Senior AI DevEx Engineer
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior AI Developer Experience Engineer to accelerate the AI tooling transformation that enables our teams to build, test, and ship with speed and confidence. You'll treat developer experience as a product - defining the strategy, driving platform adoption, and delivering measurable improvements to productivity, quality, and reliability across the software development lifecycle.
This is a high-impact individual contributor role. You'll partner with senior engineering leaders across the organisation, influence standards and tooling decisions, and champion platform-first thinking - turning developer pain points into durable, scalable solutions that benefit hundreds of engineers.
Some of the things you'll do:
Define and drive DevEx strategy across engineering organizations, partnering with senior leaders to align investments with business priorities
Design, implement, and optimise CI/CD pipelines and lifecycle automation platforms
Build developer tools and automation to simplify and expedite the software development lifecycle from requirements through release
Define and promote golden paths for building, deploying, and operating services
Reduce tooling fragmentation through consolidation, strong defaults, and principled standardisation
Identify and eliminate friction across build, test, deployment, and operations workflows
Improve and maintain core infrastructure across multi-cloud and hybrid environments
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive best practices in reliability, testability, and performance
Represent DevEx strategy in senior technical forums and drive engineering culture improvements
Iterate on evaluation frameworks that keep automation, AI-assisted tooling, and coding agents reliable and aligned with sound software engineering practices
About You
8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years focused on developer productivity, platform engineering, or internal tooling
Strong hands-on coding skills in one or more modern languages such as Python, Go, Java, TypeScript, Kotlin, or Swift
Deep experience with CI/CD systems, build infrastructure, testing frameworks, and deployment automation
Demonstrated ability to influence engineering practices across multiple teams or organisations
Exposure to AI-assisted engineering workflows, coding agents, or LLM evaluation pipelines
Experience improving developer productivity at a company with hundreds or thousands of engineers
Experience identifying, measuring, and systematically eliminating friction in the software development lifecycle
Ability to balance standardisation with developer autonomy - knowing when to enforce defaults and when to empower teams
Proven track record of translating technical strategy into measurable outcomes
Experience operating critical systems with high reliability, observability, and availability requirements
Clear and effective communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and leadership audiences
Nice to have:
Experience building and scaling internal developer platforms as products (e.g., Backstage or similar portals)
Experience with application lifecycle management or automation at enterprise scale
Passion for engineering excellence and a track record of raising the technical bar across teams
Compensation
The annual base salary range for this position is as follow, plus equity and benefits:
SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Boston, New York, and Washington, DC Metro: $187,000 - $220,000 USD
