Senior Software Engineer, Tooling (West Coast Preferred)

Overview

Build and maintain the internal application framework that lets teams ship internal tools quickly, and build custom business tooling on top of it for cross-org efforts such as roadmapping, headcount management, and business reporting.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain a framework that makes it fast to create and deploy internal applications and services, with defaults for authentication, hosting, CI/CD, logging, observability, and alerting
• Provide templates, documentation, and examples so teams can ship their own tools without starting from scratch
• Set the standards for how internal apps are built, secured, and run, and make the standard path the easiest one
• Leverage existing systems and sources of truth to build cross-connects where they don't exist
• Work across teams and organizations to understand where tools, processes, or systems are falling short, and turn those gaps into proposals that platform leads can prioritize
• Scope and deliver apps and tooling to address identified gaps
• Ship early versions quickly, learn from how people use them, and improve them over time
• Own the tools you build through rollout, adoption, and ongoing support
• Evaluate whether a need is best met by building, buying, or integrating an existing product, and recommend one with the tradeoffs
• Connect tools to the systems the company already uses, such as identity, data sources, and Slack, so they work together
• Help shape the architecture of internal systems, so they stay consistent and maintainable as the company grows
• Build operational basics into the framework, so every internal app gets incident management, SLO, and alerting defaults automatically
• Use AI tooling to speed up delivery and to automate workflows where it adds value

What you'll need

• 6+ years of software engineering, including building and shipping internal tools or full-stack web applications
• Strong full-stack skills: a backend language such as Go, Python, or TypeScript, and a modern frontend framework
• Experience designing reusable frameworks, templates, or platforms that other engineers build on
• Experience deploying to the cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure) with containers and CI/CD, and working knowledge of Kubernetes
• Sound judgment on build, buy, and integrate decisions, and experience integrating third-party SaaS products and APIs
• Experience working directly with non-engineering stakeholders to turn a need into a working tool
• Experience with AI-assisted development or LLM-powered automation
• Clear written communication and comfort working asynchronously on a remote team
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to have

• Cross-functional experience in program management
• Experience with internal tool or developer portal platforms
• Web design experience
• Familiarity with observability and incident tooling (incident.io, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar)
• Experience at a developer tooling or SaaS company at scale, and familiarity with compliance and security standards
