Job Description: About the Role

We are seeking a Staff DevEx (Developer Experience) Software Engineer to elevate the effectiveness, velocity, and satisfaction of our engineering organization. This is a high impact, high ‑visibility‑ technical leadership role focused on reducing friction across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) through automation, self-service tooling, improved CI/CD maturity, and thoughtful systems design‑.

As a Staff DevEx Engineer, you will operate as both a builder and an influencer—shaping the direction of engineering-wide capabilities while driving adoption through trust, partnership, and technical leadership. You will partner across Engineering, Product, Design, and Security to ensure teams can deliver high-quality software rapidly, confidently, and at scale.

This role is ideal for a Staff-level engineer who thrives in ambiguous, cross-team problem spaces and enjoys empowering hundreds of developers through elegant tooling, platform capabilities, and automation.

What You’ll Do

Developer Experience Platform & Automation

Build and own tools, automation, and shared systems that remove friction from the SDLC—including repo access automation, environment/bootstrap tooling, build pipeline templates, and shared CI/CD components.
Create platform-level abstractions that allow teams to move faster without reinventing common patterns.
Technical Leadership Across Multiple Teams

Act as the technical expert for Developer Experience—driving standards, patterns, and foundational capabilities across multiple engineering teams.
Provide architectural guidance for systems that support large-scale engineering operations (CI/CD pipelines, SRE tooling, test frameworks, shared libraries, infrastructure automation, etc.).
Drive adoption of DevEx tooling by influencing without authority—earning trust through data, clarity, and high quality‑quality technical delivery.
Quality, Reliability, and Observability

Guide engineering teams in instrumenting, measuring, and monitoring key SDLC performance indicators such as build times, failure rates, deployment success rates, and developer feedback loops.
Support zero-downtime and high-resilience development workflows through continuous improvement of deployment automation and rollback/roll-forward capabilities.
Mentorship, Coaching, and Technical Influence

Mentor engineers and teams on best practices in automation, testing, CI/CD, and platform engineering.
Act as a calming force during high-emotion or ambiguous technical discussions—driving objective, fact based‑based decision-making rooted in measurable value.
Demonstrate leadership behaviors across all interactions: clarity, composure, strong written communication, and an elevated ability to translate between technical detail and broader business value.
Strategic Engineering Impact

Look ahead 6–12 months to anticipate architectural or organizational gaps, proposing strategic DevEx investments that improve engineering velocity at scale.
Coordinate across Product, Security, SRE, and Engineering Leadership to ensure alignment between technical direction and company goals.
Lead multi-team efforts with effective delegation, scaling yourself through influence and clear communication rather than individual execution alone.
What Success Looks Like

In this role, you will:

Reduce SDLC cycle times and eliminate common sources of engineering friction.
Increase adoption of shared DevEx tooling across the organization.
Improve build reliability, developer onboarding time, and overall engineering productivity.
Establish yourself as the technical leader and trusted partner for DevEx initiatives.
Provide clarity and technical direction in cross-team conversations—especially when stakes or emotions run high.
Deliver lasting engineering capabilities that unlock higher performance across multiple teams, not just one.
Experience:

7+ years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on NodeJS, React, C# .NET
Proven track record operating at Lead/Staff Engineer level, with ownership over large technical domains.
Strong architectural thinking and ability to drive design for cross-team systems.
Exceptional written and verbal communication with the ability to influence without authority.
Passion for improving developer experience and removing friction through elegant engineering solutions.
Strong hands- on experience with CI/CD, build systems, and deployment automation
Experience with cloud computing platforms and services, such as application hosting, serverless functions, storage, and managed databases.
Familiarity with Azure Services is a bonus.
This position pays between 148,800 to $223,200 based on experience
