Job description
Distinguished Engineer – Developer Experience Engineering
Company Overview
brk tech is a new kind of technology organization within Berkshire Hathaway—built to empower world-class businesses with accelerated adoption of technologies and artificial intelligence at the bleeding edge of innovation. Our mission is to help operating companies evolve from technology buyers into builders by infusing tech talent in their organizations, identifying common design patterns, developing reusable reference architectures, and unlocking the power of shared intellectual property.
Job Summary
We are seeking a Distinguished Engineer in Developer Experience (DevEx) to define and build the next generation of engineering environments for the AI era. This role goes beyond traditional tooling—focusing on architecting autonomous, agentic ecosystems where developers operate in a continuous state of flow, supported by AI collaborators that reason, act, and self-correct.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and implement company-wide DevEx architecture, enabling seamless integration of AI agents into the software development lifecycle
- Build and standardize agentic-native development frameworks, including APIs aligned with emerging protocols such as Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- Architect and operationalize multi-agent orchestration systems (“agentic meshes”) to enable autonomous collaboration across specialized agents
- Drive adoption of context-driven engineering practices, including repository intelligence and GraphRAG-based retrieval systems for precise, explainable outputs
- Establish “review-first” development workflows, where AI-generated code is continuously validated through automated quality gates and human oversight
- Develop platforms for asynchronous agent workflows, enabling background task execution (e.g., code annotation, design feedback, test generation)
- Design and deploy DevEx analytics systems to measure AI-driven productivity, code quality, and technical debt across subsidiaries
- Optimize infrastructure for AI-assisted development, including hybrid architectures leveraging on-device models and cloud-based reasoning systems
Requirements / Qualifications
- 15+ years of experience in software engineering, developer platforms, or infrastructure, with advanced degrees in computer science or related fields
- Deep expertise in developer tooling, IDE ecosystems, CI/CD pipelines, and platform engineering at scale
- Strong experience with AI-assisted development frameworks and agent orchestration systems (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar paradigms)
- Proficiency in building context-aware systems, including knowledge graphs and advanced retrieval techniques such as GraphRAG
- Experience designing automated quality, security, and governance systems for large-scale engineering organizations
- Familiarity with hybrid AI architectures, including on-device small language models and cloud-based large model orchestration
- Strong understanding of performance optimization, latency reduction, and cost-efficient AI infrastructure design
- US citizenship and residency in one of the lower 48 states required
