In this role, you'll build and maintain developer tools as a product, treating fellow engineers as your users. You'll work directly with them to understand friction points, implement improvements, and measure impact on their daily workflows.

- Joining the team's support rotation to help engineers, document solutions, and convert recurring problems into tooling improvements
- Participating in code reviews and technical discussions
The tech stack includes TypeScript, React, Node.js, Docker containers running on Kubernetes in Google Cloud Platform. You'll receive guidance from Senior and Staff engineers as you own scoped improvements from investigation through rollout.
Requirements:
- 2–4 years of software engineering experience, including internships or significant projects (formal degree not required)
- Programming experience in TypeScript or JavaScript, plus Go or Python
- Comfort with shell scripting and the command line
- Working knowledge of Git and CI/CD concepts
- Interest in developer tooling, infrastructure, and helping other engineers work more effectively
