Job Description
As a Staff Engineer on the Builder Enablement team your mission is to make the right way the easy way.
You will be a founding member of the Builder Enablement team at the intersection of architecture engineering and enablement - identifying common design and implementation needs across Enterprise Engineering and turn them into paved paths clear reusable solutions that reduce friction and accelerate time-to-value.
These paved paths can take many forms depending on what works best for builders: well-crafted documentation reference architectures code templates IaC modules shared libraries or self-service infrastructure tools. You'll choose the right medium to meet developers where they are and integrate with how they already work.
You'll partner closely with architects and service owners translating patterns and practices into concrete implementations that teams can readily adopt. Your focus is on usability and adoption not just creating guidance but making it the default.
Where it adds value you'll also leverage modern AI tools such as agent-based workflows or prompt-driven interfaces to further reduce friction and help developers design build and operate systems more effectively.
The result: teams move faster with less guesswork on top of a platform that is consistent scalable and easy to use.
Responsibilities
  • Identify common design and implementation needs across application engineering teams and translate them into clear reusable paved paths that reduce friction and accelerate delivery
  • Create and maintain high-quality documentation reference architectures and implementation guides that help engineers quickly understand how to build on enterprise platforms and services
  • Develop reusable artifacts such as Terraform or similar modules code templates and example implementations that encode best practices and provide strong starting points for new systems
  • Partner with enterprise platform and foundation teams to understand existing capabilities and constraints and incorporate them into cohesive developer-friendly patterns
  • Collaborate with architects to translate architectural principles and system understanding into practical guidance and working implementations
  • Contribute to and evolve AI-assisted developer workflows such as agent-based tools prompt patterns or skill definitions that help engineers design scaffold and operate systems more effectively
  • Evaluate and choose the right medium for enablement-whether documentation code templates or AI-assisted interfaces-based on what will be most effective and adoptable for builders
  • Gather feedback from application teams and iterate on paved paths based on real-world usage improving usability clarity and adoption over time
  • Help identify gaps in platform capabilities or developer experience and work with foundation teams to influence improvements or new services where needed
  • Advocate for a developer-centric approach to platform adoption ensuring that enterprise capabilities are accessible understandable and easy to use in practice

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering or a related field or equivalent practical experience
  • 6+ years of relevant experience
  • Strong hands-on experience building and operating production software systems with a solid understanding of the tools workflows and challenges faced by application engineers
  • Experience working with cloud platforms (e.g. AWS Azure GCP) and modern infrastructure practices including infrastructure-as-code (CFT Terraform Pulumi or similar)
  • Demonstrated ability to create clear practical technical guidance-such as documentation examples or templates-that other engineers successfully adopt
  • Experience translating complex systems or platform capabilities into usable patterns and abstractions for other developers
  • Familiarity with developer workflows and tooling (CI/CD local development deployment patterns) and how to improve them
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across teams particularly with platform infrastructure and application engineers
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to meet developers where they are and present solutions in a way that is approachable and actionable
  • A pragmatic mindset with a focus on usability adoption and real-world effectiveness over theoretical elegance

Desired Characteristics:
  • Experience in platform engineering developer experience (DX) or internal tooling roles focused on enabling other engineers
  • Experience creating and maintaining IaC modules code templates or reference implementations used across multiple teams
  • Comfort working across multiple abstraction layers-from infrastructure to application architecture-and understanding how they connect
  • Experience using or building AI-assisted development workflows such as prompt engineering agent-based tooling or internal developer assistants
  • A strong sense for when to write documentation vs. build tooling vs. provide examples and how to combine them effectively
  • Experience working in large federated organizations where different teams own different parts of the stack
  • Curiosity and a bias toward simplifying complex systems and reducing cognitive load for other engineers
  • Ability to gather feedback observe developer behavior and continuously improve solutions based on how they are actually used
