Software engineering experience, with deep expertise in developer tooling, internal platforms, or infrastructure.
Proven track record in designing and delivering scalable internal tools, service scaffolding, CI/CD pipelines, or developer platforms.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform), observability stacks, and secure software delivery pipelines.
Deep understanding of software lifecycle needs across diverse engineering environments (microservices, monorepos, APIs, etc.).
Responsibilities
Define and execute the long-term vision for Developer Experience, aligned with platform strategy, engineering velocity goals, and company-wide transformation efforts.
Architect and guide the development of internal tools, templates, and platforms that accelerate service creation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
Codify production readiness, security, observability, and compliance requirements into reusable frameworks and automation workflows.
Lead efforts to create and evolve the internal developer platform and service portal, enabling self-service capabilities and streamlined onboarding.
Partner with product engineering, infrastructure, security, and SRE teams to ensure DevEx tooling integrates smoothly into the engineering ecosystem.
Coach engineers across teams, drive architectural reviews, and champion DevEx best practices through documentation, workshops, and technical leadership.
Establish metrics for developer experience (e.g., onboarding time, deploy success rates), gather feedback, and iterate on solutions based on real-world usage.
Other
Bachelor’s or Graduate degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
15+ years of professional software development experience.
Exceptional ability to lead and influence across teams and roles, driving alignment and adoption of shared standards and tooling.
