- Continuously evaluate emerging AI development tools and APIs for integration into developer workflows.
- Establish best practices, patterns, and reusable tooling for CI/CD pipelines, local development environments, and cloud-native deployments.
- Reduce cognitive load by abstracting complexity in infrastructure, testing, and release management.
- Drive self-service capabilities for engineers to provision environments, run tests, and deploy without heavy manual intervention.
- Partner with product teams to optimize feedback loops, ensuring faster iteration cycles and higher-quality releases.
- Measure and improve DORA and developer productivity metrics, using data to inform improvements.
- Lead internal developer education and enablement initiatives, ensuring all engineers can leverage new tools and processes effectively.
- Evaluate and implement security, compliance, and observability best practices into the developer workflow.
- Ensure responsible and secure use of AI-powered tools in accordance with organizational AI governance policies.
- Advocate for and contribute to an engineering culture of continuous improvement.
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in platform, developer experience, or DevOps-related roles.
- Proven track record of delivering developer productivity and platform engineering initiatives at scale.
- Strong background in CI/CD, cloud-native development (AWS, Azure, or GCP), and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
- Expertise in AI-powered development tooling (e.g., GitHub Copilot, OpenAI API integrations, AI-assisted testing frameworks).
- Solid understanding of software delivery metrics (DORA, SPACE framework) and how to improve them.
- Proficiency in at least one major programming language (Java, Go, Python, or similar) and modern infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.).
- Experience setting up new platform or DX functions from scratch and influencing technical direction.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to bridge gaps between infrastructure teams and product engineers.
- Experience in multi-team engineering organizations where developer enablement was a core focus.
- Familiarity with Team Topologies and developer cognitive load reduction strategies.
- Prior work integrating observability, monitoring, and logging into developer-facing systems.
- Experience with event-driven architectures and microservices.
- Hands-on experience with secure software supply chain practices (SBOMs, artifact signing, etc.).
- Month 1–2: You have established the initial developer experience baseline, gathered feedback from engineers, and work with leaders to define a clear roadmap.
- Month 3: Show us what you’re capable of by delivering a few quick wins.
- Month 4-6: Execute on the first wave of developer experience improvements (e.g., AI-assisted workflows, faster value delivery, improved onboarding) are adopted across teams.
- Year 1: The developer platform is widely used, DORA metrics show measurable improvement, and engineers report significantly reduced friction in daily workflows.
- Opportunity to build a developer experience function from the ground up.
- High impact—your work directly accelerates the velocity of our entire engineering organization.
- Collaborative, forward-thinking culture that values automation, continuous improvement, and AI innovation.
- Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a strong commitment to work-life balance.
