Partner closely with product, platform, and application engineering teams to improve developer workflows and platform usability
Champion developer experience by ensuring enablement tools are intuitive, accessible, well-documented, and aligned with user needs
Mentor and coach engineers across teams on architecture, coding standards, DevOps practices, and UI/UX considerations
Facilitate technical deep dives, design reviews, and training sessions to promote shared learning and best practices
Evaluate, prototype, and integrate new technologies that add value to the software delivery ecosystem
Contribute to internal platform roadmaps and help translate organizational goals into actionable technical initiatives
Operate with a “You Build It, You Own It” mindset, taking shared responsibility for the reliability, maintainability, and evolution of the code you help put into production

Requirements:

A minimum of 5 years as a full-stack software engineer delivering large-scale, distributed web applications
Able to act as a strategic product thinker and community builder
Proven ability to design and develop scalable backend services and RESTful APIs
Hands-on development of user-facing or internal web applications using modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue), informed by UI/UX and accessibility best practices
Working knowledge of CI/CD concepts, automation, and software delivery pipelines, including tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar
Practical expertise contributing to or operating internal developer platforms, enablement tooling, or shared services
Strong experience working with AWS (e.g., EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, EKS) and deploying applications using Docker and Kubernetes
Experience with event-driven architectures and messaging systems
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot, debug, and optimize performance across the stack
Comfort collaborating in Agile, cross-functional, and distributed or self-directed teams
