You will partner closely with engineering, security, infrastructure, and product to build a world-class developer platform tailored for high-velocity teams operating in a regulated, security-sensitive financial or crypto environment.
What You’ll Do:
- Serve as the primary champion of developer experience, setting a long-term DevEx vision and roadmap.
- Work directly with engineers to deeply understand pain points, workflow inefficiencies, and systemic barriers to productivity.
- Translate developer problems into scalable tooling, automation, and platform features.
- Lead and mentor a high-performing CI/CD engineering team responsible for all build, deploy, and release automation.
- Architect and deliver a frictionless, touchless deployment platform supporting rapid, safe, auditable releases into production.
- Implement industry-grade release automation, rollback strategies, environment standardization, and compliance guardrails.
- Ensure all developer platforms, pipelines, and supporting infrastructure meet rigorous availability, continuity, and DR requirements.
- Partner with SRE and Infra teams to build resilient, self-healing, observable systems.
- Own the creation and maintenance of internal developer tools, SDKs, frameworks, and automation.
- Ensure the reliability, performance, and scalability of development infrastructure.
- Establish and enforce engineering best practices across teams, including documentation and training.
- Partner with Security to embed secure-by-default patterns into the platform.
- Partner with Product to align DevEx improvements with business priorities.
