Developer Experience Engineer (Staff Level)

Vetcove is seeking a Staff Engineer to help us build 10x faster. AI is changing how software gets built, and we want someone who sees the opportunity and can make it real across Vetcove. You’ll own the tools, infrastructure, and workflows that let our engineers ship faster and give teams across the company the power to build.

You should be someone who is already experimenting with the latest coding agents, trying new developer tools, and constantly thinking, “Why are we still doing this manually?” This is a hands-on role with room to experiment, introduce new tools, and rethink how we work.

You’ll work directly with our engineering leadership and teams across the business. We operate in a fully remote environment, giving you the flexibility to do your best work while staying deeply connected to a fast-moving, highly collaborative team.

What you’ll do

• Build the development workflow you’d want to join a company to use. Rethink how we go from an idea to working software with AI at every step.

• Put coding agents to work. Give them the context, tools, environments, and feedback loops to take on increasingly ambitious tasks.

• Make CI and deployments fly. Own the path from code change to production and relentlessly cut slow tests, flaky builds, manual steps, and unnecessary waiting.

• Turn repetitive engineering work into automations. Build agents and workflows for triage, code review, testing, documentation, releases, and whatever else should stop eating engineering time.

• Give everyone at Vetcove the power to build. Set up the connections, infrastructure, and deployment paths that let non-engineering teams create and maintain their own apps and automations.

• Find and introduce tools that change how we work. Experiment with new models, coding agents, and developer infrastructure, bring the best into Vetcove, and own the rollout so the whole team benefits.

• Make the fastest path a reliable one. Build testing, permissions, sandboxing, and observability into our workflows so people and agents can move quickly with confidence.

• Get the team building differently. Work alongside engineers, share what’s working, and make better ways of building easy to adopt.

• Own the impact. Find the biggest bottlenecks across our team, remove them, and measure whether we’re shipping faster with less friction.

You should have

• A deep conviction that AI is changing software engineering, backed by hands-on experience using coding agents and building AI-powered workflows.

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience designing, shipping, and operating production systems.

• Experience improving CI/CD, testing infrastructure, development environments, or internal tooling, with a track record of making other engineers more productive.

• Familiarity with agent SDKs, agent harnesses, tool integrations, and the infrastructure agents need to work effectively on real codebases.

• The technical judgment to know when to buy a tool, when to build something ourselves, and when a simpler solution will get us further.

• The ability to take an ambiguous problem, set a technical direction, and carry it through implementation and adoption.

• Comfort working across our Python/Django and React/TypeScript stack, as well as the infrastructure that supports it.

• A collaborative, hands-on approach. You enjoy pairing with teammates, understanding where they get stuck, and building things they want to use.

Your primary job is to find the biggest bottlenecks within our team and go remove them. If you’re excited to build what an AI-native engineering organization should look like, we’d love to meet you.
