Qualifications

• 6+ years of software engineering, including internal tools or full-stack web applications.
• Strong full-stack skills: a backend language such as Go, Python, or TypeScript, and a modern frontend framework.
• Experience designing reusable frameworks, templates, or platforms that other engineers build on.
• Experience deploying to the cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with containers and CI/CD, and working knowledge of Kubernetes.
• Sound judgment on build, buy, and integrate decisions, and experience integrating third-party SaaS products and APIs.

• Experience with AI-assisted development or LLM-powered automation.
• Clear written communication and comfort working asynchronously on a remote team.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain a framework that makes it fast to create and deploy internal applications and services, with defaults for authentication, hosting, CI/CD, logging, observability, and alerting.
• Provide templates, documentation, and examples so teams can ship their own tools without starting from scratch.
• Set the standards for how internal apps are built, secured, and run, and make the standard path the easiest one.
• Leverage existing systems and sources of truth to build cross-connects where they don’t exist.
• Work across teams and organizations to understand where tools, processes, or systems are falling short, and turn those gaps into proposals that platform leads can prioritize.
• Scope and deliver apps and tooling to address identified gaps.
• Ship early versions quickly, learn from how people use them, and improve them over time.
• Own the tools you build through rollout, adoption, and ongoing support
