We’re hiring engineers focused on AI Engineering Practices to help our teams harness AI to accelerate development velocity, code quality, and developer experience. These roles combine platform-level improvements with hands-on development: partnering with our DevOps team to evolve our developer platform, while also joining tiger teams with product engineers to apply AI-assisted development in refactoring and modernizing our codebase. As a Staff Engineer in AI Engineering Practices, you’ll lead critical initiatives across squads, contribute directly to our systems, and help define standards and patterns for AI-enabled development. Your impact will extend beyond your immediate squad — raising the technical bar across groups and the broader organization through mentorship, architectural influence, and scalable adoption of AI practices.

Lead cross-squad initiatives to improve developer experience and system reliability through AI-powered practices.
Partner with DevOps to enhance the developer platform with AI-enabled capabilities in CI/CD, testing, observability, and workflows.
Participate in tiger teams with product engineers to rebuild, refactor, and modernize critical parts of our codebase using AI-assisted development.
Demonstrate and scale effective AI-driven coding, testing, and documentation practices through hands-on contributions.
Identify repeatable AI adoption patterns and translate them into frameworks, standards, and tooling for org-wide use.
Influence architecture and system design by integrating AI in ways that support scalability, maintainability, and operational excellence.
Mentor engineers at multiple levels, fostering professional growth and sustained adoption of AI engineering practices.
Partner with product and engineering leadership to align AI adoption strategy with business priorities.

8-10 years of professional software engineering experience, including technical leadership across squads or groups.
Strong hands-on coding skills and experience delivering production systems across complex codebases.
Familiarity with modern AI/ML tools and APIs (LLMs, code assistants, AI testing tools, etc.), and the ability to evaluate and apply them pragmatically.
Expertise in one or more of the following: backend technologies (Node.js, Kotlin), frontend technologies (React, TypeScript, Next.js), or mobile (React Native).
Deep experience with CI/CD workflows, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes), and developer platform tooling.
Proven ability to set and elevate standards for system design, code quality, and operational excellence.
Strong collaboration and communication skills; able to build alignment across diverse squads and functions.
A humble, curious, and pragmatic approach to adopting new technologies responsibly and sustainably.

Drive architectural clarity and developer experience improvements across multiple squads.
Champion responsible, scalable use of AI to improve quality and velocity.
Balance bold innovation with practical decision-making for long-term impact.
Coach and mentor others, helping them grow technically and professionally while raising the org-wide bar.
Value collaboration, humility, and continuous learning as much as technical excellence.
Take ownership of systemic challenges and deliver solutions that scale across the organization.

Competitive salary & equity compensation for full-time roles
Unlimited PTO, company holidays, and quarterly mental health days
Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental & vision, and parental leave
Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP)
401k benefits with employer matching contribution
