You can explain complex systems clearly and document decisions so others understand the reasoning. * A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field, or equivalent professional experience. * Experience building or contributing to developer platforms, Internal Developer Portals, or other internal tooling at scale (preferred) * Exposure to platform engineering concepts: CI/CD, observability, SRE practices, and golden paths (preferred) * Experience working with SaaS platforms for building developer portals or similar configuration-driven tools (preferred) ## Description * Lead day-to-day development of the Internal Developer Portal: feature delivery, plugin development, catalogue design, and integration with platform APIs. You'll ship code, not just plan it. * Build and maintain plugins that surface platform capabilities - infrastructure-as-code modules, CI/CD pipelines, shared services, observability dashboards, SLO definitions - as discoverable, self-service catalogue entries. * Own the portal's component model: how services, APIs, resources, permissions, systems and golden paths are represented, related and presented to developers. * Collaborate with Cloud Platform Engineering teams and product engineering to design and build self-service facilities that take developers from 'I need a new service' to a deployed, observable, SLO-defined service without manual work. * Anchor the technical standards for the DX & Portals team: code review quality bar, plugin development patterns, frontend testing, accessibility and portal performance. Mentor DX Engineers joining the team and provide technical guidance on architecture and decision-making. * Listen to developer feedback through surveys and conversations, continuously improve the portal and drive adoption of platform standards. Work with the Director to prioritise features and eliminate friction. ## Related Videos - [Platform Engineering vs. DevOps Why not both?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/885-platform-engineering-vs-devops-why-not-both) - [Lessons learned from building a thriving Vue.js SaaS application](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1666-lessons-learned-from-building-a-thriving-vue-js-saas-application) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Empowering Thousands of Developers: Our Journey to an Internal Developer Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1519-empowering-thousands-of-developers-our-journey-to-an-internal-developer-platform) - [Common Mistakes in Vue.js and How to Avoid Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/958-common-mistakes-in-vue-js-and-how-to-avoid-them) ## Related Articles - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The Ultimate Software Engineer Career Path Guide for 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/146-the-ultimate-software-engineer-career-path-guide-for-2023)
