Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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

Qualifications

• 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
