Senior Software Engineer, Developer Platform & AI Tooling
About The Position
The Senior Software Engineer will work with the developer platform team on initiatives that improve developer experience and delivery speed, from design through rollout, enablement, and measurement. The role includes understanding how the platform roadmap supports broader business goals, contributing feedback, and identifying opportunities to simplify product and technical design. The engineer will build AI-powered developer tooling, including agentic coding and review workflows, policy- and guardrail-aware assistants, and prompt libraries, instructions, and service manuals. They will also help evolve the CI/CD platform to improve speed, observability, and ease of adoption; strengthen Kubernetes reliability and security; and create paved paths and golden templates such as self-service software templates, CLI and automation enhancements, bootstrap flows, documentation, and runbooks. The role involves pairing with teammates on complex changes, promoting high-quality code reviews, sharing practices, and communicating realistic commitments, blockers, delays, and scope changes. The company is remote and based in Austin, Texas.
