Responsibilities

  • Own the technical strategy and roadmap for the assigned area and ensure its hardest problems are solved.
  • Design, build, and operate tools that help platform teams ship code faster.
  • Define and enforce standards for trusting code changes, including changes written by Claude, before and after merge.
  • Build agents that diagnose failures, fix broken tests, and run migrations.
  • Embed with partner teams to identify friction, validate solutions, and turn successful fixes into adoptable internal products.
  • Measure developer experience and adoption and use the data to prioritize future work.
  • Improve shared systems while shifting between new-tool development and existing-system enhancements.

  • Preferred: startup or small-team experience, including taking products from zero to one and working directly with users.
  • Preferred: substantial experience with agents performing engineering or other technical work.
  • Preferred: experience building widely adopted CLI tools, developer-facing services, GitHub automation, or open-source developer tools.
  • Preferred: depth in progressive delivery, observability, VM orchestration, sandboxed execution, or workflow orchestration.
  • Preferred: experience working in a large monorepo, enough full-stack ability to create usable interfaces, and a perspective on how software engineering changes as agents write more code.

Benefits

  • Annual base salary range of $405,000–$485,000 USD.
  • Hybrid policy requiring staff to be in an office at least 25% of the time, with preference for candidates in New York, Seattle, San Francisco, or the Bay Area.
