Staff Software Engineer, Developer Experience — Moveworks
About The Position
The Developer Experience team at Moveworks operates with a vertical mandate to build products and platforms that serve developers within Moveworks customer environments who are building on top of the Moveworks Agentic AI platform. The team's goal is to increase the number of developers enabled, the speed at which they ship integrations, and the quality of skills or workflows they publish, thereby compounding value for end-users. They achieve this by building scalable, general-purpose developer infrastructure and then developing products on top of it. The team functions at the intersection of platform engineering discipline and developer-facing product thinking. As a Staff Engineer, you will be the technical foundation, owning complex platform problems related to generality, scalability, and extensibility, while prioritizing developer experience. You will think in systems, considering the right abstractions, future support needs, and building dependable solutions for developers in customer environments. You will be responsible for designing and building core developer platforms (SDKs, APIs, runtime abstractions, tooling infrastructure, developer-facing services), owning end-to-end delivery of agentic developer products to boost productivity, defining platform primitives with a focus on generality, reliability, and clean abstractions, and driving improvements in developer supply metrics. You will also lead technical strategy, set engineering standards, and mentor senior engineers, acting as a multiplier of developer capability by raising the abstraction level of all work.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience designing, building, and operating production systems; significant experience on platform or infrastructure teams
- Proven ability to build general-purpose, developer-facing platforms — SDKs, APIs, developer tooling, or integration frameworks — at scale
- Strong distributed systems fundamentals: service reliability, API design, performance, fault tolerance, and operational observability
- Backend engineering depth in Python and/or Go (or equivalent); fluent in microservices and cloud-native patterns
- Experience building platforms that other engineers build on top of — you understand what makes an abstraction good vs. leaky
- Product sensibility for developer experience: you can feel the difference between a platform that delights and one that frustrates, and you close that gap
Nice To Haves
- Experience building agentic systems, LLM-powered developer tooling, or AI-assisted development products
- Familiarity with developer ecosystem growth — activation funnels, SDK adoption, developer community feedback loops
- Exposure to enterprise developer environments and the constraints they impose (auth, sandboxing, compliance, multi-tenancy)
Responsibilities
- Design and build the core developer platforms that power the MW developer ecosystem — SDKs, APIs, runtime abstractions, tooling infrastructure, and developer-facing services
- Own end-to-end delivery of agentic developer products that increase developer productivity: faster time-to-market, higher-quality artifacts, lower integration friction
- Define the platform primitives that other products and teams build on — with a strong bias toward generality, reliability, and clean abstractions
- Drive measurable improvements in developer supply metrics: developer activation, integration velocity, quality of published artifacts, and ecosystem breadth
- Lead technical strategy for your platform areas — roadmap input, API design, and cross-team technical alignment
- Set the engineering bar: architecture reviews, design standards, observability, and operational excellence
- Mentor senior engineers and raise the team's overall technical depth
Benefits
- Base Salary Range: $166,500 - $291,400
