Job description

About the role

Behind every intelligent machine is world‑class infrastructure — come help us design it. You will implement and extend core application libraries and frameworks used by other engineers across the company, and scale our developer ecosystem across layers including the build and CI infrastructure of our monorepo. You are perfect if you are an engineer motivated by tasks that make your peers more productive and are capable of working cross‑functionally to address the needs of a rapidly evolving business. At Applied Intuition, we encourage engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, closely interact with users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture.

The Developer Frameworks team plays a central role ensuring Applied's engineering talent can move quickly and confidently. Developer velocity is only becoming more critical as the company grows, and you will have the opportunity to directly impact the speed and success of the company's short‑ and long‑term goals.

At Applied Intuition, you will

• Design, build, and improve the core libraries, frameworks, and tools every engineer uses day‑to‑day
• Improve the speed and reliability of our developer infrastructure, including our Bazel build system and Buildkite CI/CD
• Collaborate with all engineering teams to enable better code quality, testability, and release processes
• Carve out your own areas of expertise and influence product decisions — starting on day one
• Establish best practices and standards to provide a well‑lit‑path for development

We’re looking for someone who has

• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent
• 2+ years of experience building high‑quality software products and tools with a focus on quality, reliability, and developer ergonomics in technically challenging domains
• The ability to own products end‑to‑end, from underlying infrastructure to engagement metrics
• Language expertise (Go, C++, Python, or TypeScript preferred), with experience creating or maintaining libraries, frameworks, and APIs
• Passion about code quality; modeling best practices in their own work and raising the quality bar across an organization
• Drive and initiative to work in a fast‑paced environment

Nice to have

• Experience working in automotive, autonomy, robotics, or related industries
• Experience with service architecture and related middleware, including gRPC, Fx (Golang), SQLAlchemy
• Experience with build, CI, and deployment technologies like Bazel, language toolchains (Go, C++, Python, TypeScript), Buildkite, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, or Ansible
• Experience deploying software on either public clouds (AWS, GCP) or on‑premise clusters
• Deep knowledge of Linux operating systems and the software ecosystems that surround them
