Tech Lead - Developer Experience & Platform Engineering

Tasks

• Design and improvement of CI/CD pipelines, review workflows, and release processes that influence how teams work today, including AI-driven development.
• Building internal platforms, SDKs, CLIs, and libraries that engineers adopt because they're genuinely useful—not because they're required.
• When integrating Gen-AI into platform tools, think carefully about implementing automated quality checks and feedback loops that make AI-generated code more reliable over time.
• Responsibility for the platform roadmap. Balancing feature requirements, technical debt, and strategic investments using real-world data—cycle time, deployment frequency, and developer satisfaction.
