## Description

We're hiring a Developer Experience Engineer on our Core Platform team to own the software delivery lifecycle - the build, CI/CD, and provisioning systems that let both engineers and agents ship securely and fast. You'll build the systems that take code from idea to production, including the infrastructure that lets agents build, deploy, test, and verify autonomously.

This is a hands-on role for someone who has built developer and delivery infrastructure at an AI or high-growth startup and wants to define how autonomous agents move code to production.

What You'll Do

 * Build an agent development experience that streamlines idea to production, letting agents build, deploy, test, and verify code autonomously
 * Build a self-hosted software builder, a secure GitHub Actions Runner alternative that meets our compliance requirements
 * Adopt and operate a solution to provision infrastructure securely
