Job Summary

Join us on our mission to make a better world of work. The Developer Experience team builds internal platforms and tooling that make Culture Amp engineers faster, safer, and happier. We’re a cross‑functional, internal‑facing group tackling systems‑heavy problems: local dev environments, CI/CD, frontend delivery, standards, and AI‑for‑coding enablement.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and improve local developer environments (nix/devbox) to bring production-like setups to laptops, including data population and Kafka-related workflows.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and front-end delivery infrastructure/CDN for multi-app routing and performance.
• Manage org-wide dependency updates with Renovate and evolve Backstage templates for new project bootstrapping.
• Collaborate on Python standards and package publishing; contribute Go (preferred) and/or Python services and tooling.
• Design and extend AI-for-coding tooling (prompts, context repos, MCP server integrations) to raise code quality and speed.
• Work closely with SRE and product teams on AWS/infrastructure-adjacent problems; do hands-on discovery, spikes, and systems programming.
• Communicate clearly, ask great questions, and help shape ambiguous problem spaces into actionable work.

Requirements

• Solid programming fundamentals, language agnostic, experience in Go preferred; Python/TypeScript a plus.
• Interest in developer tooling, internal platforms, and SRE-adjacent work (AWS, CI/CD, Linux/Unix); curiosity to learn unfamiliar tech.
• Familiarity with or interest in CLI tools, systems programming, and reproducible dev environments (nix/devbox), experience helpful but not required.
• Strong communication skills and comfort operating.
