Senior Engineer, AI Developer Tools (Remote)

About the position Tealium is seeking a Senior Engineer, AI Developer Tools, to shape the vision, design, and rollout of our next-generation AI-driven developer tools. This is a high-impact role at the core of a strategic initiative to modernize Tealium’s engineering ecosystem, enabling teams with intelligent, automated, and scalable tooling. In this role, you will directly empower Tealium’s development teams to innovate faster, enhance code quality, and dramatically increase engineering productivity through AI. This is a unique opportunity to lead a critical strategic initiative, influence technical direction, and foster an AI-first engineering culture across the organization. As the driving force behind AI Developer Tools, your work will accelerate both engineering and business velocity by: Accelerating Product Modernization: Automating key software lifecycle elements using tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and AWS Q to tackle technical debt faster—projects may include AWS SDK migrations, Java 21 upgrades, and other modernization initiatives. Unlocking an AI-First Engineering Culture: Leading internal pilots with GitHub Copilot, Glean, and similar tools to achieve 2–3x speed improvements on repetitive tasks such as monolith decomposition and legacy code refactoring, transforming technical debt into manageable tasks and freeing engineers to focus on innovation. This role is perfect for a visionary technologist passionate about leveraging AI to redefine developer productivity and shape the future of engineering at Tealium.

Responsibilities

• Drive AI-Powered Refactoring of Monolithic Platform Components: Spearhead initiatives to break up legacy systems, streamline architecture, and reduce production incidents, accelerating modernization across Tealium’s platform.
• Design and Implement AI-Enhanced Code Review and Test Automation: Develop automated unit tests, improve test coverage, and eliminate manual QA bottlenecks, enabling faster, higher-quality releases.
• Lead Measurement and Adoption of AI Tools: Establish AI scorecards, adoption KPIs, and metrics to track reductions in time-to-market, engineering efficiency improvements, and code quality gains (e.g., tickets closed per release, bug rates, code review cycle times), providing actionable insights to R&D leadership.
• Evaluate and integrate best-in-class AI technologies—from code generation to test automation—to create a seamless and efficient engineering experience.
• Serve as a technical authority and thought leader across the engineering org, promoting best practices and influencing decisions at all levels.
• Own and drive large-scale modernization initiatives, partnering with other senior engineers to ensure adoption, scalability, and measurable impact.
• Stay current with emerging AI and developer productivity trends, continuously pushing the boundaries of what’s possible within our platform.

Requirements

• 6+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years leading large-scale internal tooling, platform engineering, or modernization efforts.
• Proven success designing and delivering AI-powered developer tools—beyond experimentation—with real-world impact on team velocity and quality.
• Deep understanding of modern software development practices, languages, and environments (e.g., Java, TypeScript, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure).
• Experience working in enterprise-scale engineering organizations with complex systems and diverse engineering teams.
• Strong architecture and system design skills, with the ability to make build-vs-buy decisions and scale tooling across orgs.
• Demonstrated ability to influence with authority, collaborate across disciplines, and lead by example in a senior or principal engineering capacity.
• A passion for improving the developer experience and a practical mindset toward applying AI to solve real engineering problems.
• Familiarity with tools like GitHub Copilot, CodeWhisperer, or other generative AI platforms—ideally with experience leading their adoption at scale.
