## About the Role

* A track record of shipping production systems and leading cross-team initiatives with group level impact - comfortable owning delivery end to end, from design through to production and adoption.
 * Hands on fluency with the languages and tooling used to build developer tooling (e.g. Go, Python, TypeScript) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
 * Experience managing compute via Kubernetes (multi-tenant workload isolation, autoscaling ephemeral workloads, cost management), or lightweight VM/sandbox technology (e.g. Firecracker).
 * Working knowledge of cloud networking, including securely and cost-effectively routing traffic across network boundaries (VPNs, service meshes, etc.)
 * Experience integrating LLM/AI tooling into developer workflows - e.g. Claude Code - both locally, and remotely.
 * Excellent written and verbal communication; able to influence senior stakeholders and align multiple non-adjacent teams without formal authority over them.
 * Experience building close working relationships with the engineering teams who consume your platform, not just the platform team itself., * Experience in developer platforms or adjacent infrastructure: devcontainers, remote development, remote IDE backends, or developer workstation tooling.
 * Practical experience with JetBrains remote-backend flows, Codespaces/Codeserver-style products, or equivalent.
 * Experience with remote build/execution systems (e.g. BuildBuddy), or large-scale build caching.
