Set the strategy and architecture for our local development environment, build systems, testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and AI-assisted coding workflows (Claude Code, Claude MD-in-repo workflows)
Own the CI health and experience, maintain metrics to track CI health, developer productivity, effective usage of AI and build roadmap to constantly improve
End-to-end ownership of our release pipeline and lead the transition from scheduled releases to a robust, automated continuous deployment framework
Deep experience and opinion in standardizing for effective usage of AI coding and reviewing agents for faster development, review and incident investigation
Ship a clear multi-quarter DevEx roadmap and lead cross-team adoption
Mentor and technically guide engineers within and outside of the team with best practices to improve quality and velocity; potential to grow into TLM ownership as the team grows
Partner with cross-functional teams to design and deliver improvements to dev-infra, release processes, and internal tooling
Proactively identify bottlenecks and drive large-scale DX initiatives — e.g., cutting flaky tests, improving PR iteration speed, increasing automated test coverage, and reducing infra cost
Present plans, tradeoffs, and progress to engineering leadership; serve as a thought partner for org-wide developer experience strategy
Champion experimentation and roll-out of AI-native development workflows, coding assistants, test-generation tools, and autonomous CI bots

8+ years of software engineering experience, including deep ownership of build, test, or CI/CD systems
Proven experience owning and evolving CI/CD systems for large-scale codebases, focusing on reliability, scalability, and developer productivity
Demonstrated experience defining and executing roadmaps for developer experience initiatives and internal engineering tooling
Deep understanding of how to effectively integrate AI agents into the development workflow to accelerate engineering velocity and improve developer experience
Strong background in developer productivity, distributed systems, and cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
Track record of leading complex engineering initiatives, influencing stakeholders, and delivering measurable impact
Excellent communication skills; able to translate technical constraints into clear plans for non-technical audiences
Comfortable working with: Infra & deployment technologies: Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes CI/CD systems: CircleCI, Buildkite, GitHub Actions, Helm Build systems like Poetry, pip, uv
Experience designing and operating large-scale developer workflows and improving engineering best practices
