Description

  • Lead the Developer Experience team and guide its priorities in collaboration with senior engineers, the Director of Platform, and engineering leadership.
  • Mentor and support teammates to become more effective engineers and colleagues.
  • Treat the developer platform as an internal product by running surveys, measuring adoption, and prioritizing work based on user impact.
  • Balance engineering speed with business needs such as compliance, security, and incident prevention.
  • Drive the development process end to end, from coding through safe production deployment across multiple countries.
  • Evaluate AI-assisted development opportunities and introduce them only when they clearly reduce toil or improve quality.
  • Build and improve local development tooling for the Python monolith, including IDE support, containerized environments, and seed data.
  • Manage the lifecycle of internal shared Python modules, including dependency management and security updates.
  • Own CI pipelines so they remain fast, reliable, and aligned with quality gates from other teams.
  • Develop developer-facing observability and deployment tooling, including tools such as Sentry and deployment visualization UIs.

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of experience managing internal tooling or DevEx teams.
  • Strong software engineering experience, preferably in Python environments.
  • Experience treating internal tools as products, including running developer surveys, measuring adoption, and defining roadmaps based on user impact.
  • Demonstrable people-management experience in coaching, performance evaluation, mentorship, and career development.
  • Relevant project management experience with prioritization, schedule tracking, deadline management, and cross-team communication.
  • Hands-on experience with modern CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or Buildkite.
  • Experience with developer productivity tooling such as local dev environments, build systems, IDE tooling, dependency management, and developer observability.
  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes and containerized deployments, especially in deployment pipelines.
  • Familiarity with DORA metrics, the SPACE framework, or DX Core 4, and a clear point of view on what to measure.
  • Ability to work from a timezone between GMT-1 and GMT+3, or willingness to align working hours to that timezone.
  • Willingness to travel to Africa once per year for about 6 days, with Wave covering all costs.
  • Work authorization and reliable internet access for remote work from an eligible location.

Benefits

  • Remote work from anywhere within the UTC -1 to +3 timezone range.
  • Annual one-week immersion trip to Africa, with all travel costs covered.
  • Competitive salary up to $185,800 or local equivalent, depending on experience and location.
  • Generous equity package.
  • Subsidized health insurance for you and your dependents, plus retirement contributions where applicable.
  • 6 months of fully paid parental leave and subsidized fertility assistance.
  • Unlimited vacation with a 20-day minimum requirement.
  • $10,000 annual charitable donation matching.
