Nice To Haves

• Master's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field with proven experience coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 1+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.
• Experience improving developer workflows through automation and tooling (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, testing automation, developer experience tooling) and a solid understanding of reliability and quality practices.
• Proficiency with developer tools and workflows, including version control (e.g., Git) and CI/CD fundamentals.
• Dependable knowledge and practical usage of modern AI-assisted engineering tools—such as GitHub Copilot (including Copilot Chat), Visual Studio, VSCode, Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI Studio, and LLM tools—to support tasks like prototyping, debugging, test generation, documentation, and code review, paired with a strong ability to validate outputs and protect sensitive data.
• Experience building and operating developer productivity systems (e.g., CI/CD platforms, internal developer portals, automation services, or engineering workflow tools).
• Experience debugging issues across Windows and Linux in complex codebases, including dependency management and environment configuration.
• Familiarity with AI evaluation and quality practices (prompting patterns, grounding/verification, automated checks) and applying them to engineering workflows.
• Interest in developer productivity: building internal tools, improving CI signal-to-noise, and creating great documentation.

Responsibilities

• Owns and evolves engineering productivity solutions that keep developer workflows reliable, repeatable, and easy to improve over time.
• Diagnoses and resolvse complex engineering workflow issues (e.g., CI reliability, dependency and environment drift, performance regressions, and cross-platform inconsistencies).
• Creates automation that reduces toil: workflow orchestration, quality gates, dependency updates, CI hardening, and self-service tooling.
• Uses AI-assisted tools thoughtfully (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Visual Studio, VSCode) to speed up debugging, code review, documentation, and prototyping—while applying strong engineering judgment and verification.
• Collaborates with partner teams and contribute clear designs, test plans, and engineering documentation.
