This role sits in a newly formed team focused on developer tooling. Think CLI, Terraform provider, IDE integrations, APIs. The stuff engineers touch constantly, even if they don’t think about it.

You won’t just ship features and move on. These are long-lived interfaces. If you break something, you break it for thousands of engineers. So this is about thoughtful design as much as writing code.

What you’ll be doing

  • Building and maintaining developer-facing tools like CLI, Terraform integrations, and IDE extensions

  • Designing APIs and interfaces that are stable, versioned properly, and don’t cause downstream chaos

  • Working closely with engineers and customers to understand how tools are actually used in the real world

  • Owning what you build end-to-end, including release, testing, and long-term support

What they’re looking for

  • 4+ years software engineering experience

  • Strong instincts around API and interface design

  • Experience with at least one of: Go, Python, TypeScript

  • Comfortable working in CI/CD environments and DevOps tooling

Nice to have (not required)

  • Experience building CLIs, SDKs, Terraform providers, or IDE tooling

  • Exposure to developer tooling ecosystems

Why this is interesting

  • You’re shaping how engineers interact with the platform, not just contributing to it

  • High ownership, high impact work with real users

  • Early team, so you’ll influence how things are built from the start
