Staff Software Engineer (DevEx)

We are seeking a Staff DevEx (Developer Experience) Software Engineer to elevate the effectiveness, velocity, and satisfaction of our engineering organization. This is a high impact, high -visibility- technical leadership role focused on reducing friction across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) through automation, self-service tooling, improved CI/CD maturity, and thoughtful systems design-.

As a Staff DevEx Engineer, you will operate as both a builder and an influencer-shaping the direction of engineering-wide capabilities while driving adoption through trust, partnership, and technical leadership. You will partner across Engineering, Product, Design, and Security to ensure teams can deliver high-quality software rapidly, confidently, and at scale.

This role is ideal for a Staff-level engineer who thrives in ambiguous, cross-team problem spaces and enjoys empowering hundreds of developers through elegant tooling, platform capabilities, and automation.

What You'll Do

Developer Experience Platform & Automation

• Build and own tools, automation, and shared systems that remove friction from the SDLC-including repo access automation, environment/bootstrap tooling, build pipeline templates, and shared CI/CD components.
• Create platform-level abstractions that allow teams to move faster without reinventing common patterns.

Technical Leadership Across Multiple Teams

• Act as the technical expert for Developer Experience-driving standards, patterns, and foundational capabilities across multiple engineering teams.
• Provide architectural guidance for systems that support large-scale engineering operations (CI/CD pipelines, SRE tooling, test frameworks, shared libraries, infrastructure automation, etc.).
• Drive adoption of DevEx tooling by influencing without authority-earning trust through data, clarity, and high quality-quality technical delivery.

Quality, Reliability, and Observability

• Guide engineering teams in instrumenting, measuring, and monitoring key SDLC performance indicators such as build times, failure rates, deployment success rates, and developer feedback loops.
• Support zero-downtime and high-resilience development workflows through continuous improvement of deployment automation and rollback/roll-forward capabilities.

Mentorship, Coaching, and Technical Influence

• Mentor engineers and teams on best practices in automation, testing, CI/CD, and platform engineering.
• Act as a calming force during high-emotion or ambiguous technical discussions-driving objective, fact based-based decision-making rooted in measurable value.
• Demonstrate leadership behaviors across all interactions: clarity, composure, strong written communication, and an elevated ability to translate between technical detail and broader business value.

Strategic Engineering Impact

• Look ahead 6-12 months to anticipate architectural or organizational gaps, proposing strategic DevEx investments that improve engineering velocity at scale.
• Coordinate across Product, Security, SRE, and Engineering Leadership to ensure alignment between technical direction and company goals.
• Lead multi-team efforts with effective delegation, scaling yourself through influence and clear communication rather than individual execution alone.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, you will:

• Reduce SDLC cycle times and eliminate common sources of engineering friction.
• Increase adoption of shared DevEx tooling across the organization.
• Improve build reliability, developer onboarding time, and overall engineering productivity.
• Establish yourself as the technical leader and trusted partner for DevEx initiatives.
• Provide clarity and technical direction in cross-team conversations-especially when stakes or emotions run high.
• Deliver lasting engineering capabilities that unlock higher performance across multiple teams, not just one.

• 7+ years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on NodeJS, React, C# .NET
• Proven track record operating at Lead/Staff Engineer level, with ownership over large technical domains.
• Strong architectural thinking and ability to drive design for cross-team systems.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication with the ability to influence without authority.
• Passion for improving developer experience and removing friction through elegant engineering solutions.
• Strong hands- on experience with CI/CD, build systems, and deployment automation
• Experience with cloud computing platforms and services, such as application hosting, serverless functions, storage, and managed databases.
• Familiarity with Azure Services is a bonus.
• This position pays between 148,800 to $223,200 based on experience
• Must be inquisitive and demonstrate openness to innovation including AI to explore better processes and ways to alleviate friction and improve patient and client experiences.
• This is a remote position; however, candidates must be willing and able to travel to and work onsite at client, temporary, or corporate office locations as business needs require.
