  • Define and manage engineering workflows, including ownership models, review practices, and validation processes.
  • Develop instrumentation and reporting systems to track engineering health and failure trends.
  • Identify and implement AI-assisted and agentic workflows to accelerate development cycles.
  • Resolve high-impact technical problems through tool modifications or process changes.
  • Manage the evolution of existing build systems and automated test infrastructure.
  • Partner with specialized teams to optimize their delivery pipelines and quality gates.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Experience with Xcode and iOS Development.
  • Experience building internal or customer-facing tools that solve real problems.
  • Experience with build systems, continuous integration, or automated test infrastructure.
  • Experience building developer-facing tooling used daily by engineering teams.
  • Experience changing how engineering teams work regarding ownership models, review practices, and quality gates.
  • Experience owning delivery across teams as a technical program lead or in a role combining engineering and program ownership.
  • Fluency with current agent architecture patterns and experience adapting to their changes.
