Manager, Developer Productivity & DevOps

What You’ll Do

You are an experienced manager. You are also very technical - an engineer’s engineer! You care about Developer Productivity and DevOps deeply. You are optimistic, energetic, driven, you have a can-do attitude, you move fast, and you believe in velocity through quality and simplicity. You are a passionate practitioner of “Trunk Based Development” (https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com). You believe in enforcing upstream code quality and defect prevention (rather than defect detection) through techniques like fast commits and integrations, continuous deployment, static and dynamic code analysis, code beautifiers and standardizers, feature toggles / gates, dependency analysis, and fast automated testing. You care about the speed of builds. You are opinionated about code organization, because you know that well-organized code is a major boost of build times and developer productivity.

You want to build the industry-leading system of code development and deployment, that takes developer productivity and delivery velocity to a whole new level, with instantaneously-deployed betas (CI/CD), and a rich easy-to-use standardized developer toolset. You think “velocity and productivity” in everything you do.
