You'll work on a full-stack system built across Kotlin, Python, and TypeScript along with defining AI agents and skills. The work ranges from designing the abstractions that make new infrastructure integrations seamless, to building the AI-native agent interfaces that let engineers generate projects directly from their IDEs or coding assistant tools.
The platform is growing fast. You'll have real ownership over technical decisions and contribute to a roadmap that's expanding into new infrastructure domains, AI-assisted developer workflows, and deeper integrations across a large-scale engineering organization.
