- Partner with SRE and Infra teams to build resilient, self-healing, observable systems.
- Own the creation and maintenance of internal developer tools, SDKs, frameworks, and automation.
- Ensure the reliability, performance, and scalability of development infrastructure.
- Establish and enforce engineering best practices across teams, including documentation and training.
- Partner with Security to embed secure-by-default patterns into the platform.
- Partner with Product to align DevEx improvements with business priorities.
- Work with leadership to define KPIs for developer productivity and continuously measure impact.
What We’re Looking For:
- 10+ years of engineering experience, including senior-level ownership of DevEx, Developer Platforms, DevOps, or CI/CD.
- Demonstrated success leading engineering teams.
- Expert-level proficiency in Python, Go, Bash or similar languages.
- Deep experience with AWS and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible).
- Mastery of modern CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, FluxCD, Harness).
- Strong background in production release automation, deployment safety, rollback strategy, and release governance.
- Experience in financial services, crypto, or other regulated, high-security environments.
- Strong communication skills and ability to operate across a broad technical and executive audience.
- Highly execution-driven with a track record of delivering measurable improvements.
Bonus Points:
- Advanced expertise in containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with developer-facing observability and telemetry (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
- Experience building internal platforms or paved-road developer workflows.
- Proficiency with GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Copilot, and productivity-focused AI tooling.
- Experience with artifact management platforms (JFrog Artifactory).
