HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL DO
Duties:
AI Developer Productivity & Engineering Intelligence
- Help us prove not just assume that AI makes engineering faster and better.
- AI is widely adopted across our engineering teams. Now we're building the systems to measure its real impact on speed, quality, and reliability with guardrails.
- We're hiring a Senior Engineer or Technical Lead to build and scale our AI Developer Productivity program. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, data, developer experience, and AI tooling.
- If you care about engineering excellence, measurable impact, and building systems that improve how teams ship software this role is for you.
What You'll Do:
Build Our AI Productivity Measurement System
- Instrument and track AI tool adoption (Cursor, Claude Code)
- Measure suggestion acceptance and AI-assisted PR trends
- Connect AI usage to real delivery outcomes
- Implement DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, recovery time)
- PR cycle time (p50/p75)
- Review SLAs
- Throughput & WIP aging
- Merge → deploy timing
- Publish weekly scorecards and identify bottlenecks
- Enforce coverage standards (target: 80%)
- Monitor E2E health (Playwright pass rate, flakiness, time-to-fix)
- Track rework signals (churn, reverts, hotfixes)
- Ensure velocity gains don't hide reliability regressions
- Standardized PR templates and labels (risk, AI usage, rollout plans)
- Automate ingestion from GitHub, CI/CD, and AI tools
- Deliver a unified dashboard (team-level metrics only — no individual ranking)
- Establish privacy-conscious governance standards
What Success Looks Like:
- PR cycle time improves measurably
- Rework and defect rates remain flat or decline
- Reliability metrics do not regress as throughput increases
- AI adoption clearly correlates with delivery improvements
- Engineering leaders rely on your dashboards for decision-making

- Comfortable working across engineering, platform, and leadership stakeholders
- Experience with AI developer tools
