Staff Software Engineer – Developer Platform

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Canada.

📋 Description

• Assume responsibility for key components of the Developer Platform, including monorepo CI/CD, the Agentic AI platform (DriftlessAF), shared build infrastructure, and the change-throughput substrate, while also contributing to the technical direction with the team.

• Enhance the speed, reliability, and overall developer experience of the monorepo CI/CD pipeline, allowing engineers to focus more on shipping features rather than waiting on or troubleshooting builds.

• Play a role in advancing the next generation of change throughput by investigating alternatives to PR-based workflows for agent-driven changes, facilitating trusted agents to directly commit to the main branch with automated validation, and supporting AI-assisted review and auto-merge processes for low-risk changes.

• Assist in productionizing the Agentic AI platform by implementing agent observability (structured traces, cost tracking, and debuggability), establishing RAG-as-platform capabilities for teams to provide shared memory to their agents, and ensuring the context-engineering patterns (skills, tools, memory) that maintain agent reliability from development through production.

• Collaborate with the team to unify disparate build systems and create standardized "paved road" blueprints, enabling new products to onboard seamlessly to the monorepo and deploy to production efficiently.

• Work closely with engineers throughout the organization to identify sources of toil, formalize patterns, and automate repetitive manual tasks, viewing internal stakeholder teams as customers of the platform.

• Guide and mentor teammates, elevate the standards for design and code reviews, and act as a technical advocate for engineering velocity and operational excellence.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 8 years of experience in building and managing production services and platform infrastructure in contemporary cloud environments.

• Proficient in Go, or a strong willingness to learn quickly.

• Extensive technical knowledge in CI/CD systems, container-based orchestration, and the tools necessary to scale a large monorepo across build, test, and release processes.

• Experience in shaping technical direction across various teams by assessing tradeoffs, assisting in deprecating outdated systems, and fostering alignment around a target architecture.

• Familiar with Agentic AI and LLM-based automation in production, as well as a keen interest in context engineering (RAG, memory, tool-calling) at platform scale.

• Strong communication and collaboration abilities, with a proven history of identifying and automating repetitive manual tasks in conjunction with the engineers most affected by them.

• Comfortable with uncertainty and focused on data-driven enhancements to product delivery — you are self-motivated, maintain high standards, and excel in a fast-paced environment where quality and speed are equally prioritized.
