Accountabilities:
This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Developer Experience in Canada.
This role focuses on shaping the internal engineering ecosystem that enables developers to build, test, and ship software efficiently and reliably at scale. You will work on high-leverage systems that directly impact engineering velocity, stability, and productivity across multiple teams. The position sits within a dedicated platform organization, partnering closely with infrastructure, security, and product engineering groups to improve CI/CD pipelines, build systems, and developer workflows. You will design and evolve tooling that reduces friction in the development lifecycle, from local development to production deployment. This is a highly impactful role for an engineer passionate about automation, platform engineering, and creating seamless developer experiences. You will also contribute to defining engineering best practices and enabling secure-by-default, high-quality software delivery across the organization.
- Design, build, and maintain core developer platforms and internal tooling, including CI/CD pipelines, build systems, test infrastructure, and code quality frameworks.
- Improve engineering efficiency by reducing build and test times, eliminating flaky processes, and optimizing developer workflows end-to-end.
- Own and drive key roadmap initiatives, defining success metrics, delivering solutions, and ensuring strong observability and operational excellence.
- Implement secure-by-default development practices in collaboration with security and infrastructure teams, including automated checks and policy enforcement.
- Lead cross-functional technical initiatives spanning multiple engineering teams, influencing architecture and ensuring consistent engineering standards.
- Mentor engineers and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and technical excellence across the organization.
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production-grade systems.
- 3+ years of experience focused on developer tooling, internal platforms, CI/CD pipelines, or build systems.
- Strong proficiency in at least one programming language such as Go, Python, or TypeScript, with solid software design and code review skills.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD systems and build tools such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins, Bazel, or similar technologies.
- Experience deploying and operating services in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes or equivalent).
- Proven ability to improve key engineering metrics such as deployment frequency, build time, or test reliability.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills with experience working across infrastructure, security, and product engineering teams.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- Familiarity with monorepos, infrastructure-as-code, observability tools, and platform automation is a strong plus.
- Competitive base salary ranging from $168,000 to $177,500 USD (depending on location and experience).
- New hire equity grants and annual refresh equity opportunities.
- Remote-first Flex First working model within eligible Canadian provinces.
- Strong engineering culture focused on autonomy, ownership, and impact.
- Opportunity to work on high-scale systems that directly improve developer productivity across the organization.
- Comprehensive benefits package and market-competitive perks.
- Exposure to modern platform engineering practices, cloud-native infrastructure, and large-scale distributed systems.
