About the role

As the Senior Software Engineer, Vendor Semantics & Developer Experience, you will be the primary builder of a system that treats global infrastructure as a formal graph, where every node and edge is traced back to a versioned source of truth.
You are the engineer who keeps that system honest and keeps it usable.
Your domain is vendor semantic data: the OpenAPI, Swagger, and Smithy specifications that describe what cloud providers, security tools, and infrastructure platforms expose to the world.

Own the Vendor Schema Registry: You will build and maintain the systems that ingest, parse, and version vendor API specifications like OpenAPI, Swagger, Smithy, and others.
Build the Semantic Validation Pipeline: Correctness, not throughput, is your SLO.
You will implement the validation systems that verify new and updated vendor schemas against the canonical ontology, catching mapping gaps, type conflicts, and semantic regressions before they propagate into the graph and mislead downstream consumers.
Build the Developer Experience: You will design and maintain the internal tooling, SDKs, scaffolding, and documentation systems that make it fast and safe for product teams and ingest engineers to work with this knowledge platform.
Raise the Floor for Downstream Teams: Product groups and ingest teams build on top of what you maintain.
A strong software engineering background with hands-on experience building systems that parse, validate, and transform structured specifications or schemas at scale.
Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.
Employee Networks, geographic neighborhood groups, and volunteer opportunities to build connections

Proficiency in Go, Rust, and/or Python
comfort in polyglot environments.
Deep experience with API specification formats -- OpenAPI/Swagger, Smithy, JSON Schema, or similar, including parsing, diffing, and reasoning about schema evolution.
A demonstrated instinct for developer experience, you have built internal tooling, SDKs, or frameworks that other engineers actually used, and you measure success by their productivity.

Familiarity with semantic web technologies (RDF, SHACL, OWL, SPARQL) or ontology engineering toolchains.
A background in infrastructure, cloud platform engineering, or security tooling, you know how cloud providers think about their APIs.
Experience with declarative configuration systems or code generation pipelines that translate high-level intent into low-level artifacts.
A track record of making complex internal systems more approachable, you have been the person who writes the tool or guide that makes an entire team faster.
