Responsibilities

  • Ship features across Mirage’s video creation software, video rendering engine, and developer platform while identifying developer workflow friction.
  • Build tools, agents, and workflows that improve engineering productivity and make the fastest path to production easy to follow.
  • Rebuild CI/CD with incremental builds, test selection, flaky-test detection and quarantine, merge queues, and preview environments.
  • Implement progressive rollouts, automated canary analysis, feature flags, and automatic rollback for safer deployments.
  • Own sandboxes, ephemeral stacks, and tooling that coding agents use to build, test, and verify their work.
  • Create AI-assisted code review with agent reviewers, risk-based human routing, and automated policy checks.
  • Run continuous agent-driven penetration testing and turn findings into pull requests with proposed fixes.
  • Integrate secrets, dependency, and supply-chain scanning, vulnerability triage, and automatically generated remediation pull requests.
  • Secure agents’ access to code, infrastructure, and data using least-privilege permissions, short-lived credentials, sandboxing, audit logs, and prompt-injection guardrails.
  • Measure and improve the development lifecycle, including PR-to-production time, credential longevity, and flaky-test rates.

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of professional experience building backend or full-stack software and shipping high-impact products or systems end to end.
  • Strong product sense and experience building products or systems that users value.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, or security, with willingness to develop deeper specialization.
  • Extensive current use of coding agents and informed opinions about their limitations.
  • Strong security instincts and the ability to consider how systems could be attacked during development.
  • A practical, measurement-driven approach to solving problems and shipping effective solutions quickly.
  • Comfort owning build, deployment, review, and security across layers and defining a roadmap without an existing playbook.
  • Interest in staying close to product development and shipping to production weekly.
  • Experience with internal developer platforms or productivity tooling, offensive security, production LLM agents or evaluations, merge queues, monorepo tooling, or test-impact analysis is preferred.
  • Startup founder or early-engineer experience is preferred.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.
  • 401(k) with employer match.
  • Commuter benefits.
  • Catered lunch multiple days per week.
  • Dinner stipend every night when working late.
