Fin wins by shipping quickly with confidence. Shipping is our heartbeat.
Builder Tools (Developer Experience Platform) is the team that makes shipping delightful: fast, reliable, and low-toil for hundreds of engineers. We own CI/CD, developer and AI workflows, build and test infrastructure, feature flagging, and observability for shipping pipelines. We’re the platform team that prevents duplicated work across engineering.
You will lead and grow a team that builds the systems and tooling enabling Fin to move fast and safely. With AI dramatically accelerating our delivery needs, this role is more critical than ever.
