Job Description

Engineer building infrastructure for fast, autonomous feature development teams at Workweek. Focusing on safety in development processes and automating documentation, testing, and observability.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the AI context layer — write and maintain CLAUDE.md and skill files with the same rigor you'd apply to a CI/CD pipeline. These are the primary guardrail for non-engineers using Claude Code.
  • Own the CI/CD layer — feature flag enforcement, automated PR review, Playwright smoke tests, Cloudwatch alerts.
  • Enforce frontend standards automatically — not through checklists, but through gates that reject non-compliant code before it merges.
  • Keep observability tight — automated alerting on platform changes and key experiment metrics, so regressions surface before anyone notices.
  • Contribute to dead code removal on both frontend and backend, reducing the risk surface and giving Claude a cleaner codebase to reason about.
  • Automate documentation so it stays in sync with the codebase — Claude should never be working off stale context.
  • Help close out the ongoing Rails to AWS migration, a dependency for the broader platform guardrails work.
  • Contribute to the shared infrastructure that makes the whole team faster, not just your own work.

Requirements:

  • 4 or more years of experience in platform, DevEx, or infrastructure engineering, with strong CI/CD depth — GitHub Actions, automated testing pipelines, enforcement gates
  • Enough frontend range to write meaningful automated PR review rules, enforce component standards, and understand what a missing feature flag actually means in practice
  • AWS and observability fluency — Cloudwatch, alerting, and a working model of what platform changes can break and how to detect it fast
  • Experience working in a lean, fast-moving codebase — you know how to add guardrails without adding drag, and you default to automation over process
  • Claude Code or Cursor experience — you've used AI-assisted coding in a real codebase and understand how context quality affects output quality. Writing CLAUDE.md is not a novelty to you.
  • High agency. You identify the risk surface and close it without waiting to be asked.
  • Bonus: You've written skill files or system prompts that encode domain-specific rules, worked on a Rails codebase through an AWS migration, or built tools that let non-engineers ship safely without needing to ask an engineer every time.

Benefits:

  • Competitive pay (we don't pay based on location, we assign value to the role)
  • Equity in Workweek
  • Remote operations with the ability to work in the time zone of your choice (or work IRL in our Austin, TX office)
  • Unlimited PTO with a minimum of 3 days/quarter used
  • 100% health insurance coverage, 75% coverage for dependents, and $150/month towards an HSA (or $150/month health stipend if insurance not used)
  • 120 days of parental leave to use within one year of childbirth (available 12 months after your start date and only available every 365 days)
  • 401(k) plan with 3.5% company match
  • $500 one-time stipend for any home office needs used after the first 90 days
  • 5-week sabbatical after 4 years on staff
  • 2 volunteering days per year
  • 1x/year in-person team retreat
  • $100/month book stipend
