Evaluate the impact of AI on delivery speed, quality, and developer satisfaction, and use that evidence to guide the platform roadmap
Partner with security, CI/CD, and application engineering teams to align on standards without creating bottlenecks
Contribute to the evolution of our developer portal and platform products
Qualifications
Required
7+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3 years in a platform engineering or developer experience role at a mid-to-large engineering organization
Experience designing and operating opinionated systems at scale, the kind that hundreds of engineers depend on daily. Background at companies with strong platform cultures (e.g., Spotify, Netflix, Stripe, Uber, Airbnb) is strongly preferred
A track record of reducing developer toil through automation, not just documentation or guidelines
A working understanding of AI-driven SDLC models, including how AI tools and agents change the way code is written, reviewed, tested, secured, and shipped, along with the risks and governance considerations that come with them
Strong written communication skills. This role produces tooling that must be self-explanatory, and documentation is part of the deliverable
The ability to work cross-functionally with security, CI/CD, and application engineering teams to align on standards without creating bottlenecks
Preferred
Experience with Backstage or similar developer portal frameworks
Familiarity with enterprise compliance requirements, including audit trails, change evidence, and vulnerability scanning integration
Hands-on experience integrating LLM-based or agentic tools into developer workflows and CI/CD pipelines
Experience measuring engineering effectiveness (e.g., DORA metrics, lead time for change, delivery velocity)
