As a Senior Software Engineer on the Developer Platform team, you will design and build scalable architecture, tooling, and processes that enable engineers to ship enterprise-quality software with high velocity. You will provide architectural guidance, perform low-level systems optimizations, and lead large-scale rewrites using AI-assisted codemods. Your daily work involves driving adoption of AI-driven tools for IDEs and code reviews, diagnosing friction in CI pipelines, and developing new deploy and release processes featuring canaries and traffic replay. You will utilize modern CI tools including GitHub, GitLab, Buildkite, Jenkins, and Docker. The role focuses on solving internal development bottlenecks by improving testing patterns, removing legacy code friction, and building frameworks that ensure performant, reliable software across the platform layer for enterprise procurement.
