Staff Software Engineer (Developer Productivity)

Staff Software Engineer (Developer Productivity)

Overview

We are hiring a Staff Software Engineer with strong engineering fundamentals, hands-on experience building AI solutions, developer tooling, and automation to make AI a practical, measurable part of how teams build and ship software.

What You'll Do

• Design and build internal tools, automations, and integrations that remove friction from daily engineering work.
• Own and improve core developer workflows: local development environments, code review, testing, CI/CD, and release processes.
• Instrument developer toolchains to measure cycle time, build reliability, deployment frequency, and other engineering effectiveness signals.
• Build and maintain shared templates, plugins, CLI tools, and guardrails that make common engineering patterns repeatable and safe.
• Evaluate and integrate new tools, including AI-assisted development tools, based on measurable impact to team velocity and code quality.
• Partner with engineers, leads, and managers to identify bottlenecks and improve how teams collaborate and ship.
• Define best practices for scalable, measurable developer tooling across the SDLC.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, operating at a senior or staff level.
• Hands-on experience building AI solutions such as agents, LLM-powered workflows, or similar, beyond isolated prototypes.
• Experience building internal developer tools, workflow automation, or platform capabilities used by multiple teams.
• A track record of operationalizing AI tools across an engineering org.
• Strong grasp of developer productivity, SDLC workflows, and engineering enablement.
• Experience with telemetry, instrumentation, or analytics for workflow behavior and adoption.
• Strong hands-on scripting and automation skills.
• Experience with CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and modern engineering toolchains.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools.
• Experience building CLIs, developer portals, reusable templates, or self-service platforms.
• Observability tooling (Datadog, Sentry, Prometheus, Grafana, Kibana, or New Relic).
• Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and microservice-based systems.
• Must be based in Vancouver
