Senior Staff Software Engineer (Developer Experience, Moveworks)

Join Moveworks as a Senior Staff Software Engineer in the Developer Experience team. You will design and build core developer platforms, own end-to-end delivery of products that increase developer productivity, and drive measurable supply metrics. You will also lead technical strategy for your platform areas, set engineering standards, and mentor senior engineers. The role requires deep expertise in distributed systems, experience leading design and operation of developer platforms, and familiarity with LLM-based architectures.

Responsibilities

• Design and build core developer platforms, including SDKs, APIs, runtime abstractions, tooling infrastructure, and developer-facing services.
• Own the end-to-end delivery of products that increase developer productivity, focusing on faster time-to-market, higher-quality artifacts, and lower friction.
• Lead technical strategy for platform areas, including roadmap, API design, and cross-team alignment, while setting engineering standards and mentoring senior engineers.
• You're a multiplier. You trace developer pain to platform gaps, design general solutions, ship them in ways that unlock categories of use cases
• You raise the abstraction level of everything you touch. You shape product decisions from the technical side. Your mentees have gone on to senior roles or owned critical systems
• End-to-end ownership: you design, code, debug in production, iterate based on real feedback — not handing off at the design doc
• Understand developer activation funnels and feedback loops that turn builders into core contributors

Requirements

• Strong systems engineer with fluency in production microservices environments at scale
• Deep expertise in distributed systems: reliability, API design, performance, fault tolerance, observability
• Experience leading design and multi-year operation of developer platforms that reached 100+ external teams; can point to instances where the platform unlocked new use cases or accelerated velocity by order of magnitude
• Built general-purpose platforms other engineers depend on; understand what makes an abstraction good vs. leaky
• Navigate tradeoffs with incomplete data: know when to generalize vs. specialize, when to build vs. integrate, when to move fast vs. lock in design
• 12+ years designing, building, operating production systems; significant platform or infrastructure team experience
• Familiarity with LLM-based architectures or agent orchestration patterns

Preferred

• Experience with enterprise developer environments: auth, sandboxing, compliance, multi-tenancy constraints
