Superhuman is seeking a full-stack Software Engineer to join the Developer Experience team in Porto. You'll serve as an embedded partner within the Superhuman Docs business unit, bridging the gap between the central Engineering Platform team and the Docs engineering organization.
In this high-autonomy, high-impact role, you'll own developer productivity initiatives across the Docs codebase, which processes hundreds of pull requests weekly. Your work will directly compound—optimizing build times or CI/CD pipelines saves thousands of compute seconds across the team each week.
Key responsibilities include:
- Acting as the Developer Experience spokesperson and embedded partner for Docs, implementing platform team initiatives within the business unit's context and escalating blockers appropriately
- Translating day-to-day developer friction and leadership priorities into a clear, prioritized DevX roadmap
- Building full-stack internal tooling and self-service platforms tailored to how the Docs team works
- Owning and enhancing CI/CD pipelines and deployment tooling to make shipping safe, fast, and reliable at high release cadence
- Streamlining the local development inner loop across a hybrid monolith-and-microservices codebase
- Working hands-on with build systems (Bazel or equivalents) and cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes)
- Creating codebase-specific golden paths, templates, and documentation
- Defining and tracking developer-productivity metrics to validate impact
Superhuman is an AI productivity platform with over 40 million users, 50,000 organizations, and 3,000 educational institutions. The company offers a hybrid working model balancing focus time with in-person collaboration.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Minimum 5 years of software engineering experience with meaningful full-stack exposure (front-end and back-end)
- Proficiency in multiple programming languages (Go, Python, Java, TypeScript, or similar); ability to learn new languages quickly
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems, build tooling, and developer workflow automation
- Experience with large-scale build systems such as Bazel or equivalent systems at large engineering organizations
- Comfort with cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerized workflows (Kubernetes)
- Experience working across hybrid monolith-and-microservices architectures with high-volume, complex release processes
- Strong empathy and communication skills; this role is approximately 50% conversation and partnership
- Genuine motivation to improve how other engineers work rather than shipping product features
- Comfort continuously learning across a broad, evolving technology stack
