The Senior AI Software Engineer with a passion for Developer Experience (DevEx) and a deep interest in AI-powered developer tooling. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of building systems, tools, and experiences that make software development faster, easier, and more joyful — using the latest advancements in AI.
You will work across engineering teams to identify friction points, prototype and build intelligent developer workflows, and drive the adoption of best-in-class tooling. You will have significant ownership and impact in shaping the future of how our engineers work.
Play a foundational role in defining our Developer Experience strategy.
Work with cutting-edge AI technologies in real-world production environments.
Empower talented developers by eliminating friction from their workflows.
Join a culture that values innovation, collaboration, and developer happiness.
We work with modern web technologies, including TypeScript, Go, and cloud-native architectures, to develop robust and maintainable solutions. With a strong focus on DevOps and automation, you'll contribute to CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and system reliability. If you're passionate about building cutting-edge applications in a fast-moving environment and enjoy working with event-driven architecture, domain-services, containerization, and distributed systems, we'd love to hear from you!
In this role you will:
Design, build, and maintain AI-augmented developer tools, services, and workflows.
Participate in initiatives to improve code quality, velocity, and team productivity.
Integrate AI into internal tooling (e.g., AI code review assistants, intelligent test generation, automated documentation).
Partner with engineering leadership and developers to identify and prioritize DevEx improvements.
Create tooling that integrates into CI/CD pipelines, IDEs, and development workflows.
Stay ahead of the curve on AI advancements and developer platform technologies.
Advocate for a culture of excellent developer experience across the company.
What you need to succeed:
3+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2+ years focusing on Developer Experience or developer tooling.
Deep understanding of software development workflows, CI/CD, source control (Git), testing, and automation.
Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML models into engineering processes (e.g., LLMs like OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source LLMs).
Proficiency in backend development (e.g., Python, Go, Node.js) and scripting languages.
Experience building plugins or extensions for developer tools (e.g., VS Code, GitHub Apps, CLI tools).
Strong communication skills and empathy for developer pain points.
Bias for action — you turn insights into working solutions quickly and iteratively.
Bonus Points
Experience building with AI platforms (OpenAI, Hugging Face, LangChain, etc.).
Experience working in platform engineering, productivity engineering, or DevOps.
Prior contributions to open-source developer tools.
Familiarity with observability and performance tooling.
