Staff Software Engineer, Developer Experience

10+ years of software engineering experience with significant time spent building and owning production developer platforms, build infrastructure, or large-scale distributed systems.

Demonstrated ability to define and execute multi-year technical strategies across complex, cross-team domains.

Deep systems design expertise. You design for correctness, scalability, and long-term maintainability. You have strong opinions on API design, service architecture, and platform abstractions, and you can articulate why.

Proficiency in Go, Python, or similar languages with a track record of shipping large-scale production services in cloud-native environments.

Expertise in Kubernetes and IaaC (Infrastructure as Code) at the platform design level. You understand the scheduler, the API machinery, and the extension points.

Experience with or strong leadership interest in AI-native developer tooling, including agentic frameworks, LLM-integrated developer workflows, or autonomous software development agents.

Proven ability to influence technical decisions at the organization level, build alignment across teams with competing priorities, and communicate clearly with engineering leadership.

A track record of growing senior engineers and building technical strength in the teams around you. You are an inspiring leader.

Deep expertise in one or more DevEx domains, including large-scale CI, build and test systems (Bazel, Buildkite, remote execution, caching), deployment (GitOps, ArgoCD), artifact storage and distribution, or ephemeral development environment infrastructure.

Hands-on experience designing and operating progressive delivery systems at scale, including SLO-based quality gates, automated multi-stage pipeline orchestration, and custom Kubernetes operators, across heterogeneous deployment environments.

Experience architecting and landing agentic systems at scale, including designing MCP servers, agent governance models, or tool-augmented LLM workflows that operate reliably in production with consistent user-facing value-add.

Prior experience as a technical lead or system architect on a platform or infrastructure team with broad engineering org impact.
