What this role is

This role leads measurement and strategy for developer productivity at an AI-first company, investigating how AI tools actually change the speed and efficiency of engineering work. It suits someone who combines strong technical data skills with the ability to ask hard questions about causality in a fast-moving space where the metrics themselves are still being invented.

What they ask for

Required
