TL;DR · Tools and Automations Lead, App Review

The Tools and Automations Lead, App Review joins the Worldwide Developer Relations team to design and deliver internal tooling and automation for the end-to-end App Review experience. This role functions as a bridge between operational reality and engineering capabilities, requiring the holder to identify workflow gaps and build prototypes or define requirements for production-grade infrastructure. You will develop solutions to automate manual processes, improve data consistency, and apply policies at scale. Key responsibilities include designing and deploying generative AI solutions, including LLMs, RAG, and agents. You must demonstrate proficiency in Python, modern data tooling, and Swift. The role solves the technical challenge of scaling trust and safety operations by balancing hands-on prototyping with cross-functional collaboration to build reliable systems for review specialists and developers.

What you'll do

  • Design and deliver internal tooling and automation to support the end-to-end App Review experience.
  • Build functional prototypes and scripts directly to prove value and de-risk larger technical investments.
  • Translate operational needs into clear technical requirements for platform and infrastructure engineering teams.
  • Deploy generative AI and agent-based solutions to augment review processes and reduce manual effort.
  • Determine when to build lightweight solutions personally versus routing complex systems to engineering partners.
  • Design intuitive user interfaces and workflows to ensure tools are trusted and adopted by specialists.
  • Instrument solutions to measure success and iterate based on real-world usage and outcomes.
  • Communicate technical designs and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of combined experience across software engineering, data engineering, solutions engineering, or technical product roles.
  • Demonstrated ability to take a problem from ambiguous need to working solution, including building the prototype yourself.
  • Proven track record of cross-functional collaboration with platform or infrastructure engineering teams to write requirements for partner delivery.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and modern data tooling to build standalone solutions.
  • Hands-on experience designing and deploying GenAI/agentic solutions including RAG, LLMs, and agents.
  • Strong product instincts for UI/UX, workflow design, and the human factors of tool adoption.
  • Demonstrated ability to produce clear architectural diagrams and technical documentation for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
