About the role
- Build Developer Paved Paths: Architect frameworks, SDKs, and self-service tooling that streamline development, testing, deployment, and documentation workflows.
- Feature Flags & Dev Tooling: Lead the development of feature flagging systems, local dev tools, CLI utilities, scaffolding tools, and inner dev loop automation (linters, pre-commit hooks).
- Knowledge Flow & Standards: Build systems for documentation automation, onboarding portals, and changelog tooling; define and evolve engineering standards, definition of done, and tech radar. Use AI to reduce manual overhead and keep knowledge always up to date.
- Developer Insights: Deliver systems that surface actionable DX insights (e.g., surveys, telemetry, workflow analytics) and explore AI-powered insights to continuously improve the developer journey.
- QA Platform Evolution: Enable and multiply test automation owned directly by software engineers by providing frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Testkube), test reporting (Allure), and performance testing capabilities. Leverage AI to accelerate test creation, reduce flakiness, and improve efficiency across the engineering organization.
- Common Platforms: Contribute to shared libraries, event bridge, and internal frameworks that unify the developer experience across teams.
- Mentor & Multiply: Elevate engineers across teams by sharing expertise, driving adoption of best practices, and influencing architectural decisions.

- Experience with or strong interest in AI-driven developer tooling (e.g., automated documentation, test generation, developer insights, support systems).
- Exposure to Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) such as Backstage, Port.io, or similar.
- Hands-on experience with feature flag platforms and rollout strategies (e.g., LaunchDarkly, Statsig).
- Experience driving test automation and code coverage at scale, enabling product teams to own quality.
- Solid background in CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and developer workflow automation.
- Proven ability to design and deliver scalable tools and platforms used across large engineering organizations.
