  • Keep the team unblocked and moving
  • Work directly with customers, design partners, and cross-functional partners to translate real customer needs into a concrete plan

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • A strong technical background, with the ability to provide technical guidance on architecture, code quality, and trade-offs
  • Proven experience on teams that build end-user product features — ideally developer tools, agent/AI products, CLIs, or other technical product surfaces
  • Experience partnering closely with Product and Design to take features from idea to shipped, and incorporating customer feedback into the roadmap
  • Customer-facing experience: discovery calls, design partnerships, incorporating feedback loops into a roadmap
  • Experience shipping products consumed by or built for AI agents (MCP servers, agent SDKs, agentic dev tooling, agent-friendly CLIs)
  • Hands-on experience using and reasoning about coding agents (Amp, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar), with strong opinions about what good looks like when humans and agents share a workflow
  • Async-first communication skills and experience working in a globally distributed remote team

Nice to Have

  • Fluency with the stack the Code Plane team works in: Go, TypeScript/React (and ideally SvelteKit), GraphQL APIs, PostgreSQL, Docker/Kubernetes, and a multi-service environment
  • Experience with developer tools, code intelligence, code search, or large-scale code transformation/refactoring products
  • Experience with monitoring, alerting, or 'signals over code' products (e.g., security scanners, lint platforms, code-quality tools)
  • Experience designing and shipping CLIs that are pleasant for both humans and agents to use
  • Experience as a Team or Tech Lead on a software engineering team

Benefits
