About the role

At ŌURA, software engineering velocity directly dictates how quickly we can ship impactful health features, algorithms, and updates to millions of members. We are fundamentally transforming how our engineering teams build and deliver software by embedding agentic automation into our core engineering factory.

As a Staff AI Engineer in Developer Productivity , you will architect and own the systems that make agentic engineering the standard, highly dependable way hundreds of engineers ship code across mobile, backend, and web repositories.

Code generation is only one part of the equation. Your mission is to scale autonomous capabilities across the entire software development lifecycle, including specifications, test creation, automated code review, CI repair, and post-deploy signals. By accelerating feedback loops and removing delivery friction across all teams, your work directly translates into faster iteration cycles and higher-quality releases for ŌURA members.

Key Responsibilities

• Set the Technical Direction: Architect, scale, and maintain ŌURA’s agentic pipeline infrastructure, focusing on orchestration, context management, tool calling, and cloud sandboxing.
• Close the SDLC Loop: Extend agentic workflows beyond initial code draft generation into spec quality verification, test creation, automated code review, CI failure triage, and release verification.
• Rapid Prototyping & Production Hardening: Fast-prototype new agentic workflows against real engineering challenges, then turn validated experiments into robust, production-grade platform tooling.
• Measurement & Evaluation: Design and operate evaluation harnesses, LLM-as-a-judge grading systems, tracing, and observability dashboards to measure pipeline health, defect reduction, and time-to-signal.
• Autonomy & Guardrails: Establish sandboxing, permissions, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints tailored to risk levels, ensuring privacy-by-design standards across sensitive domains.
• Drive Voluntary Adoption: Partner closely with cross-functional engineering squads and AI DRIs to eliminate workflow friction, resolve tooling blockers, and establish reusable paved paths, skills, and templates.
