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

• Offsite team retreats
