What's the opportunity?
Fin wins by shipping quickly with confidence. Shipping is our heartbeat.
Builder Tools (Developer Experience Platform) is the team that makes shipping delightful: fast, reliable, and low-toil for hundreds of engineers. We own CI/CD, developer and AI workflows, build and test infrastructure, feature flagging, and observability for shipping pipelines. We’re the platform team that prevents duplicated work across engineering.
You will lead and grow a team that builds the systems and tooling enabling Fin to move fast and safely. With AI dramatically accelerating our delivery needs, this role is more critical than ever.

What will I be doing?
- Lead the Builder Tools engineering team: hire, coach, set outcomes, remove blockers, and build a high-performance culture.
- Own the developer experience: define SLOs, build cost models, and measure DX with the same rigor we apply to customer-facing products.
- Collaborate closely with domain experts and other parts of R&D, earning trust through deep domain expertise.
- Drive strategic initiatives and deliver high-impact projects reliably and efficiently.
- Eliminate manual work, integrate modern AI-assisted developer tooling, and raise the bar so it is hard to do the wrong thing (90% of code is already written by Claude).
- Represent Builder Tools across engineering and beyond, evangelize tooling improvements, and remove organizational barriers to adoption.
- Be a pragmatic technical leader: make architecture decisions, review designs, and remove technical risk while empowering the team to deliver.
- Adapt and thrive across functions to ensure objectives are met, frequently stepping beyond traditional boundaries to drive results.
