A strong bias toward action, curiosity, and focus on impact
Experience leading teams focused on developer productivity, DevEx, internal platforms, or engineering tooling
Track record of driving adoption of new workflows and platforms across an engineering organization
Ability to operate across boundaries and influence without direct ownership; comfort acting as an internal forward-deployed partner
Strong coaching and feedback skills, creating an environment where engineers can grow and ship high-quality systems
Experience evaluating and deploying AI coding tools, developer assistants, and/or LLM-based workflows and agents
Intuition for when to adopt vs. build, and how to standardize without blocking innovation
Strong software engineering background (backend, platform, or developer tools)
Familiarity with modern developer workflows and the systems that support them
Ability to engage deeply in technical discussions around system design, safety guardrails, operational readiness, and tradeoffs
Ability to translate ambiguous needs into clear guidance and systems
Strong empathy for builders and their workflows (including non-traditional developers)
Experience prioritizing and communicating based on measurable impact, not just qualitative feedback
Experience building measurement systems for tooling outcomes (adoption, reliability, cycle time, cost-to-serve, AI spend)
What the job involves

You will balance speed with reliability: removing invisible barriers that break flow, building paved paths, and prioritizing measurable business impact
Set direction for AI-assisted development, end-to-end: Define the engineering-wide approach for safe, effective AI-assisted workflows (tooling standards, rollout strategy, and adoption)
Build frictionless paved paths: Identify and remove sources of friction in developer workflows; deliver a small set of deeply reliable, well-supported paved roads rather than many bespoke bypasses
Internal AI platform strategy (build vs. buy): Own strategy and execution for internal agent runtimes and developer-facing AI systems (authoring, review, and automation workflows), including vendor evaluation and integrations
Governance, cost, and measurement: Drive governance and cost management for AI tooling (usage measurement, guardrails, optimization) using clear metrics and frameworks (e.g., DORA/SPACE) to translate improvements into business outcomes
Remote-First Workforce: We embrace a remote-first culture with flexible schedules, allowing you to balance work and life on your terms. Work from your home office or one of 150+ WeWork locations worldwide. If there’s no WeWork near you, we cover alternative co-working spaces. Plus, our Travel to Coworking stipend supports your commute with coverage for public transport, ride-sharing, or parking expenses.
Flexible Time Off: Employee wellness is key to our success. We encourage you to take the time you need to maintain balance and stay refreshed — whether it's for recovery, vacation, or personal time. In addition to unlimited flexible time off, we offer 12 paid holidays and 2 floating holidays (US).
Medical, Dental & Vision: We provide comprehensive healthcare benefits from day one, covering 100% of premiums for you and your family. You can choose between a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) or a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan, with dental (including orthodontics) and full vision coverage. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are available, with employer contributions to HSA plans.
401(k) Retirement Plan: Planning for your future is important, and our 401(k) plan helps you build a secure financial foundation. With a range of investment options and the flexibility to contribute pre-tax or after-tax income, we make saving simple.
Disability & Life Insurance Coverage: Our disability and life insurance ensure financial security for you and your loved ones during life’s uncertainties, from illness to injury or unexpected loss. Coverage begins on day one, with 100% of premiums covered for peace of mind.
Paid Parental Leave: We support your family at every stage. Birth parents receive up to 20 weeks of fully paid leave, and non-birth parents up to 12 weeks. We also offer comprehensive support throughout your fertility planning journey.
Remote Office Perks: While we provide you with the basics, enjoy a home office stipend to build up your workspace ($1,000/year), an internet stipend to ensure connectivity ($74/month), and reimbursements for work-from-home meals ($300/month).
Health & Wellness Perks: Take advantage of a lifestyle spending account ($1,200/year), free access to the Calm app, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) offering personalized support, therapy, and other resources.
Learning & Development Perks: Invest in your growth with a learning and development stipend ($1,500/year) for courses and certifications, and a professional membership stipend ($500/year) to deepen your industry involvement.
