Skills & Attributes * Product-minded: treats developers as users and internal platforms as products. * Systems-oriented: understands the full path from local development to release artifact. * Pragmatic builder: improves workflows without adding unnecessary process. * High ownership: identifies bottlenecks, fixes them, and measures the result. * Developer empathy: understands friction because they have built and shipped software themselves. * Clear communicator: can document workflows, explain tradeoffs, and drive adoption across engineering teams. * Security-aware: understands the requirements of defense and controlled deployment environments. * AI-fluent: uses AI tools pragmatically to accelerate engineering workflows while maintaining strong engineering judgment and verification discipline. ## Description As a Developer Experience Engineer, you will own the engineering systems that make NODA developers productive. You will improve the full developer lifecycle: local development, GitHub workflows, CI/CD, build optimization, test feedback, release automation, SDK packaging, documentation, and first-run experience. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who treats developer productivity as a systems problem. You will own the path from: git push validated build packaged SDK usable developer workflow You will work closely with autonomy, simulation, platform, and field engineering teams to reduce friction and create fast, reliable, and reproducible workflows for both connected and constrained deployment environments., * Own GitHub-based engineering workflows, including PR validation, CI triggers, quality gates, and release automation. * Improve engineering feedback loops, build reliability, and deployment confidence across local and CI environments. * Own the developer-facing SDK and CLI experience, including install flow, CLI ergonomics, Python package usability, examples, quickstarts, and release quality. * Eliminate workflow friction and reduce dependency on tribal knowledge through automation and self-service tooling. * Build and maintain reproducible, secure, and air-gapped developer and release workflows. * Use metrics and developer feedback to continuously improve engineering workflows and platform adoption. * Partner across autonomy, simulation, systems, and field engineering teams to ensure workflows reflect real operational needs. ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [How will artificial intelligence change the future of software testing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/85-how-will-artificial-intelligence-change-the-future-of-software-testing) - [AI Won't Fix Your Engineering Culture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100266-ai-won-t-fix-your-engineering-culture) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Developer Experience in the Age of AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1118-developer-experience-in-the-age-of-ai) ## Related Articles - [Why developer experience matters](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/514-why-developer-experience-matters) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Transforming Software Development: The Role of AI and Developer Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/527-transforming-software-development-the-role-of-ai-and-developer-tools)
