Lead, AI-Driven Developer Tools

Job title: Lead, AI-Driven Developer Tools

About the Role Build a shared vision with the DevEx and Core Engineering leadership for AI-driven developer tooling, prototyping agents and workflows, while serving as a subject-matter leader for internal R&D efficiency. Collaborate with Product and R&D to own AI tools from conception to post-deployment that automate and optimize engineers' daily work. Work in a CI/CD environment, leveraging LLMs and agentic frameworks to redefine the developer experience and drive AI-powered improvements across the internal platform.

What You'll Do

• Build a shared vision with the DevEx and Core Engineering leadership for AI-driven developer tooling, including prototyping agents and workflows, and serve as a subject-matter expert for internal R&D efficiency.
• Work with Product and R&D stakeholders, taking full responsibility and ownership from conception to post-deployment of AI tools that automate and optimize the daily lives of our engineers.
• Work with a team of experienced developers in a CI/CD environment, leveraging LLMs and agentic frameworks to redefine the developer experience.
• Spearhead the development of new internal features and AI agents—from automated code reviews to intelligent debugging tools—and take ownership of the entire development lifecycle.
• Contribute to the overall technical strategy and roadmap of our internal platform, driving initiatives that leverage AI to improve developer velocity, code quality, and system reliability.
• Promote a culture of innovation and ongoing growth, inspiring the team to explore how emerging AI technologies can solve complex engineering bottlenecks.
• Continuously monitor and analyze developer feedback and internal productivity metrics to identify areas for optimization and tool refinement.

What We're Looking For

• Strong proven technical skills and a passion for developing tools that engineers love, developing AI-integrated features end-to-end (client and server).
• 7+ years of experience building complex web applications and scalable backend systems.
• Technical leadership experience (Architect, Tech Lead, or similar) with a focus on platform engineering or developer productivity.
• Ability to collaborate with teammates and R&D leads across the organization to brainstorm, set productivity targets, and devise AI-driven solutions.
• Great Developer Sense, a passion for building internal software that provides a seamless, frictionless experience for fellow engineers.
• Focus on quality and simplicity in architecting tools that solve high-friction problems without adding complexity.
• A growth mindset, including strong analytical, inquisitive, and data-driven experiences with LLMs and automation.
• Team player, strong communication skills, and empathetic toward the challenges faced by modern engineering teams.
• Degree in Computer Science (not a must; we're always looking for super talented people).
