Senior Staff Software Engineer, AI Developer Experience

What you'll do

• Define and drive the architecture for the enterprise AI Gateway, model routing, and automated evaluation platforms.
• Translate developer productivity bottlenecks into a 12–24 month technical roadmap and execute high-impact build initiatives.
• Architect cost models, metering systems, and adaptive routing policies to balance model accuracy with operational spend.
• Lead technical initiatives across multiple engineering teams to establish shared interfaces for CI/CD and autonomous coding.
• Identify and remediate root causes of complex architectural bottlenecks like latency, throughput, and state management.
• Evaluate emerging AI tooling and foundational models to recommend vendor-neutral, future-proof integration patterns.
• Set production standards for resilience and testing while acting as a lead resolver for high-severity incidents.
• Coach and develop Senior and Staff engineers to cultivate a culture of craft and ownership.
