Software Engineer, Developer Experience (Full-Stack)
About The Position
Superhuman is seeking a full-stack Software Engineer to join their Developer Experience team. This role focuses on building the next generation of engineering velocity within Superhuman Docs. The ideal candidate will be passionate about making other engineers faster and happier, possess strong communication and product sense, and be comfortable working across a broad and fast-moving technology stack. This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role on a foundational team. The engineer will act as an embedded partner and spokesperson within Superhuman Docs, bringing central engineering platform work to life, solving problems autonomously, and relaying the team's needs back to the platform organization. Much of the work is greenfield, involving the creation of new tools, workflows, and practices in close partnership with the platform team and embedded with the engineers they serve. The impact is direct and measurable, with improvements to the Docs codebase compounding immediately. The role involves working across a hybrid monolith and microservices codebase with a high volume of releases, where communication is a key aspect of the job.
Requirements
- A minimum of 5 years of experience in software engineering, with meaningful full-stack exposure across both front-end and back-end development.
- Comfortable in more than one programming language and picks up new ones quickly—we care far more that you know at least two languages well (e.g., Go, Python, Java, TypeScript) than about any specific one.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems, build tooling, and developer workflow automation.
- Experience with large-scale build systems such as Bazel—or a very similar system used at large engineering organizations
- Comfortable with cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerized workflows such as Kubernetes.
- Comfortable working across hybrid architectures that mix a monolith with microservices, and with high-volume, complex release processes.
- Strong empathy and communication skills—this role is half conversation, acting as a spokesperson and trusted partner to both engineers and business-unit leaders.
- Genuinely motivated by improving how other engineers work, rather than by shipping product features—and enjoys continuously learning across a broad and evolving technology stack.
- Embodies our EAGER values—is ethical, adaptable, gritty, empathetic, and remarkable.
- Inspired by our MOVE principles, which are the blueprint for how things get done at Grammarly: move fast and learn faster, obsess about creating customer value, value impact over activity, and embrace healthy disagreement rooted in trust.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the embedded Developer Experience partner and spokesperson for the Docs business unit—implementing what the central platform team builds within the BU’s context, resolving issues autonomously where you can, and aligning with the central team where you can’t.
- Bridge the gap between engineers and business-unit leads, turning day-to-day developer friction and leadership priorities into a clear, prioritized DevX roadmap.
- Build full-stack internal tooling and self-service platforms—front-end interfaces and back-end services alike—tailored to how the Docs team actually works.
- Improve the release process and own and enhance CI/CD pipelines and deployment tooling so that shipping code is a safe, fast, and boring event, even at a high release cadence.
- Streamline the inner loop of local development across a hybrid monolith-and-microservices codebase: fast local environments, quick feedback, and reliable, low-flake test suites.
- Work hands-on with build systems (such as Bazel or equivalents) and containerized, cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes) to make builds and pipelines faster and more reliable.
- Create and maintain codebase-specific golden paths, templates, and documentation that make the right way to build the easy way to build.
- Define and track both org-wide developer-productivity metrics and Docs-specific metrics—and use data to validate the impact of every change you ship.
Benefits
- Excellent health care (including a wide range of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and fertility benefits)
- Disability and life insurance options
- 401(k) and RRSP matching
- Paid parental leave
- 20 days of paid time off per year
- 12 days of paid holidays per year
- Two floating holidays per year
- Flexible sick time
- Generous stipends (including those for caregiving, pet care, wellness, your home office, and more)
- Annual professional development budget and opportunities
