About the role

Senior Software Engineer II on the Developer Experience team at Instacart, focusing on internal tooling, platforms, and infrastructure to improve engineering productivity, reliability, and experience at scale.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain internal developer tooling, platforms, and infrastructure that improve the productivity, reliability, and experience of engineering teams across Instacart.
  • Own complex technical initiatives end-to-end, from scoping and architecture through implementation, rollout, and iteration — operating with a high degree of autonomy and accountability.
  • Identify friction points in the developer experience through data, feedback, and direct collaboration with engineering teams, and drive solutions that meaningfully reduce toil and improve velocity at scale.
  • Contribute to the technical direction of the team, participating in design reviews, code reviews, and architectural discussions that shape how Instacart builds and scales its internal platforms.
  • Thrive in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where priorities can shift and where the ability to adapt quickly and make sound technical decisions under uncertainty is a genuine asset.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong track record of delivering complex technical systems in production environments.
  • Proficiency in one or more backend languages commonly used in platform or infrastructure contexts (e.g., Go, Ruby, Python, Java, or similar).
  • Golang, Python, or Typescript language experience
  • Experience building or contributing to developer tooling, internal platforms, CI/CD systems, or developer productivity infrastructure.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects independently, including scoping, designing, and delivering solutions with cross-functional impact.
