TL;DR · Technical Leader - CX Engineering Productivity

Job Requisition 2021591 Technical Leader - CX Engineering Productivity joins the Engineering Productivity team to enhance developer experience by building internal platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and automated tooling. This role involves designing self-service infrastructure, optimizing inner loops with dev containers, and integrating AI-assisted development workflows into the daily toolchain. The candidate will manage build systems using Bazel and monorepo tools while ensuring platform reliability through robust quality gates and observability. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python, Go, or Java, along with experience in GitOps platforms like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and ArgoCD. Additionally, the role requires expertise in Infrastructure as Code via Terraform or CloudFormation, and cloud-native environments including Kubernetes across AWS, Azure, and GCP. The position focuses on solving friction in software delivery by creating paved roads for engineers to build, test, and release code faster.

What you'll do

  • Design and manage self-service internal developer platforms to provide "paved roads" for automated provisioning and deployment.
  • Optimize the inner development loop by providing fast local and cloud environments with rapid feedback cycles.
  • Modernize CI/CD pipelines by implementing build caching, merge queues, and automated quality gates.
  • Integrate AI-assisted tools into the standard developer toolchain to accelerate coding, reviewing, and testing workflows.
  • Establish and monitor key performance metrics like DORA and SPACE to measure and improve developer experience.
  • Ensure the reliability and high availability of internal infrastructure, build systems, and developer tooling.
  • Act as a technical liaison to align engineering productivity goals across product, security, and operations teams.
  • Mentor and coach engineers on platform engineering practices, automation, and modern software delivery techniques.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 10+ years of experience in engineering productivity, developer platforms, DevOps, build/release, or infrastructure engineering.
  • Must demonstrate a progression in technical leadership.
  • Must hold a BS or MS in Engineering, STEM, or a related field.
  • Must have a proven track record of designing and implementing developer platforms, tooling, or CI/CD and build systems for multiple teams.
  • Experience building internal developer platforms, platform-as-a-service offerings, or developer portals (preferred).
  • Experience in productivity measurement and delivery practices, including DORA metrics, SLOs, quality gates, and CI/CD (preferred).
  • Expertise with CI/CD and GitOps platforms, modern build systems, and infrastructure as code tools (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, or Java with strong scripting and automation skills (preferred).
