Salary: $195,000 – $290,000/yr
Type: Full-time
This role is designed for a senior-level Software Engineer (5+ years) who is obsessed with developer productivity and internal tooling. This is **not** a data science or ML research role; instead, you’ll be building the infrastructure, sandboxed environments, and multi-agent orchestration systems that allow AI to write and ship code. You should be a "software engineer first" with a deep familiarity with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and LLM APIs.
The compensation is highly competitive, ranging from **$195k to $290k**, reflecting the high-visibility nature of this strategic priority. While the team is remote-first, this specific position requires a **commuter-distance proximity to Los Angeles or San Francisco** for in-person collaboration. You’ll enjoy unique perks like a dogfooding budget to buy collectibles on the app and a 4% 401k match.
**You might be a good fit if you:**
* Use AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor) daily and have strong opinions on how to optimize them for an entire org.
* Have experience with containerized execution environments or sandboxing for autonomous agents.
* Are comfortable acting as a technical bridge between engineering, PMs, and leadership.
* Love building internal tools that make every other engineer's life easier.
