Preferred Experience * Experience designing or operating internal developer platforms, custom build networks, or internal control planes at multi-hundred-engineer scale. * Experience with compliance-sensitive workflows, change management systems, audit trails, or policy engines. * Background in SaaS or cloud-native infrastructure where software delivery speed directly impacts business outcomes. * Prior experience as a technical lead or architect on a platform team without direct reports. * Experience evaluating or building guardrails (sandboxing, permissions, eval harnesses) for autonomous or semi-autonomous coding agents in a real engineering org. ## Description Ready to be a Titan? ServiceTitan is building the Developer Platform for enterprise-scale SaaS: a shared engineering ecosystem that powers seamless, high-velocity software delivery across our entire product footprint. This is not a collection of script-runners. Our DevX platform is the runtime, framework, build, deployment, guardrail, and telemetry layer that lets hundreds of engineers ship code safely, observably, and at enterprise scale. We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to be the deepest technical voice on our DevX platform team. This is an individual-contributor role with outsized scope: you'll set technical direction, make architecture calls that other engineers build against, and personally ship the hardest, highest-leverage parts of the platform. You won't manage people, but you'll be expected to lead through influence - raising the technical bar for engineers and managers alike. We need someone with deep production scars, strong systems intuition, and the judgment to know when to go deep on a gnarly problem versus when to unblock the team and move on. You should be comfortable being the technical backstop for a small, senior-heavy team and the person other engineers (and their managers) come to when something is architecturally ambiguous or on fire. What You'll Build You will be a primary technical owner across foundational DevX platform capabilities, including: * Environments: Cloud development environments (CDEs), on-demand provisioning, high-fidelity mocking, data seeding, and configuration management. * Build & CI/CD: Build parallelization, remote caching, automated test-splitting, secure pipelines, and zero-downtime progressive rollouts. * Developer Portal: A unified internal platform (IDP) providing "Golden Paths," automated service scaffolding, and centralized API/service catalogs. * Guardrails & Compliance: Automated linting, security scanning, policy-as-code injection, and static analysis embedded natively in workflows. * Velocity Harness: DORA metrics, build telemetry, local-to-production feedback loops, test flakiness analysis, and infrastructure cost tracking. * AI-Native Tooling: AI-assisted development tooling and coding agent runtimes (e.g., Codex-style agents) that help engineering teams operate at "AI speed" - including the platform primitives (sandboxing, context/data access, evaluation harnesses) that make agentic coding safe at scale. What You'll Do * Set technical direction for the platform: define architecture, platform contracts (service templates, environment configs, pipeline steps, deployment manifests), and long-term design tradeoffs. * Personally design and build the highest-leverage, highest-ambiguity pieces of the platform - the parts too risky or too foundational to hand off. * Review designs and code across the team; be the escalation point when a technical decision needs a final call. * Debug the hardest production issues in the platform: pipeline failures, build system regressions, infrastructure drift, flaky test root causes. * Partner directly with Product, Security, SRE, and domain engineering leads to align the platform roadmap with real usage patterns and constraints. * Mentor and level up engineers and EMs on the team through code review, design review, and pairing - without formal management authority. * Translate ambiguous, org-wide DevX strategy into a concrete technical roadmap that others can execute against. * Represent the platform in cross-functional architecture reviews and act as a technical reference for teams building on top of it. * Own the technical design of AI-assisted developer tooling and coding agent runtime infrastructure - evaluating, integrating, and hardening agentic coding tools for production use across R&D.
