Senior Engineering Manager, Platform Engineering (Developer Experience)

• We want you to feel like part of the team early on! Our onboarding process will integrate you into the company with informative sessions on our product, policies, processes, and team structure and goals. [And you’ll spend meaningful time getting to know your direct reports and discover what excites and challenges them.]

• We’re excited for you to learn, grow, and contribute right away! We trust that you’ll bring experience and knowledge that will uplift and uplevel the team, but we don’t expect you to know everything on Day 1. ### In your role, you'll... Stabilize & Mature the Developer Platform

• Lead platform teams that build and evolve core developer tooling (spanning build/test infrastructure, CI, local development environments, and developer workflows) to improve engineer productivity and time-to-value. - Drive reliability improvements across the developer-facing critical path: reduce CI flakiness, improve build/test speed, and ensure fast, reliable feedback loops for both human and agent-generated changes. - Partner with Release Engineering and Cloud Infrastructure on shared goals: your team ensures the build/test foundation is solid; they own the release and deploy paths that depend on it. - Ensure operational excellence for developer platform services with clear SLOs, robust observability, and incident/bug management practices. Ship AI-Powered Developer Tooling

• Own the strategy and execution for AI-assisted and autonomous developer workflows — evaluating, building, and deploying tools that automate mechanical tasks (lint fixes, test triage, code review, CVE remediation) so engineers can focus on architecture and product problems. - Partner with Security Engineering to deliver and operate secure sandboxed environments for agentic AI tool use, enabling agents to edit, build, test, and open PRs safely. - Stay current with the rapidly evolving AI developer tooling landscape. Run fast experiments — prototype, measure, and make kill/scale decisions quickly, while building durable solutions where the signal supports it. - Define and track success metrics for AI tooling: adoption rates, time saved, CI impact, and developer satisfaction. Treat Platform as a Product

• Treat internal engineers as your customers. Gather feedback, measure adoption, and iterate on what you ship, not just launch and move on. - Drive org-wide adoption of new tools, workflows, and standards. Build the documentation, enablement, and evangelism that turn a good tool into an org-wide habit. - Establish and use developer efficiency metrics (e.g., build/test times, CI pass rates, change failure rate, AI tool adoption) to identify bottlenecks and plan ambitious improvements. Lead & Grow People

• Coach and develop engineers and leads; provide actionable feedback, elevate technical execution, and foster an inclusive, high-accountability culture. - Collaborate closely with Engineering Operations, Security Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure, Product, and Design to synthesize requirements and prioritize impactful investments. - Partner with Engineering Operations to improve processes for alignment, goal setting, empowerment, and cross-team execution across Engineering. - Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, adjusting altitude from strategy to technical deep dives as needed. ### Pluses

• Experience with developer ecosystems in Java, Python, or TypeScript; familiarity with Gradle, Bazel, Maven, or similar build systems. - Background building or managing React/TypeScript apps and frontend build tooling (e.g., NPM, Webpack), or optimizing backend services (e.g., Java + Gradle/Kotlin). - Experience building and supporting developer tools including scripts, dashboards, CLIs, and developer portals. - Practice measuring and communicating developer efficiency using metrics dashboards (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, Grafana) to guide prioritization and demonstrate impact. - Hands-on experience building or deploying AI agents, LLM-powered automation, or "Copilot-at-scale" initiatives within an engineering organization. - Experience driving org-wide adoption of new developer tools or workflows — with evidence of change management, documentation, enablement, and measured adoption outcomes. - Familiarity with frameworks and metrics for assessing and improving engineering effectiveness. ### Benefits

• The expected salary range for this role is between $237,000 - $300,000. The final offered salary will be dependent upon many factors including the candidate’s experience and skills. The base pay range is subject to change in the future. - Equity program

• 401(k) retirement plan with company matching

• Health, dental, and vision

• Flexible Spending Accounts for health and dependent care expenses

• Paid parental leave and approximately 10 days (80 hours) per year of sick leave

• Seventeen paid vacation days plus 11 federal holidays

• Membership toModern Health to help employees prioritize mental health and wellness

• Annual allocation for Learning & Development opportunities and applicable professional membership dues

• Company-sponsored life and disability insurance
