TL;DR · Tools and Automations Lead, App Review

Tools and Automations Lead, App Review joins the Worldwide Developer Relations team to design and deliver internal tooling that supports the end-to-end App Review experience. This role functions as a bridge between operational reality and engineering capabilities, where you will identify gaps in workflows for review specialists and developers. You will build prototypes, write scripts, and develop Swift applications while defining technical requirements for platform and infrastructure partners to scale production systems. The role focuses on automating manual processes, ensuring consistent policy application, and advancing the automation agenda by deploying GenAI solutions including LLMs, RAG, and agents. Key skills include proficiency in Python, modern data tooling, and a strong sense of UI/UX design. You will solve complex problems at the intersection of policy, operations, and engineering to improve quality, consistency, and throughput for the app review process.

What you'll do

  • Design and deliver internal tools and automation to streamline the end-to-end App Review experience.
  • Build prototypes and scripts directly to prove value and de-risk larger engineering investments.
  • Translate operational requirements into technical specifications for platform and infrastructure engineering teams.
  • Decide when to build lightweight solutions personally versus when to partner with engineering teams for scalable infrastructure.
  • Design and deploy generative AI and agent-based solutions to automate manual review tasks.
  • Create intuitive user interfaces and workflows that are trusted and adopted by internal specialists.
  • Measure the success of implemented tools through data instrumentation and iterative feedback from users.
  • Communicate technical designs, trade-offs, and results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 7+ years of combined experience across software engineering, data engineering, solutions engineering, or technical product roles.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous problems and build working prototypes independently.
  • Proven track record of collaborating with platform/infrastructure teams to write requirements for production systems.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and modern data tooling to build standalone solutions.
  • Hands-on experience designing and deploying GenAI, LLMs, RAG, and agentic solutions.
  • Strong product instincts regarding UI/UX, workflow design, and human factors of tool adoption.
  • Ability to produce clear architectural diagrams and technical documentation for non-technical stakeholders.
