Staff Software Engineer, Developer Platform

Accountabilities

• • Own significant components of the Developer Platform, including monorepo CI/CD, agentic AI infrastructure, shared build systems, and related developer tooling.
  • Define and influence technical direction by evaluating architectural tradeoffs, documenting designs, and aligning multiple engineering teams around scalable target architectures.
  • Improve the speed, reliability, and developer experience of CI/CD pipelines so engineering teams can spend more time delivering software and less time troubleshooting builds.
  • Help develop next-generation change workflows that extend beyond traditional pull-request models, including automated validation, trusted agent-driven changes, AI-assisted review, and safe auto-merge capabilities.
  • Productionize agentic AI capabilities through observability, structured tracing, cost monitoring, debuggability, shared memory, and context-engineering patterns such as skills, tools, and memory.
  • Consolidate fragmented build systems and create standardized platform blueprints that enable products to onboard quickly and move reliably into production.
  • Partner with engineers across the organization to identify recurring sources of toil, automate manual processes, and anticipate developer needs before they become operational bottlenecks.
  • Develop technical architecture documents that address reliability, security, performance, scalability, and maintainability requirements.
  • Establish and improve developer productivity practices using metrics such as DORA and SPACE to measure engineering velocity and operational effectiveness.
  • Mentor engineers, raise standards for system design and code reviews, and contribute as a senior technical voice across the engineering organization.
  • Build stakeholder feedback loops and use internal engineering teams as customers to continuously improve platform capabilities and adoption.

  Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience building and operating production services and platform infrastructure in modern cloud environments.
  • Strong proficiency in Go (Golang), or demonstrated ability and willingness to ramp up quickly.
  • Deep expertise in CI/CD systems, container-based orchestration, and the tooling required to operate large monorepos across build, test, and release workflows.
  • Experience influencing technical direction across multiple engineering teams, including evaluating tradeoffs, retiring legacy systems, and establishing alignment around target architectures.
  • Familiarity with production-grade Agentic AI or LLM-based automation, with an interest in context engineering, RAG, memory, and tool-calling at engineering-platform scale.
  • Strong understanding of developer experience and engineering productivity, ideally including DORA or SPACE metrics and related instrumentation.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to partner effectively with engineers and technical stakeholders across an organization.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, highly autonomous environment where priorities evolve and ambiguity is part of the work.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a data-driven approach to improving software delivery and platform performance.
  • Experience scaling GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows, Buildkite, or comparable high-throughput build and workflow systems is highly valued.
  • Experience supporting high volumes of automated changes and developing workflows beyond traditional pull-request-based delivery models is a plus.
  • Experience operating a large Go monorepo and its associated tooling is beneficial.
  • Familiarity with software supply-chain security, OCI, Kubernetes, or open-source software ecosystems is advantageous.
  • Experience developing internal platform milestones and feedback loops with engineering teams is a plus.
  • Candidates must be based in the United States.
  • Employment sponsorship is not currently available for this position.

  Benefits

  • Base salary range of $205,000–$231,000 USD.
  • Flexible, remote-first working environment with opportunities for team meetups and biannual destination summits.
  • Monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone, and internet expenses.
  • Stock options upon hire and promotion, with opportunities to participate in secondary offerings.
  • Up to 10 years to exercise stock options.
  • 100% company-paid health, vision, and dental insurance premiums for employees and dependents.
  • Unlimited flexible time off.
  • 18 weeks of paid parental leave for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with flexible usage during the child’s first year.
  • Opportunity to work with a highly technical team focused on secure software, developer productivity, automation, and AI-enabled engineering.
  • A culture centered on customer focus, intentional action, ownership, transparency, and continuous improvement.
