Senior Engineer, AI Developer Tools

Role Overview

• Drive AI-Powered Refactoring of Monolithic Platform Components: Spearhead initiatives to break up legacy systems, streamline architecture, and reduce production incidents, accelerating modernization across Tealium’s platform.
• Design and Implement AI-Enhanced Code Review and Test Automation: Develop automated unit tests, improve test coverage, and eliminate manual QA bottlenecks, to enable faster, higher-quality releases.
• Lead Measurement and Adoption of AI Tools: Establish AI scorecards, adoption KPIs, and metrics to track reductions in time-to-market, engineering efficiency improvements, and code quality gains (e.g., tickets closed per release, bug rates, code review cycle times), providing actionable insights to R&D leadership.
• Evaluate and integrate best-in-class AI technologies, from code generation to test automation, to create a seamless and efficient engineering experience.
• Establish and scale repeatable AI-assisted development workflows, standards, and reusable patterns across the R&D organization, with a focus on reducing bottlenecks and improving delivery speed and quality.
• Serve as a technical authority and thought leader across the engineering org, promoting best practices and influencing decisions at all levels with a strong sense of ownership.
• Drive large-scale modernization initiatives, partnering with other senior engineers to ensure adoption, scalability, and measurable impact.
• Stay current with emerging AI and developer productivity trends, continuously pushing the boundaries of what’s possible within our platform.
• Articulate technical vision and strategic decisions to senior stakeholders and leadership across engineering, serving as the connective tissue for cross-functional initiatives.
• Drive multi-week implementations of AI-powered developer tools, ensuring successful delivery and integration.

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years leading large-scale internal tooling, platform engineering, or modernization efforts.
• Proven success designing and delivering AI-powered developer tools—beyond experimentation—with real-world measurable impact on team velocity and quality.
• Deep understanding of modern software development practices, languages, and environments (e.g., Java, TypeScript, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure).
• Experience using strategic thinking to drive solutions for complex, undefined problems within enterprise-scale engineering organizations, directly enabling large-scale AI strategies.
• Strong architecture and system design skills, with the ability to make build-vs-buy decisions and scale tooling across orgs.
• Demonstrated ability to influence with authority, collaborate across disciplines, and lead by example in a senior or principal engineering capacity.
• Exceptional cross-functional communication skills, including the ability to clearly present complex technical concepts and translate engineering efforts into business value for senior management and non-technical partners.
• A passion for improving the developer experience and a practical mindset toward applying AI to solve real engineering problems.
• Experience evaluating AI tools and models across critical dimensions, including quality, cost, latency, security, and workflow fit.
• Familiarity with tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, AWS Q, or other generative AI platforms—ideally with experience leading their adoption at scale.
• Experience applying AI/automation to software development workflows (such as code review, test generation, migration acceleration, developer assistance, or release automation) with measurable improvements in speed, quality, or reliability.
