About the role
- Architecting the Platform Evolution: Designing the templates and workflows that will move hundreds of microservices onto GitHub Actions.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Meeting with product squads to identify friction points and writing technical RFCs to solve them.
- Data-Driven Optimization: Analyzing DORA/DX metrics to prove that your tools have increased delivery experience (speed, stability, flow).
- Mentoring: Levelling up our mid-level and associate engineers through pairing and high-standard code reviews.
Requirements
- Programming Knowledge: You'll spend time writing high-quality Go code to build APIs, CLIs, tools and automation providers, but we are open to anyone with a deep knowledge of a similar language (Java, Kotlin, .Net)
- Platform Visionary: You don’t just "deploy stuff for people"; you build the self-service platforms that allow people to easily deploy stuff for themselves.
- CI/CD Specialist: Deep, production-level experience with GitHub Actions and Jenkins is essential. You’ve ideally navigated a migration between the two before.
- Infrastructure Native: You are a power user of Kubernetes and AWS (including Lambdas). You understand the "why" behind the architecture, not just the "how."
- Proactive Communicator: You are comfortable presenting to stakeholders, writing clear documentation, and acting as the "face" of the DevX team.
- The "Product" Mindset: You have experience with measuring success based on quantitate and qualitative metrics (developer sentiment, speed, cost), not by tickets closed.
Benefits
- flexible ways of working
- face-to-face collaboration
- good work-life balance
- option of working from abroad for up to 120 days a year
