Developer productivity engineer focusing on AI tools and coding agents to enhance internal software development.

Обязанности

We are hiring a developer productivity engineer to advance how we build software internally: safely, quickly, and with delight. The main focus are AI tools and coding agents. You’ll partner with platform, security, and product engineers to build state-of-the-art tooling for AI-assisted software development, and make our inner loop dramatically faster. 
The scope of this role includes both setting up company-wide platforms and working with developers to accelerate their individual workflows. 
Note: This is an "evergreen role" that we keep open on an on-going basis to express interest. We receive many applications, and there may not always be an immediate role that aligns perfectly with your experience and skills. Still, we encourage you to apply. We continuously review applications and reach out to applicants as new opportunities open. You are welcome to reapply if you get more experience, but please avoid applying more than once every 6 months. You may also find that we put up postings for singular roles for separate, project or team specific needs. In those cases, you're welcome to apply directly in addition to an evergreen role.

Требования

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent industry experience in computer science, engineering, or similar.
Experience developing productivity tools and best practices for large codebases.
Ability to communicate clearly and work with researchers to build and manage a variety of internal tools.
Preferred qualifications — we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all preferred qualifications, but at least some :
Hands-on experience with container platforms (e.g. Docker/Kubernetes), modern CI (GitHub Actions/Buildkite), and package management tools (uv).
Practical experience with AI coding tools and model APIs (e.g. OSS via vLLM / SGLang / TGI).
Solid Linux/networking fundamentals; comfort with secrets management and safe egress.
Proficiency in systems programming languages (e.g. Rust) and scripting languages (e.g. Python).
