Motivation for the team
We are forming a new Developer Tools team focused on building internal tools, test frameworks, and utilities that enable developers, product and support engineers to work more effectively with production systems. The team’s charter is to improve developer productivity, operational efficiency, and system testability through custom-built solutions.
Role Overview
Design and build internal frameworks and tooling to support the development and operations lifecycle.
Create test automation frameworks, observability/debugging utilities, and deployment support tools.
Collaborate with developers, infra, and support engineers to identify friction points and solve them with well-designed tools.
Work across multiple codebases, understanding backend services and contributing enhancements to make them more operable.
Be comfortable starting projects from scratch and seeing them through to adoption.
Evangelize best practices for code quality, testability, automation, and reliability across engineering teams.
Must Haves
6+ years of experience building frameworks, CLIs, SDKs, or developer-facing libraries/tools.
Strong coding ability in one or more languages (Python, Java preferred).
Solid understanding of software development lifecycle (CI/CD, testing, debugging).
Good understanding of system design concepts (APIs, databases, distributed systems fundamentals, Infrastructure as Code).
Experience with cloud environments (AWS).
Temperament to design and iterate on tools based on feedback.
Good communication skills — ability to work across engineering, product, infra, and support teams.
Nice to Have
Familiarity with monitoring/logging systems (Grafana, Prometheus, Otel, Influx).
Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible).
Past contributions to internal tooling or open-source developer tools.
Familiarity with large-scale distributed systems and their testing challenges.
