[Hiring] Staff Fullstack DevX Engineer @Productboard

Role Description

At Productboard, we're building the place where AI-first engineering gets defined. Removing every bottleneck as it surfaces, we are fundamentally reimagining what's possible when AI becomes a first-class partner, not a tool. This is where product engineers learn to operate at their highest level in the AI era.

You'd lead the architectural work that makes our codebase AI-native. Specifically:

• Agent-native architecture standards.
• Clear API contracts, semantic naming, well-defined module boundaries.
• A context infrastructure layer.
• Self-healing workflows for incidents.
• Agent workflows that go beyond chat.
• Systematic optimization of AI code review.

We are looking for a Staff Fullstack DevX Engineer who wants to be at the center of this transformation. The Developer Experience team’s mission is to boost engineering velocity and developer happiness by creating simple, powerful tooling and paved paths.

Join us, and help shape the future of AI-powered product development.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional engineering experience.
• Experience with Kotlin/Java in production (JVM performance, testing, dependency management).
• Solid grasp of cloud-native engineering (containers, Kubernetes; AWS/IaC a plus).
• Pragmatic approach to developer platforms, internal tooling, and CI/CD at scale.
• Nice to have: exposure to Go and interest in multi-language ecosystems.
• Previous experience with working on developer or internal tooling.
• Contributing to open source.
• Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset.
• Curiosity, adaptability, and a proactive, startup-friendly attitude.
• Bring product thinking to engineering work.
• Embrace AI as a daily tool in your own workflow.
• Curious about what agent native architecture looks like.

Requirements

• Build and evolve Kotlin services and frameworks that streamline the inner loop (APIs, build/test tooling, automation, paved paths).
• Maintain and improve our internal developer tool written in Golang.
• Accelerate CI/CD: improve caching/parallelism, increase test reliability, and shorten feedback cycles.
• Partner across teams to standardise workflows, enable self-serve integrations, and reduce cross-team friction.
• Instrument and improve: define DX metrics (lead time, build time, flakiness), run experiments, and iterate based on data.
• Improve reliability and safety with sensible defaults—observability, guardrails, and secure-by-default patterns.
• Make our codebase AI-ready: define clear module boundaries, improve API contracts, add semantic context, and build the structured documentation.
• Design and implement agent workflows that go beyond chat.
• Run experiments, validate with real users, and iterate based on evidence.
• Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to shape what we build.
• Act as a knowledge multiplier, sharing what you learn across and beyond your team.
