Lead - Software Engineer (DevEx)

Descripción del puesto:

- Help Engineer the Golden Path: Design and implement highly automated CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and common templating (Typescript/Node) systems that allow a developer to go from "idea" to "production-ready service" in minutes. - GraphQL Infrastructure: Act as a contributor to our central Apollo GraphQL API Gateway. You will manage the supergraph composition, runtime stability, and schema governance standards to ensure a consistent contract for all consumers. - Help Build the Internal Developer Platform (IDP):Help to Develop our Cloud Abstraction Layer and Developer Portal. This includes building self-service tools, CLIs, and service catalogs that reduce cognitive load for engineers. - SRE & Observability: Integrate "secure-by-default" practices and robust observability into the platform. You'll build dashboards (NewRelic) and monitoring patterns that provide teams with deep insights into their service health. - Technical Excellence & Advocacy: Write high-quality documentation, and advocate for DevEx best practices across the organization. - Friction Reduction: Actively hunt for bottlenecks in the software development lifecycle. Whether it's a slow build or a complex deployment process, you will be involved in fixing it.
The Developer Experience team serves as the bridge between infrastructure and product. We don't just measure "uptime"; we measure "time to value." As a Staff Engineer on this team, you will be at the heart of our engineering culture, defining the standard for how software is built and delivered at On.londlo
On is a place that is centered around growth and progress. We offer an environment designed to give people the tools to develop holistically - to stay active, to learn, explore and innovate. Our distinctive approach combines a supportive, team-oriented atmosphere, with access to personal self-care for both physical and mental well-being, so each person is led by purpose.

Requerimientos del candidato/a:

- Product Thinking: You treat internal developers as your customers. You listen to their pain points and iterate on the platform based on real-world feedback. - Infrastructure as Code: You are comfortable with Terraform and Kubernetes (GCP experience is a plus), treating infrastructure with the same rigor as application code. - Automation Mindset: You are passionate about CI/CD (GitHub Actions) and building developer tooling (CLIs, SDKs, or Portals). - AI-Augmented Engineering Workflows: You leverage (or have an active interest in) the latest agentic coding tools to 10x your productivity, blending deep technical principles with AI-assisted workflows. As a power user of AI, you orchestrate complex builds and bypass boilerplate to deliver robust, scalable code at pace, ensuring our TypeScript/Node.js environment remains lean and efficient (other tech-stacks are acceptable). - Architectural API Design: Tangible experience in crafting robust API contracts with a focus on GraphQL Federation; familiarity with the Apollo tech stack is highly regarded. - Data-Driven: You understand DORA metrics and DevEx signals, using them to measure the success of the tools you build. What Success Looks Like: - Velocity: A measurable reduction in lead time for new services reaching production. - Autonomy: Product teams can provision infrastructure and deploy APIs independently using your self-service tools. - Stability: High adoption of standardised "Golden Path" templates, leading to fewer production incidents and faster MTTR. - Satisfaction: High internal Developer Satisfaction (DevEx) scores and positive feedback on the tooling you maintain. - Team Spirit: You thrive in a high-performing "sports team" culture, contributing to the power of the whole through consistent teamwork and earned leadership
