Developer Experience or DevX enables change with confidence across our engineering organization. They own our developer environment, permutation and performance testing, and are driving evolution of our CI/CD practices and business logic and processes as we grow.

About You:

• You appreciate the power of a well crafted wrapper or tool to improve the lives of developers.
• You have deep experience with QA and software engineering best practices, and want to write tooling to encourage those practices.
• You feel the desire to fix warnings and broken tests and leave code better than you found it. You get agitated when tests fail against the main branch for long periods of time.
• You enjoy collaborating with different engineering teams to stay on top of new features and figure out how best to test them.
• You aren’t intimidated by a large codebase, but can take a step back and ask where we are, where we should go, and where we should direct our efforts.

What skills do I need? 

• You know when a situation calls for a quick script to glue it all together, and feel comfortable creating it in bash, nodejs, python or similar.
• You can write useful, detailed bug reports, and have experience with defect tracking systems like JIRA.
• You have detailed experience with CI/CD and tools like github actions, docker compose, and some kubernetes.
• You understand the general building blocks provided by cloud service providers, for example, bringing up a quick webpage using aws s3/cloudfront+lambda+dynamodb, bootstrap.js and describing it using terraform.

Key Responsibilities:

• Make it easier for developers to write better code faster, by creating the tooling they wish they had time to write
• Improve the reliability and performance of our automated tests and CI pipelines
• Implement new services and expand the functionality of internal business process logic in a kubernetes environment
• Make changes to the development environment
• Contribute code and tooling to several testing initiatives, permutation testing, load testing, end to end testing
• Participate in broader platform-level initiatives like better tooling for APIs and increasing the decoupling of our source code

Key Collaborators:

• Engineering 
• QA
• TPM
• Support
