Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes.
You will own two interconnected functions: Infrastructure Services (CI/CD orchestration, GitOps continuous delivery, artifact management, and related platforms) and Developer Tooling (the teams that design and operate our CI/CD pipelines and internal developer platform).
Critically, you will also define and execute our strategy for integrating AI across the software development lifecycle, from AI-assisted code generation and review to AI-driven engineering intelligence platforms.
Developer experience is one of the highest-leverage investments an engineering organization can make, and AI is the largest shift in how software is built in a generation.
The Director of Developer Experience will directly shape how hundreds of engineers spend their day, how quickly we ship, how confidently we operate in production, and how effectively we harness AI across the SDLC.
This is a critically important role with executive visibility and a clear mandate to deliver measurable results.
What Will You Do?
Primary responsibilities include:
Own the strategy and rollout of AI tooling across the SDLC, including AI coding assistants, AI code review and PR automation, AI-assisted test generation, and AI engineering intelligence platforms. Drive adoption, measure impact, and ensure these tools are deployed safely and effectively.
Ensure the availability, performance, and security of the systems that engineers depend on every day.
Drive the evolution of CI/CD pipelines to be faster, more reliable, more self-service, and more secure, including embedding AI capabilities such as automated triage, intelligent test selection, and AI-assisted incident response.
Recruit, mentor, and retain exceptional engineering leaders and individual contributors.
