Overview As a Senior Engineer focused on Developer Productivity and DevEx , you will take a lead execution and component design role in building, scaling, and optimizing our long-term software delivery fabric .  With your strong technical expertise and exceptional developer empathy, you will look beyond immediate needs to build a proactive, secure, and flexible environment where software and dev box provisioning is invisible, governed, and highly intelligent.   You will execute the roadmap for a greenfield software delivery ecosystem similar to Workbrew that serves two distinct, high-impact cohorts: this project’s macOS-based builder community and th e Linux-based automated agents operating in the CI/CD pipeline. You will implement solutions for complex software supply chain challenges, ranging from automated threat screening and package quarantine loops to engineering robust, well-architected data pipelines that ensure total visibility across the technical landscape. You will participate in critical architectural discussions, collaborate with key stake holders , to help shape long -term developer platform strategy for special projects .   How You Can Make an Impact   Build and Execute: Implement, migrate, and optimize a unified, greenfield software delivery platform that provides a reviewed, governed Golden Path for software consumption across the company.   Innovate for the Future: Develop a platform capable of seamlessly supplying software and managing dependencies for both human developers and autonomous agents working in code-generation and review pipelines.   Champion Tooling Ergonomics: Prioritize the developer experience by building clean, ergonomic interfaces and CLI tools that serve as an intuitive safety net rather than a source of friction.   Drive Supply Chain Defense: Build automated security guardrails, including version cooldown periods and strict quarantine rules, to detect and block supply chain attacks before code enters production environments.   Build Well-Architected Data Pipelines: Implement high-performance telemetry pipelines to track asset distribution and version drift, streaming data cleanly into our enterprise data stack including Snowflake, Datadog, and Prometheus.   Automate Technical Governance: Work with Staff and Principal Engineers to translate the Tech Radar tiers (Adopt, Trial, Assess, Hold) for special projects into real-time, automated platform enforcements .   Collaborate Strategically: Work closely with Security, Endpoint Management, and Infrastructure/Product Engineering teams to align engineering velocity with rigorous threat-screening and compliance standards.
