About The Position

Greenlight is looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Developer Experience to join our Developer Experience (DevEx) team, a team dedicated to ensuring every engineer has the right tools, processes, and environment to do their best work. This role blends hands-on developer tooling engineering with performance and reliability expertise, and carries a forward-looking mission: leverage AI to transform how we build and operate our developer infrastructure. You will own tooling that spans the full developer lifecycle, from local development environments and CI/CD pipelines to performance testing frameworks and AI-powered automation. Your work will directly reduce friction for engineering teams, accelerate delivery, and ensure that every release meets Greenlight’s high bar for performance and reliability.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain reusable developer tooling (CLI tools, NPM and Kotlin libraries) shared across all engineering teams
• Enable a consistent and friction-free local development experience for engineers

• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the developer workflow through proactive engagement with engineering teams
• Contribute to and enforce standards for code reusability and maintainability across packages and libraries
• Integrate AI tooling (LLMs, agentic workflows, code generation) into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows to accelerate delivery
• Build AI-assisted automation for test generation, code review, and performance anomaly detection
• Evaluate and adopt emerging AI developer tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, custom agents) and drive their adoption across engineering
• Design intelligent observability solutions using AI to surface actionable signals from Datadog and other monitoring platforms
• Partner with cross-functional teams to embed AI capabilities into the full software delivery lifecycle
• Partner with architects, developers, and QA teams to design and execute a comprehensive performance testing strategy
• Validate performance, stability, scalability, and reliability across web and mobile product surfaces
• Build and maintain a scalable performance testing environment supporting both functional and load scenarios
• Perform root-cause analysis on performance bottlenecks and provide clear recommendations
• Coordinate performance testing across internal teams and external resources, ensuring complete test coverage for each release
• Communicate testing status and performance insights to engineering leadership, translating data into actionable recommendations
