About the role
- As a Staff DevOps Engineer on the Developer Experience (DevEx) team, you will set the technical direction for the platforms, tooling, and workflows that every engineering team at Demandbase depends on to ship reliably to production.
- You'll act as a force multiplier at organizational scale: abstracting infrastructure complexity into paved roads, driving adoption of self-service platforms, and embedding reliability, security, costawareness, and observability.
- You are fluent with AI-assisted and agentic engineering workflows and are expected to help define how the broader engineering org adopts these tools safely and effectively.
Responsibilities
- Set and drive the technical roadmap for the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) - not just execute against one handed to you.
- Author and review RFCs/design docs that other teams adopt
- lead retrospectives and turn findings into structural fixes, not one-off patches.
- Own and evolve Demandbase's Internal Developer Platform (Backstage service/API/group catalog, goldenpath scaffolder templates, cicd-components ) as a product - measured by adoption, time-to-first-deploy, and reduction in platform-support toil.
- Partner with software, data, security, and product engineering leadership to identify systemic friction across the SDLC and resolve it through automation and platform abstraction rather than one-off fixes.
- Own the architecture of CI/CD orchestration (GitLab CI/CD, shared cicd-components ) supporting high release velocity, strong security guardrails, and local-to-production parity across the engineering org.
- Drive standardization of build, test, and deployment patterns across application and data workloads at scale.
- Author and review RFCs/design docs that other teams adopt; act as architecture reviewer for infrastructure-impacting changes org-wide.
- Serve as the escalation point for the highest-severity production incidents involving platform infrastructure; lead retrospectives and turn findings into structural fixes, not one-off patches.
- Own GitOps-based deployment strategy and evolve it as the org's service count grows.
Requirements
- Demonstrated track record operating as a technical leader across multiple teams - driving cross-team RFCs, architecture decisions, or platform strategy.
- Deep, hands-on experience designing and operating multi-account, multi-cluster Kubernetes platforms in production (EKS and/or GKE) at meaningful scale (dozens+ of services/clusters).
- Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Crossplane) and GitOps practices (Flux or Argo CD) applied at organizational scale.
- Hands-on experience with service mesh (Istio) in multi-cluster environments, including security/traffic policy.
- Working knowledge of container/supply-chain security practices (image scanning, hardened base images, vulnerability remediation).
- Experience owning or meaningfully contributing to cloud cost governance/FinOps practice.
- 10+ years of overall engineering experience, including meaningful hands-on software development (Go, Python, or Java) and 7+ years building and operating cloud infrastructure at scale.
- Strong experience building and owning observability platforms (Prometheus, Datadog, Grafana, Loki/Mimir/Thanos) with a cost-aware lens.
- Fluency with AI-assisted/agentic development tooling (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent) and informed opinions on safe, effective rollout at organizational scale.
- Solid understanding of SLIs/SLOs, alerting strategy, and incident response, with experience leading (not just participating in) blameless postmortems.
- Excellent written and verbal communication - staff-level influence runs through docs and reviews as much as code.
Nice to have
- Deep experience designing and owning CI/CD systems supporting high release velocity and strong security guardrails (GitLab CI/CD preferred).
- Experience supporting data pipeline/batch platforms (Airflow, EMR, Dataproc) is a plus.
Skills
- BUILD THE PAVED ROAD.
- Help shape the systems, standards, and developer experience that let engineering teams move quickly and safely.
