We're looking for a
Senior DevAx Engineer
to help shape the tools, platforms and engineering practices that enable development teams to build better software, faster.
This is a highly hands‐on role sitting at the intersection of software engineering, developer experience, cloud and automation. You'll work across engineering teams to improve the platforms and tooling they use every day, while staying at the forefront of emerging technologies and modern development practices.
What you'll be doing
Help developers become more productive by improving tools, platforms and engineering processes
Take ownership of and continually evolve a heavily utilised GitHub platform
Work across AWS, GitHub, Backstage and API development
Assess, introduce and continuously improve new tools and capabilities
Develop and maintain high-quality, automated solutions

About you
You'll come from a strong software engineering/development background and enjoy solving problems that make other engineers more effective.
We're looking for someone who:
Has operated at Senior Engineer level
Is a strong hands‐on coder — this isn't an infrastructure‐only role
Has extensive experience with GitHub and AWS
Is highly proficient in Python and TypeScript
Has experience building APIs and integrations
Understands CI/CD pipelines and contemporary engineering practices
Has experience with AWS services including VPC, EC2, ECS, S3, Lambda, RDS and CloudFormation
Has experience with Docker/containerisation
Understands RESTful APIs and JSON/XML
Can work effectively with security, cloud and engineering stakeholders
Enjoys mentoring, guiding and sharing knowledge with other engineers
Is naturally curious and constantly looking for better ways to do things
Why this role?
This is an opportunity to have genuine influence over how engineers build software across a large technology environment.
You'll get variety, exposure to different engineering teams and projects, and the opportunity to work on technology that directly enables other developers. You'll be expected to enable others, but you'll still be hands‐on technically and able to see the end product of what you build.
If you're a software engineer who enjoys solving problems at scale, exploring new technology and making other engineers better, we'd love to hear from you.
