Job Level

About the role

  • Lead the design, build, and evolution of internal engineering tooling that improves builder flow and reduces friction across the company.
  • Define best practices and drive adoption of AI agentic coding tools through guidance, automation, and hands-on enablement.
  • Architect, develop, and operate internally facing agents that scale across teams and use cases.
  • Own and continuously improve developer workflows, including guardrails, evaluation frameworks, and guidance that enables safe and effective adoption of new tooling.
  • Own the strategy, development, and operation of our internal agent platform, setting direction and ensuring reliability and scalability.
  • Partner closely with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, Sales, and G&A to identify high-impact opportunities where AI can accelerate work and improve outcomes.
  • Establish and drive measurement and feedback loops (usage, reliability, cost, and cycle time) to quantify impact, inform prioritization, and guide iteration.
  • Create and maintain clear documentation, playbooks, and enablement materials, and proactively drive adoption of paved roads across the organization.
  • Mentor and support engineers on the team, raising the bar on technical design, execution, and use of AI-enabled tooling.
  • Participate in on-call rotation, while identifying and driving improvements that reduce operational burden and improve the internal user experience.

  • Experience architecting and scaling workflow automation or internal tools (CLI tools, services, GitHub automation, cloud automation, or similar) used across teams or the organization.
  • Strong judgment about when to standardize versus when to enable flexibility, and how to remove friction without compromising reliability, security, or long-term maintainability.
  • Comfort leading cross-functional collaboration, including partnering with non-traditional developers and translating ambiguous needs into scalable, well-adopted solutions.
  • Ability to use data and qualitative feedback together to define success metrics, prioritize effectively, and measure impact.
  • Clear written communication, including documentation that enables self-service and scales knowledge across teams.
