Engineering Productivity Engineer

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Own local development environment stability; eliminate works on my machine, keep environments reproducible, make onboarding self-service for every engineer
• ▹Improve the daily editing experience, including IDE and editor tooling, extensions, and code search, indexing, and navigation that stays fast as the codebase grows
• ▹Build paved roads: project scaffolding, templates, and golden-path workflows
• ▹Speed up build, test, and CI: test orchestration, ephemeral end-to-end environments, mutation and chaos testing
• ▹Profile build and test performance, optimize CI pipelines, parallelize and shard tests, cache aggressively, hunt down bottlenecks
• ▹Integrate and optimize code review tooling and automated review
• ▹Evaluate, integrate, and promote AI coding agents and assistants where they deliver real leverage
• ▹Build and curate the skills, extensions, and plugins that make those tools effective in the codebase
• ▹Measure the real impact of AI tooling so the team invests where it actually pays off
• ▹Champion best practices and be a force multiplier for the engineering org
• ▹Track productivity metrics and feedback loops (e.g. DORA) to find where cycle time is lost
• ▹Track code-quality signals such as coverage and mutation testing, and build dashboards that make quality visible
• ▹Establish automation and practices that catch issues early in the development cycle

Requirements

• ▹7+ years of software engineering experience, with a focus on developer productivity, infrastructure, or platform engineering
• ▹Passionate about developer experience and productivity; notices when engineers are fighting tools and fixes it
• ▹Proficient in Go, TypeScript, Python, Rust, and shell to build robust internal tools
• ▹Experience with CI/CD systems and pipeline optimization (e.g. GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Octopus, Harness)
• ▹Experience with local development environments and reproducibility (e.g. devcontainers, Nix, Docker)
• ▹Experience with containerization and image optimization
