Software Engineer - Developer Infrastructure

About the role

Behind every intelligent machine is world-class infrastructure — come help us design it. You will implement and extend core application libraries and frameworks used by other engineers across the company, and scale our developer ecosystem across layers including the build and CI infrastructure of our monorepo. You are perfect if you are an engineer motivated by tasks that make your peers more productive and are capable of working cross-functionally to address the needs of a rapidly evolving business. At Applied Intuition, we encourage engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, closely interact with users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture.

The Developer Frameworks team plays a central role ensuring Applied's engineering talent can move quickly and confidently. Developer velocity is only becoming more critical as the company grows, and you will have the opportunity to directly impact the speed and success of the company's short- and long-term goals.
