6+ years of software engineering experience with building production platforms, developer tooling, delivery infrastructure, or distributed storage systems
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
Strong systems design skills. You think in distributed services, event-driven architectures, and APIs. You approach developer platform problems as software engineering problems, not configuration exercises
Proficiency in Go, Python, or similar languages with production experience shipping services in cloud-native environments
Deep experience with Kubernetes. You understand how workloads are packaged, scheduled, and managed at the cluster level, and can design platform services that integrate at that layer
Experience with or strong technical interest in LLM-integrated developer tooling, such as agent frameworks, MCP-style tools, or AI-assisted developer workflows
Proven track record of setting technical direction, making sound architectural trade-offs, and driving engineering decisions that hold up as systems and teams scale
Effective cross-functional collaborator. You can align stakeholders, influence without authority, and translate complex technical trade-offs for technical and non-technical audiences alike
Experience mentoring engineers and consistently raising the technical quality bar of the teams you work on
Experience designing platform APIs, SDKs, or developer tools that were adopted broadly across an engineering organization
Experience building or extending CI and Build infrastructure at scale, including GitHub Actions, Buildkite, Bazel, or similar build systems
Experience designing and operating progressive delivery systems at scale, including SLO-based quality gates, automated multi-stage pipeline orchestration, and custom Kubernetes operators, across heterogeneous deployment environments
Hands-on experience with artifact management, including distributed storage, caching, versioning, or multi-region artifact distribution (e.g. JFrog Artifactory, Cloudsmith, or custom-built systems)
Direct experience building agentic systems, including MCP servers, tool-augmented LLM workflows, and incorporating these capabilities into DevEx platform features with consistent value-add
