- Partner across teams to standardise workflows, enable self-serve integrations, and reduce cross-team friction.
- Instrument and improve define DX metrics (lead time, build time, flakiness), run experiments, and iterate based on data.
- Improve reliability and safety with sensible defaults—observability, guardrails, and secure-by-default patterns.
What We Are Looking For
- Experience with Kotlin/Java in production (JVM performance, testing, dependency management).
- Solid grasp of cloud-native engineering (containers, Kubernetes; AWS/IaC a plus).
- Pragmatic approach to developer platforms, internal tooling, and CI/CD at scale.
- Nice to have: exposure to Go and interest in multi-language ecosystems.
