Tooling team builds the platforms, automation, and workflows that help Sprout’s engineers ship better software faster. Our scope spans CI/CD and continuous delivery, AI-assisted development and engineering agents, internal developer tools, and observability. As a Staff engineer, you’ll set technical direction and stay close to the code, turning complex problems into reliable tools that teams want to use. You’ll partner with engineers across Sprout to understand what slows them down, improve their daily workflows, and measure the difference your work makes. \n\nWhat you’ll do\nDefine technical direction for developer tooling alongside the Tooling Engineering Manager and engineering partners. Turn ambiguous, cross-team problems into architecture, practical milestones, and working software.\nDesign, build, and evolve our CI/CD and continuous delivery platforms. Reduce build and test times, improve pipeline reliability, and make releases faster and safer across different services and application stacks.\nBuild AI-first engineering workflows, including AI-assisted coding and agents that support development, testing, and operational tasks. Evaluate tools, integrate them into the software delivery lifecycle, and establish patterns other teams can adopt.\nPartner with Product Engineering, Infrastructure, and Security to create secure-by-default, self-service workflows. Lead adoption through clear documentation, thoughtful migrations, and direct collaboration with the engineers who use your tools.\nLead technical initiatives across teams, building alignment on design decisions and tradeoffs. Measure outcomes through CI duration, developer feedback, platform adoption, software delivery performance, and operational health.\nMultiply the impact of other engineers through design reviews, code reviews, pairing, mentorship, and reusable engineering patterns. Combine technical leadership with hands-on implementation.\nImprove engineering observability and developer integrations so teams can understand and troubleshoot their systems. Own the long-term reliability and maintenance of the tools you build, and automate repetitive work.\nWhat you’ll bring\nWe’re looking for a curious, pragmatic engineer who combines strong software engineering skills with experience building platforms for other developers. You enjoy investigating why a pipeline is slow, listening to feedback, and testing ideas across different services. You can connect long-term technical direction to incremental delivery, bring others along without formal authority, and take responsibility for systems throughout their lifecycle.\nThe minimum qualifications for this role include:\n7+ years of experience developing and operating production software, with strong programming skills in a language such as Python, Go, Java, or Ruby.\nExperience designing, building, and improving CI/CD systems and software delivery workflows, including diagnosing build, test, and deployment bottlenecks.\nHands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools and evaluating their output through code review, testing, and validation. Ability to identify where AI or agent-based workflows improve engineering work and where human judgment and controls are essential.\nExperience leading complex technical initiatives across multiple teams: setting direction, writing design proposals, making tradeoffs, coordinating dependencies, and delivering measurable outcomes.\nExperience building reliable internal platforms or developer tools, including operating production services, troubleshooting distributed systems, and reducing operational toil.\nStrong collaboration and communication skills, with a track record of mentoring engineers and influencing technical decisions across teams.\nProfessional English proficiency in verbal and written communication\nPreferred qualifications for this role include:\nExperience with AWS, Kubernetes, and infrastructure automation using tools such as Terraform.\nExperience building or integrating engineering agents or shared AI development platforms, including evaluation, access controls, and monitoring of quality, reliability, and cost.\nExperience with observability platforms and integrations such as Datadog, Sentry, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry.\nExperience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins modernization, deployment orchestration, source control automation, package management, or artifact repositories.\nExperience using software delivery metrics, such as DORA metrics, alongside developer feedback to prioritize and validate improvements.\nHow you’ll grow\nWithin 1 month, you’ll plant your roots, including:\nComplete Sprout’s onboarding and learn about our products, engineering culture, and the customers our platforms ultimately support.\nAlign with your manager on Staff-level expectations, initial priorities, and your growth goals. Build relationships with Tooling and partner teams in Poland and the US.\nLearn our CI/CD platforms, deployment tools, AI engineering workflows, and observability ecosystem, including GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Datadog.\nTrace the developer journey from local development to production. Gather feedback and establish a baseline for an initial improvement opportunity.\nWithin 3 months, you'll start hitting your stride by:\nDeliver an initial improvement to a developer workflow, with a clear baseline and evidence of its impact.\nDevelop a working understanding of our platform architecture, software delivery lifecycle, and the needs of teams using our tools.\nUse observability and pipeline data to investigate performance and reliability issues and identify recurring sources of developer friction.\nBuild the operational knowledge needed to support Tooling-owned services, troubleshoot issues, and improve their reliability.\nContribute to code and design reviews, pairing with teammates and sharing what you learn.\nUse experimentation and developer feedback to test assumptions and improve the team’s tools and ways of working.\nLead a design proposal for a cross-team initiative, aligning stakeholders on the problem, success measures, tradeoffs, dependencies, and rollout approach.\nIdentify opportunities to reduce maintenance burden through automation, simpler designs, and better self-service capabilities.\nWithin 6 months, you’ll be making a clear impact through:\nLead delivery and adoption of a meaningful improvement to CI/CD, AI development workflows, or observability across multiple engineering teams.\nPartner with product engineers to refine the solution using their feedback and support adoption through documentation, migration tooling, and hands-on collaboration.\nResolve performance or reliability bottlenecks across build, deployment, and integration environments, and use what you learn to improve shared platform patterns.\nDemonstrate measurable gains in developer experience or delivery performance while maintaining quality, security, and reliability.\nCommunicate progress, risks, and technical decisions clearly across teams, building alignment and resolving dependencies.\nMentor teammates through implementation and design decisions, and revisit your growth plan with your manager.\nWithin 12 months, you'll make this role your own by:\nBe a trusted technical partner for Tooling and the engineering teams that rely on its platforms.\nShape a multi-quarter technical roadmap with your manager and engineering partners, balancing developer needs, platform health, and strategic investment.\nLead cross-team initiatives from discovery through rollout and ongoing operation, addressing risks early and communicating tradeoffs transparently.\nGuide architecture decisions and establish reusable patterns that make development, delivery, and operations simpler across Sprout.\nDemonstrate sustained improvements in CI performance, delivery reliability, platform adoption, and developer satisfaction.\nHelp engineers grow their technical judgment and ability to lead initiatives through mentorship, pairing, and thoughtful feedback.\nBuild lasting partnerships across engineering and use them to identify the next high-impact opportunities for Tooling.\nAdvance AI-first development practices through evaluated tools and agents, clear guidance, and workshops that help engineers use them effectively and responsibly.\nBring your own ideas for improving how Sprout engineers work, and help turn the most promising ones into capabilities used across the company.\nOf course what is outlined above is the ideal timeline, but things may shift based on business needs and other projects and tasks could be added at the discretion of your manager.\nOur Benefits Program\nWe’re proud to regularly be recognized for our team, product and culture.
