better code, faster, with minimal manual intervention. As a Senior Developer on this team,
you'll be at the intersection of software engineering and applied AI. Your mission: build the
coding agent that writes, tests, reviews, and ships our code — and use it to do your own work.
The product is the process. Everyone on the team delivers their roadmap items *through* the
agent, and improves the agent when it falls short.
What You'll Do
- Build and improve the autonomous coding loop: task understanding, code generation, test execution, self-repair, and code review.
- Design the agent's context layer — codebase semantic index, retrieval, and knowledge base so the agent knows our systems as well as we do.
- Leverage LLMs to automate repetitive engineering work and provide smart developer assistance.
- Build scalable Python services and APIs powering internal developer tooling.
- Integrate the agent with the tools we actually use — GitHub, Jira, Slack, Buildkite, Confluence, AWS — via MCP and direct APIs.
- Measure agent quality: evals, benchmarks, and regression suites for agent behavior.
- Work closely with platform and product teams to find high-impact automation opportunities.
What You Bring
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering.
- Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with LLMs (Claude, OpenAI, etc.) — prompting, tool use, and agent orchestration.
- AI-driven development workflow. You use AI coding agents as your primary implementation method — not autocomplete, but the main worker.
- Strong testing discipline — you know that a coding agent is only as good as its feedback loop.
- Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows.
- Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS) and IaC (Terraform, Helm).
- Autonomous, self-driven — can own an area end-to-end.
- A drive to use AI to transform how developers build, test, and deploy software.
Bonus Points
- Experience building internal tools or developer platforms.
- RAG and knowledge base work — embeddings, vector DBs, chunking strategies, keeping an index fresh against a moving codebase.
- Model fine-tuning / post-training (LoRA, SFT, preference tuning) and eval design.
- Observability and incident workflows (Datadog, Splunk, PagerDuty).
- Kubernetes and container orchestration.
- Contributions to open-source devtools or AI/ML projects.
Why This Role
- You build the agent, then use the agent to build the agent. Fast feedback, visible impact.
- Small team, high autonomy, direct ownership of the roadmap.
- Applied AI on a real codebase with real users — not a demo.
