About the Role
As a Lead DevEx Engineer you will improve how our engineers build, ship and operate services. This brand‑new role bridges application development and platform engineering, creating a consistent, scalable developer experience as we evolve our platform strategy.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the service template library for .NET, Node.js and Python – covering project scaffolding, dependency management, containerisation, local development setup and production configuration.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipeline templates in GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps, ensuring consistency across stacks and reusability across teams.
- Define and ship observability standards: structured logging, distributed tracing and alerting integrated into service templates so every new service is production‑ready from day one.
- Build the platform‑level observability layer using Datadog, incident.io, and/or GCP/Azure native logging and monitoring tooling.
- Contribute to an Azure‑to‑GCP migration strategy – assessing changes to developer tooling and service templates and building proof‑of‑concept work.
- Partner with product engineers to diagnose developer experience pain points and implement lasting solutions.
- Lead technical decisions on platform tooling: evaluate new tools, write ADRs and drive adoption across engineering teams.
- Mentor and support Cloud Platform team engineers and serve as a go‑to resource for product engineers working with platform tooling.
Required Qualifications
- Proficient in at least one of .NET (C#), Node.js, or Python – able to build, configure, and template production‑grade services.
- Strong GCP experience (Azure experience is desirable).
- Hands‑on experience designing reusable CI/CD pipeline templates in GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
- Comfortable with containerisation (Docker) and deployment on Kubernetes or Cloud Run.
- Observability experience with Datadog, incident.io, or cloud‑native logging and monitoring (GCP Cloud Operations or Azure Monitor).
- Infrastructure‑as‑code skills with Terraform.
- Track record of driving adoption – building tools that engineers use, writing documentation that is read.

Team members are required to be in the office at least three days a week, but we also value flexibility and encourage collaboration and efficient workflow.
