About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the highest-leverage developer-experience problems across engineering end to end, deciding which bottleneck is worth solving, designing the approach, and driving org-wide adoption.
Set and evolve engineering-wide standards for how teams build, test, and ship, and do the alignment work to make them stick as the org grows.
Making our large codebase fast to work in: build systems and monorepo tooling, CI/CD pipeline performance, test reliability and framework strategy
Set the golden paths for how engineers work with AI, find the highest-leverage places to push it deeper into the development loop, and keep Grow at the front of a fast-moving space.
Drive the technical strategy for breaking up the monolith, from the incremental migration path to the test-isolation and build tooling that makes it possible at scale.
Embedding with product teams to understand their workflows firsthand, and treating their feedback as product input
Raising the bar for the engineers around you through design review, mentorship, and the quality of your own shipped work

Requirements

What you’ll need

You have deep developer experience, developer productivity, or platform engineering experience where internal engineers were your customer, or you built developer tools as the product at a developer-tools company
You have owned problems that only exist at scale: monorepo tooling, build systems (Bazel or similar), CI performance for large test suites, or test framework migrations, and you can speak to the before-and-after outcomes
You think about developer tools with a product mindset, defining what success looks like up front and measuring adoption and developer satisfaction to know you've delivered it.
You think about developer tools with a product mindset, measuring adoption and developer satisfaction rather than shipping and hoping
You are genuinely excited about AI development tooling and have opinions grounded in things you have built
Bonus: Python ecosystem depth, GitHub Actions at scale, or prior experience driving standards across a 100+ engineer organization
Bonus: you've built developer-facing AI tooling - coding agents, AI code review, LLM developer workflows, MCP - and have a grounded view of where it does and doesn't help.
