Staff Software Engineer - AI DevEx

Responsibilities

• Define the technical direction for Developer Intelligence systems across the SDLC, including engineering telemetry, observability, and AI-assisted developer tooling.
• Identify systemic engineering inefficiencies by analyzing developer workflows, operational signals, and SDLC feedback loops, then translate those findings into scalable platform capabilities.
• Architect systems that collect, correlate, and operationalize data from CI/CD pipelines, source control, testing infrastructure, production systems, and developer workflows.
• Build AI-assisted capabilities across the SDLC, including code generation, code review, software validation, production troubleshooting, and workflow automation.
• Lead large cross-functional initiatives by aligning teams, driving architectural direction, and decomposing ambiguous problems into scalable execution plans.
• Identify and eliminate systemic bottlenecks impacting engineering velocity, reliability, operational efficiency, and developer experience.
• Mentor engineers, raise technical standards, and contribute to a strong engineering culture through design leadership and high-quality code review practices.

Requirements

• BS or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of professional software development experience, with a proven track record of leading large-scale technical initiatives.
• Strong experience designing, scaling, or operating data pipelines, telemetry systems, large-scale observability infrastructure, or developer metrics frameworks (e.g., tracking DORA or SPACE metrics).
• Hands-on professional experience integrating AI tools & capabilities into software engineering, automated workflows, or system triaging tools.
• Experience designing and operating platform systems on major cloud infrastructures (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Experience modernizing legacy systems, consolidating fragmented tooling, and driving platform standardization across multiple engineering teams.
• Strong track record of technical leadership, organizational influence, and cross-functional execution.
• Proficiency in Go and professional experience in one or more of the following: Java, Python, or TypeScript.

Qualifications

• Deep familiarity with core SDLC infrastructure - including practical experience with or exposure to build systems, local development environments, testing infrastructure, or CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience driving platform adoption or data consolidation across an engineering organization of 1,000+ developers.
• A strong track record of building tools for developers - intimately understanding internal customer pain points and translating feedback into reliable platform capabilities.
