What you’ll do day-to-day

You’ll join a collaborative and highly technical team to drive forward a best-in-class developer environment where you will:

  • Engage directly with users to understand needs, address issues, and promote adoption of new tools and processes.
  • Evaluate, integrate, and champion AI-powered developer tools, helping teams adopt these capabilities effectively and responsibly.
  • Build and maintain integrations and enhancements across IDEs to improve developer productivity, code navigation, and in-editor tooling.
  • Own and evolve our build tooling infrastructure, improving build speed, reliability, and reproducibility at scale across diverse codebases.
  • Contribute to Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) improvements by streamlining CI/CD pipelines, testing processes, and deployment workflows across teams.
  • Collaborate closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders across the firm to identify friction points, gather requirements, and deliver impactful solutions.
