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.

- 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
