Member of Technical Staff - Development Experience

Responsibilities

• Build, standardize, and maintain development and research environments tailored for a highly diverse team spanning software, physics, and silicon engineering.
• Architect 0-to-1 systems for personal developer knowledge extraction and cross-host persistence, laying the groundwork for highly context-aware, AI-assisted coding workflows.
• Own CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and observability across our engineering stack.
• Own core devex & platform support, ensuring high velocity and reliability without stifling research agility.
• Promote and enforce best engineering practices across multi-disciplinary pods.

Requirements

• Education: BS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience: 5+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, or Developer Experience (DevEx).
• Programming & Scripting: Strong programming proficiency in Python, coupled with advanced shell scripting (Bash, etc.) for robust automation.
• Infrastructure & Orchestration: Deep expertise in Linux/Unix environments. Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker) and container orchestration, specifically Kubernetes (K8s).
• DevOps & Cloud: Proven track record of designing and managing CI/CD pipelines and deploying to major cloud environments (OCI, AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Data Fundamentals: Solid understanding of database architectures and storage solutions to support stateful applications.
• Agentic Workflow: Experience with or strong interest in "agentic code development" (e.g., utilizing AI coding assistants, automating engineering workflows with AI).

Qualifications

• Agentic Orchestration: Familiarity with LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex) and experience building internal LLM-powered applications.
• Vector Storage: Hands-on experience with Vector Databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus) for semantic search and context retrieval.
• Infrastructure as Code: Strong experience with IaC tools, particularly Terraform.
• Observability: Deep background in setting up observability and monitoring stacks (e.g., Databricks, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
• Security: Expertise in secrets management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) and robust IAM policy design.
• Internal Tools: Prior experience in internal application development, building developer portals (e.g., Backstage), or knowledge management systems.
