About the role

  • Staff Engineer focusing on AI productivity infrastructure at Hightouch. Building tools and integrations to enhance AI agents across the codebase.

Responsibilities

  • Own the agentic development environment: Ensure agents can operate in independent cloud-based development environments, execute our full test suites, examine build results visually, etc
  • Build our tooling integrations: Build MCP server integrations that connect our agents to the systems needed to build and debug software, such as CircleCI, Slack, Datadog, Github, etc
  • Documentation and context: Own our repo-wide agents.md file and work with teams to ensure our library of agent guidance and skills is continually pushing the bar
  • Enablement: Work with our engineers to understand where agents are struggling and address root causes such as better docs, tooling access, etc
  • Serve as a “PM” for internal AI agents: Consistently keep us on the leading edge of AI productivity trends by staying abreast of what is state-of-the-art in industry

Requirements

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals—you can dive into complex backend code and understand it quickly
  • Deep hands-on experience with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Devin, or similar)
  • Experience writing effective agent documentation, custom instructions, or context files that meaningfully improved agent output
  • Track record of building developer tools or infrastructure that other engineers actually use
  • Comfortable working across the stack: you'll touch CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, internal tooling, and application code
  • Nice to have: experience building or contributing to MCP servers or similar agent-tooling integrations
  • Background in developer productivity, platform engineering, or developer experience roles
  • Experience with our stack: TypeScript/JavaScript monorepos, Go, GraphQL
  • You've set up sandboxed or containerized development environments at scale

Benefits
