In this role, you will lead the effort to design and build our next-generation software development ecosystem, pioneering the future of delivery by weaving practical AI capabilities directly into our development lifecycle. You will focus on creating internal tooling, automations, and self-service capabilities that empower global product teams to accelerate delivery and reduce operational friction. As a Staff Engineer, you will balance deep hands-on execution with cross-functional leadership, partnering closely with infrastructure and engineering teams to build highly automated, intelligent, and scalable workflows across the organization.   Role and Responsibilities: Build AI-Assisted Tooling: Architect, scale, and embed advanced AI-driven tools into daily workflows, including Contextual Engineering Assistants, automated code review agents, and intelligent incident response systems. Drive SDLC Automation: Build intelligent tooling across the SDLC to streamline code reviews, operational support, CI/CD pipelines, and developer self-service functions. Integrate Advanced Frameworks: Pragmatically orchestrate software patterns using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), LLM tooling integrations, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem across GitLab, GitHub, and Slack (ChatOps). Technical Leadership: Establish tooling engineering standards, champion robust Kubernetes runtime architectures, and act as a force multiplier by mentoring engineers across teams.   Requirements: Practical AI Experience (Required): Proven track record of successfully implementing, shipping, and scaling production-grade applications leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and AI agentic frameworks (e.g., MCP). This includes hands-on experience establishing evaluation, testing, and observability guardrails using modern LLM tooling (such as LangSmith, Phoenix, Braintrust, Langfuse, or Arize). Core Engineering Foundation: 10+ years of professional software engineering experience building distributed, cloud-native backend systems. Production proficiency in at least one backend language (Go, Java/Kotlin, or TypeScript/Node.js) alongside strong tooling capabilities (Python). Cloud & Automation Mastery: Deep understanding of software architecture, event-driven design, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and managing systems natively on Kubernetes. Developer Experience Application (Strong Plus): Direct experience or strong familiarity with Developer Experience (DevEx) design patterns, internal developer portals, or workflow orchestration engines (e.g., Temporal) is highly preferred. Systems Thinking & Influence: Demonstrated ability to simplify complex engineering processes, influence technical strategy across diverse teams, and successfully roll out enterprise-wide internal tooling.
