Who We Are
About the Role
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a new team focused on building AI agents that improve engineering velocity, reliability, and developer experience across the company.
This team will operate with a 0→1 charter inside our Infrastructure / DevX organization, developing agentic systems that automate workflows such as CI failure triage, autonomous deployments, incident response, and proactive bug detection. The work will have a broad impact across all engineering teams by reducing toil and enabling faster iteration.
This role is both strategic and hands-on: you will define the roadmap, build and grow the team, and actively contribute to prototyping and development.
What You'll Do
- Make every engineer more productive by eliminating repetitive workflows through AI agents
- Define and own the agent roadmap: what to automate, in what order, and how to measure success
- Build and lead a small, high-impact team of engineers
- Contribute hands-on to prototyping, coding, and unblocking technical challenges
- Establish evaluation frameworks for agent performance (golden tasks, regression sets, replay, LLM-as-judge)
- Partner closely with Infrastructure, Security, and DevX teams to integrate agents into core workflows
- Drive high engineering standards through design docs, RFCs, and strong execution
What You Bring
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years in engineering management
- Proven experience shipping production systems, including agentic or automation-heavy workflows
- Strong hands-on coding ability in Python, Go, or TypeScript
- Experience building systems that interact with APIs, tools, and external services (not just prompt-based interfaces)
- Demonstrated ability to define metrics and evaluate system performance rigorously
- Experience writing clear technical design documents and driving alignment
Nice to Have
- Experience building or managing developer tooling or internal platforms
- Familiarity with agent frameworks or orchestration systems
- Experience in monorepo environments
- Startup or early-stage team experience (0→1 or small team scaling)
US Employee Benefits
- Healthcare programs that can be tailored to meet the personal health and financial well-being needs - Premiums are 100% covered for the employee under at least one plan and 80% for family premiums under all plans
- Nationwide medical, vision and dental coverage
- Health Saving Account (HSA) with annual employer contributions and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) with tax saving options
- Expanded mental health support
- Paid parental leave policy & fertility benefits
- Time off to relax and recharge through our paid holidays, firmwide extended holidays, flexible PTO and personal sick time
- Professional development stipend
- Fertility Stipend
- Wellness/fitness benefits
- Healthy lunches provided daily
- Commuter benefits
Additional Information
- We do sponsor and take over sponsorship of employment visas for this role. If we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa.
