    Requirements

    • •Experience with autonomous coding agents, AI coding platforms, agent orchestration systems, or internal AI developer tooling
    • •Practical experience building, deploying, or operating AI-assisted or agentic software development workflows
    • •Strong software engineering background, ideally in platform engineering, developer experience, infrastructure, tooling, CI/CD, or engineering productivity
    • •Comfortable leading a first-of-a-kind technical initiative from problem definition through pilot, adoption, measurement, and iteration
    • •Deep understanding of GitHub, CI, testing strategies, code review, monorepos, issue tracking, developer environments, and release risk
    • •Strong judgment around permissions, secrets, sandboxing, sensitive code paths, and human-in-the-loop review
    • •Knowledge of designing benchmarks, quality signals, failure-mode tracking, and adoption metrics
    • •Strong written communication skills for writing repo instructions, playbooks, PR evidence templates, technical proposals, and alignment documents
    • •Ability to influence across Platform, Product Engineering, AI, Security, and Architecture without formal authority

    What You'll Do

    • •Define safe task categories for autonomous agents, including what they can attempt, what they should never touch, and where additional review is required
    • •Design and implement isolated execution environments where agents can work without exposing secrets or accessing sensitive systems unnecessarily
    • •Build pilot workflows that allow selected Linear issues to be picked up by agents, tested, and converted into useful draft PRs
    • •Create and maintain repo instructions, agent playbooks, ownership metadata, coding guidelines, and documentation that improve agent performance
    • •Continuously improve developer workflows, repo structure, testability, and documentation based on where agents succeed, fail, or create reviewer friction
    • •Partner with Architecture and senior engineers to define boundaries, dependencies, and areas where agents need more context or tighter constraints
    • •Integrate agentic workflows with Linear, GitHub, CI, test infrastructure, and developer review processes
    • •Design PR evidence templates that help reviewers understand what changed, why, what tests ran, what risks remain, and where human judgment is needed
    • •Partner with Security, AI/Agents, Developer Platform, and product engineering teams to define guardrails for sensitive areas like auth, billing, permissions, and data handling
    • •Create benchmarks from real historical engineering tasks to evaluate agent output quality, failure modes, test pass rates, review burden, and production risk
    • •Define quality signals and adoption metrics such as draft PR usefulness rate, reviewer acceptance rate, CI pass rate, rework rate, and developer satisfaction
    • •Use data and feedback from pilot teams to improve agent workflows, reduce unsafe attempts, and build trust across engineering

    Nice to Have

    • •Experience working in a large TypeScript, Node.js, or JavaScript monorepo
    • •Experience with GitHub Actions, Linear, automated testing infrastructure, preview environments, or internal developer platforms
    • •Experience with sandboxing, secrets management, least-privilege access, or sensitive code ownership
    • •Experience creating evaluation frameworks, benchmarks, or quality metrics for AI-generated code or automation systems
    • •Experience contributing to open-source or source-available projects with active developer communities
    • •Understanding of B2B SaaS environments where reliability, permissions, data handling, and customer trust are central
    • •Familiarity with workflow automation, integration platforms, AI orchestration, or developer-facing products
