Staff Engineer - DevX

Accountabilities

• • Own the end-to-end developer experience across CI, build tooling, codebase health, deployment paths, and AI-assisted development workflows.
  • Lead initiatives designed to significantly increase engineering productivity, establishing meaningful metrics and measurement frameworks that reflect both speed and quality.
  • Stay hands-on by writing and shipping production code, making high-impact changes across multiple languages, services, and unfamiliar parts of the technology stack.
  • Identify bottlenecks in engineering workflows and implement practical solutions that reduce friction, improve delivery speed, and raise development quality.
  • Evaluate, introduce, and continuously improve agentic coding tools and AI-powered development workflows, measuring their effectiveness and adoption.
  • Build strong relationships across engineering teams, gain alignment without formal authority, and remove technical or organizational roadblocks.
  • Drive improvements to CI/CD pipelines, build systems, deployment processes, and engineering tooling.
  • Promote sustainable developer productivity practices while balancing speed, reliability, code quality, and engineering standards.
  • Instrument and analyze developer productivity signals, using imperfect data and qualitative feedback to guide informed decisions.
  • Establish reusable practices and systems that improve engineering effectiveness at scale.

  Requirements

  • Strong software engineering background with substantial production experience and a continued willingness to write and ship code.
  • Experience in platform engineering, developer experience, developer tooling, or a similar role where you have directly improved engineering productivity.
  • Demonstrated success making engineering teams measurably faster or more effective, with a clear understanding of what worked, what did not, and why.
  • Experience operating at meaningful technical or organizational scale and familiarity with the challenges that emerge as engineering teams and systems grow.
  • Strong hands-on experience with AI-assisted and agentic coding tools, including the ability to assess when to trust, modify, validate, or reject AI-generated work.
  • Strong understanding of software development workflows, CI/CD, build systems, deployment processes, and engineering productivity.
  • Ability to work effectively across multiple languages, technologies, and services rather than being limited to a single technical stack.
  • Strong influencing and communication skills, with the ability to build trust, gain buy-in, and lead initiatives without direct managerial authority.
  • Excellent judgment and a willingness to challenge assumptions, experiment, and take sensible technical risks.
  • Comfort working with ambiguity and imperfect measurement signals while maintaining a strong focus on meaningful outcomes.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and systems-thinking abilities.
  • Experience instrumenting, analyzing, or reporting on developer productivity is highly valuable.
  • Experience in a high-performance engineering environment where speed, autonomy, and continuous improvement are genuine priorities is a plus.
  • Deep CI/CD expertise, particularly experience diagnosing and accelerating slow or complex pipelines, is advantageous.
