Senior Systems Engineer — AI Code Metrics Daemon

Atlassian•West Valley City, UT

22d•$146,700 - $230,300•Hybrid

About The Position

We're building the observability layer for AI-assisted software development, measuring how much of an engineering org's code is actually written by AI coding agents, and attributing every line back to the work that produced it. You'll own major parts of a cross-platform endpoint agent end-to-end: architecture, implementation, and real-world deployment onto developer machines.

Requirements

Strong systems engineer — backend, OS internals, endpoint/agent software, or developer infrastructure
Comfort with concurrent, long-running, low-level software
Experience building production systems that must be fast, reliable, and invisible to the user
High-agency, high-responsibility individuals with strong product intuition (you care how developers experience what you build)
Excited about developer tools and using data to understand how engineers actually work with AI coding agents

Nice To Haves

Git internals
developer tools / dev infra
endpoint or monitoring agents (EDR, sync clients, telemetry agents)
SQLite or embedded storage
cross-platform native development

Responsibilities

Build the core systems that detect and attribute AI-generated code at the line level across real Git workflows (rebases, cherry-picks, resets, and all)
Design reliable pipelines for capturing, classifying, storing, and shipping developer + agent activity from the endpoint
Work directly with Git internals (reflog, commit identity across history rewrites, blob-level attribution) to collect data without interrupting developers
Build and maintain integrations with coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, and more) via editor/CLI hooks
Own cross-platform behavior across macOS, Linux, and Windows
