About the role
We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer – DevX (Hybrid – San Francisco) who bridges infrastructure and application thinking and can accelerate how the whole team develops, tests, and ships in the cloud.

- Staff-level engineering experience and impact
- Full-stack, infra-leaning skills, strong on the backend and systems side
- Experience moving a team's development workflow into the cloud (VMs, remote environments, preview branches, sandboxes)
- A track record of shipping developer tooling or platform infrastructure that measurably improved velocity
- Hands-on experience building agentic or AI-powered engineering workflows, used responsibly with human oversight
- Strong judgment, clear writing, and the ability to drive alignment without formal authority
