Position Responsibilities Platform & Tooling
- Design and own the internal developer platform — CI/CD pipelines, local dev environments, build systems, and deployment workflows — with measurable impact on DORA metrics                 - Evaluate, integrate, and govern AI coding assistants (e.g. Git Hub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) across engineering teams, including rollout strategy, usage policy, and ROI measurement          - Build and maintain AI-powered tooling: code generation scaffolds, intelligent PR reviewers, automated documentation generators, and context-aware onboarding assistants                      - Define and enforce standards for IDE configuration, linting, formatting, and code generation prompts across polyglot environments
Developer Productivity                                                                         - Identify and eliminate friction in the software development lifecycle through data — measure time-to-first-PR, build times, incident MTTR, and cognitive load   - Architect agentic workflows that automate repetitive engineering tasks (boilerplate generation, dependency upgrades, test scaffolding, changelog authoring)                          - Own the inner dev loop: hot reload, local service mocking, test data generation, and environment parity between local and production                                                  - Drive adoption of prompt engineering best practices and RAG-based internal knowledge tooling (runbooks, architecture docs, incident history)
Architecture & Standards                                                                     - Set technical direction for developer-facing APIs, SDKs, and CLI tooling consumed by internal engineering teams  - Establish LLM integration patterns — context window management, prompt versioning, output validation, hallucination guardrails — as reusable internal libraries  - Define AI-assisted code review standards: what tooling enforces, what humans own, and escalation paths for ambiguous cases                                                             - Lead architectural reviews with a DX lens, ensuring new systems are observable, testable, and locally runnable from day one Cross-Functional Leadership                                                                  - Partner with security and compliance to govern AI tool usage — data residency, secret handling, acceptable use policies for LLM-generated code                                         - Represent developer experience in roadmap planning, translating engineering pain points into prioritized platform investments                                                                 - Mentor staff and senior engineers on AI-augmented development practices;

run internal enablement programs and brown bags                                                               - Influence hiring by defining technical bar for DX-adjacent roles and contributing to interview design
Measures of Success                                                                            - Reduction in time-to-production for…
