Builder, Instructure Foundry
At Instructure
What you will do
• Own the architectural integrity of the product. If it ships, you stand behind it.
• Take responsibility for code quality, security, and scalability across agentically generated code, leveraging the shared harness so you're not rebuilding plumbing.
• Build hands-on in Git with AI development tooling, moving at pilot pace early and hardening the product as it heads toward general availability.
• Direct and verify far more code than you hand-write, and catch what matters before it ships.
• Decide what's safe to ship now and what genuinely needs a closer look, and own that judgment.
• Write context back to the shared system so the Founder and the operating team work off the same surface, not guesswork.
• Partner closely with a non-technical Founder, translating between product intent and what the system can actually do.
What you’ll need to know/have
• Proven experience shipping production software and owning its reliability and security in the real world.
• Senior engineering judgment: you direct and verify AI output at high volume rather than authoring every line.
• Fluency, or fast-developing fluency, with AI-assisted development.
• Comfort owning security and scale yourself, without a platform team as a backstop.
• A product mindset - you care that the thing works for the customer, not just that it compiles.
• The instinct to move at pilot pace without shipping something that falls over the day it scales.
