Job Level

About the role

  • Define and build Vida's organizational approach to AI-augmented engineering—turning individual tool usage into a shared, scalable capability.
  • Build the institutional knowledge systems that make Vida's architecture, domain context and golden path patterns accessible to both engineers and AI tools.
  • Establish technical controls and governance for AI tool usage: approved tools, PHI-safe workflows, prompt guardrails and vendor evaluation processes.
  • Own CI/CD reliability and velocity—targeting sub-5-minute median CI with automated preview environments, flake reduction and smart test selection.
  • Build paved-road developer workflows: one-command local setup, service templates, repo standards and golden path generators.
  • Own core GCP platform systems—compute, networking primitives, deployment automation and infrastructure as code.
  • Define and track the metrics that show whether enablement is working: PR cycle time, CI duration, change failure rate, time-to-first-PR for new engineers.
  • Hire and grow a team of 1–2 engineers as impact proves out.

Requirements

  • Bachelors Degree at a minimum.
  • 8+ years in engineering productivity, developer tooling, platform engineering or a related area—you've built things that made engineering teams measurably faster.
  • Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar)—you understand what they're good at, where they fail and how to make them better at the org level.
  • Working knowledge of LLMs: context windows, prompting strategies and retrieval-augmented generation—you know how to structure information so AI tools use it effectively.
  • Strong Python; comfortable with CI/CD systems, infrastructure-as-code tooling and cloud infrastructure on GCP.
  • Experience in a regulated or security-heavy environment—you know how to ship with real constraints, not around them.
  • You build internal platforms engineers actually adopt—because you pair tooling with standards, training and feedback loops.
