Description
The Hivemind Development Platform team seeks to improve the development velocity of Hivemind teams and customers by building the core tooling, package management, build systems, and developer workflows used across the Hivemind SDK ecosystem.
This team owns the customer-facing developer experience for installing, building, packaging, releasing, and consuming Hivemind SDK components. The team owns a standardized package manager built within Nix that is used to ship the SDK and enable customers to build their own packages against the SDK.
The Hivemind Development Platform Manager will lead this team as they work with product teams, internal engineers, and customers to identify friction in SDK development workflows and turn those needs into scalable product-facing platform features and self-service capabilities.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading and growing the Hivemind Development Platform team
- Coaching and developing engineers, managing performance, and fostering a culture of technical excellence, user empathy, ownership, and continuous improvement
- Setting strategic direction for the Hivemind developer platform, in partnership with Product, Architecture, Software Operations, and engineering leadership
- Owning the developer platform roadmap, including SDK package management, Nix-based build infrastructure, developer environments, toolchains, target platforms, package distribution, and release workflows
- Driving cross-functional collaboration with Pilot, EdgeOS, Forge, SoftOps, and customer-facing teams to understand friction points and convert them into clear platform requirements
- Overseeing architecture decisions for the standardized Hivemind package manager, CLI, package repository services, toolchain definitions, and reproducible build environments
- Ensuring the platform supports multi-language SDK development across C++, Python, Go, and TypeScript
- Defining metrics and signals for SDK developer productivity, package reliability, build reproducibility, release quality, and customer adoption
- Representing the voice of SDK developers in engineering planning by championing ease-of-use, reproducibility, reliability, and clear ownership across the Hivemind ecosystem
