We know what you are thinking…WHAT IS THE ROLE AND WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING? 👀
As a Staff Software Engineer on the Developer Platform team, you will design and operate the inner-loop developer systems that enable engineers at Housecall Pro to build, test, and validate changes quickly and confidently — before code is merged.
Your mission is to maximize developer productivity and confidence by delivering fast feedback, intelligent automation, and strong standards across local development, build, test, and merge-readiness workflows. A key part of this mission is evolving AI-assisted development into a reliable, trusted, and scalable capability — integrated naturally into how engineers work, not bolted on as an experiment or novelty.
This role is deeply hands-on and highly impactful. You will work across build systems, CI workflows, developer tooling, and AI-enabled development experiences. You will reason about developer productivity as a systems problem — combining human workflows, automation, and AI assistance to continuously improve how engineers write and validate software. The work you do directly influences engineering velocity, code quality, and developer satisfaction across the company.
While we're hiring for primary area of skill, this role sits within a Developer Platform team that owns the software development lifecycle end-to-end. Team members are expected to think beyond their immediate specialty and contribute to improvements across the full SDLC. This means collaborating across domains, understanding how changes in one stage affect the others, and helping evolve the platform as a cohesive system rather than a collection of isolated tools.
In your day to day, you will:
- Build and operate local development, build, test, and debug workflows that provide fast, clear feedback to developers.
- Own developer-facing tools and workflows with clear APIs, documentation, and support expectations.
- Design opinionated, supported paved paths that eliminate bespoke or fragile workflows.
- Balance flexibility with standardization so tooling scales across teams and use cases.
- Define the contract for what “ready to merge” means, including required tests, metadata, and artifact guarantees.
- Evolve CI/CD pipelines to support faster feedback, higher reliability, and safer releases.
- Integrate AI-assisted development naturally into developer workflows where it meaningfully improves speed, quality, or completeness.
- Treat AI tooling as a durable platform capability, with clear ownership, lifecycle management, and measurable outcomes.
- Ensure AI-assisted workflows enhance developer effectiveness without increasing defect rates, review overhead, or operational risk.
- Reduce time-to-first-commit for new engineers through fast, repeatable onboarding workflows.
- Maintain high-quality documentation, examples, and learning paths for developer tooling and AI-assisted workflows.
- Partner with feature teams to debug complex reliability and performance issues, proposing concrete code changes and architectural improvements.
- Help teams adopt resilient coding patterns, including retries with backoff, circuit breakers, bulkheads, idempotency, and graceful degradation.
- Identify friction hotspots through feedback and usage data, and drive targeted improvements.
We think this role is for you if have...
- 5-8+ years of experience in software engineering roles.
- Strong experience building and operating developer tooling, CI systems, or build/test infrastructure.
- Experience designing workflows or platforms that incorporate automation and intelligent assistance for developers.
- Proficiency in modern build systems, test frameworks, and CI orchestration.
- Experience designing internal platforms, tooling APIs, or reusable developer workflows.
- Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, testing strategies, and code quality practices.
- Experience improving performance, reliability, and usability of developer-facing systems.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
What will help you succeed???
- A product mindset: you think of developers as customers and workflows as products.
- Comfort working at the intersection of human workflows, automation, and AI assistance.
- Strong empathy for developer pain points and the discipline to fix root causes.
- A bias toward simplicity, standardization, and paved paths over bespoke solutions.
- Ability to balance speed, quality, and maintainability — especially when introducing new automation or AI capabilities.
- Curiosity about how engineering teams work and how emerging tools can responsibly improve effectiveness.
- Ability to mentor peers and influence technical direction without relying on authority.
