprise-grade SLAs.
  • Create opinionated abstractions, tooling, and guardrails for safe use of platform primitives.
  • Improve observability and the everyday ergonomics of developer tools.
  • Help shape a future formal on-call rotation while working with the existing platform support team.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience building developer tooling, CI/CD pipelines, or similar software.
  • Comfort using Kubernetes as a platform for building and deploying software rather than primarily administering clusters.
  • Experience building or exploring developer platform integrations such as GitHub Apps, internal CLIs, or MCP (Model Context Protocol).
  • Experience using AI tools in personal development workflows and a considered perspective on their appropriate use.
  • Strong software design and systems-thinking skills involving interfaces, boundaries, edge cases, and failure modes.
  • Ability to collaborate and document effectively across global, remote teams.
  • This is not an entry-level or new-grad role, and the position is not intended for candidates whose primary experience is systems administration, heavy Terraform ownership, or cluster administration.

Benefits

  • Hybrid work arrangement.
  • Competitive compensation and potential equity; compensation figures excluded.
  • Retirement and Employee Stock Purchase Plans.
  • Flexible paid time off.
