Senior Developer Productivity Engineer

Responsibilities

• Automate CI/CD pipelines for zero-downtime deployments (e.g., Canary, Blue/Green).
  • Create smart pipelines encouraging reusable workflows and simplicity.
• Streamline build/test/deploy workflows.
• Build shared tooling (CLIs, codegen, IDE plugins) to accelerate teams.
• Reduce friction (e.g., faster builds, hot-reload, test tooling).
• Collaborate with developers to identify pain points and streamline workflows.
• Champion best practices through documentation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field or 5+ years of industry experience in DevOps/SRE, developer tooling, or infrastructure engineering.
• Proficiency in Python, Go, and JavaScript/TypeScript (for tooling, automation, and FE enablement).
• Strong experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Gitops methodology) for building scalable, reusable pipelines.
• Experience with local dev environment tooling (e.g., Skaffold) and containerized development workflows.
• Experience with creating starter templates in coordination with engineering for enabling rapid spin up of new services.
• Strong ownership and a builder mindset, you love creating tools others rely on.
• Problem-solving rigor and attention to detail (e.g., diagnosing flaky tests, build latency).

Nice to have

• Kubernetes expertise (EKS, K3s) and optimizing containerized builds.
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi).
• Front-end tooling familiarity (e.g., React, Next.js, Jest) to optimize FE dev workflows.
• Monitoring/observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Honeycomb) to debug bottlenecks.
