The Staff Software Engineer - Developer Experience (CI/CD & Platform Enablement) is responsible for elevating engineering productivity at scale by designing, standardizing, and evolving our CI/CD platforms and infrastructure workflows.
 
This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering and developer enablement, with a primary focus on modern CI/CD systems (including GitHub Actions) and infrastructure as code using Terraform.This role is less focused on operating production systems directly, and more focused on building paved roads that make it easy, safe, and fast for product engineering teams to build, test, and deploy software.
 
You will define standards, reduce friction in the software delivery lifecycle, and create self-service infrastructure patterns that scale across teams. You will partner with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure the software development lifecycle is secure, automated, observable, and optimized for speed and reliability. As a staff-level engineer, you will also mentor senior engineers and influence architectural decisions across the organization.
  • Define and execute the long-term strategy for CI/CD across the organization, with primary ownership of our GitHub Actions ecosystem.
  • Architect reusable workflow templates, composite actions, and standardized deployment pipelines.
  • Establish guardrails for secure, compliant, and scalable build and release processes.
  • Drive pipeline performance optimization (build times, caching strategies, parallelization, artifact management).
    • Infrastructure as Code & Self-Service Enablement
  • Lead the design and evolution of infrastructure modules and patterns built in Terraform.
  • Create opinionated, reusable Terraform modules that abstract complexity and enforce best practices.
  • Partner with security to embed policy-as-code and compliance automation into infrastructure workflows.
  • Enable self-service infrastructure provisioning through standardized pipelines.
    • SDLC Optimization & Engineering Productivity
  • Instrument the software development lifecycle and use data to drive improvements in deployment frequency, lead time, failure rates, and recovery time.
  • Introduce automation that eliminates repetitive developer tasks.
  • Improve local-to-cloud parity and streamline branch-to-production workflows.
  • Champion trunk-based development, release automation, and progressive delivery practices.
    • Platform Governance & Cross-Team Leadership
  • Set CI/CD and infrastructure standards across multiple product lines.
  • Lead multi-team initiatives such as pipeline migrations, CI/CD consolidation, and IaC modernization efforts.
  • Publish internal documentation, reference architectures, diagrams, and enablement materials.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to engineering leadership on delivery velocity, platform scalability, and developer productivity.
    • Reliability & Operational Enablement
  • Embed observability, testing, and rollback strategies directly into pipelines.
  • Ensure deployments are resilient, repeatable, and auditable.
  • Participate in post-incident reviews with a focus on systemic improvements to tooling and delivery processes.
    • Mentorship & Technical Advocacy
  • Mentor senior engineers and DevOps practitioners in CI/CD architecture and infrastructure as code.
  • Advocate for an automation-first, developer-first culture.
  • Raise the technical bar for pipeline design, testing standards, and release engineering practices.
  • 8–10+ years of experience spanning software engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, or developer productivity.
  • Deep hands-on expertise with CI/CD systems, especially GitHub Actions (enterprise-scale implementation preferred).
  • Strong experience building scalable infrastructure using Terraform (modules, workspaces, state management, policy integration).
  • Strong experience working within the AWS ecosystem (e.g., VPC, ECS, EC2, S3, IAM, Lambda, CloudWatch).
  • Experience designing secure, scalable pipeline architectures (artifact management, secrets handling, OIDC, ephemeral environments).
  • Proven track record of improving engineering productivity through automation and tooling.
  • Experience embedding observability and quality gates into CI/CD workflows.
  • AI-first thinking applied to pipeline optimization, incident analysis, and developer feedback loops.
  • Strong experience with monitoring, metrics, and visualization tools (e.g CloudWatch, Grafana)
  • Experience influencing technical direction across multiple teams or domains.
