Your Role & Team

The Developer Experience Engineer is a senior individual contributor responsible for driving measurable improvements to developer experience, delivery performance and operational efficiency across CreditorWatch's engineering organisation.

Working within the Engineering Operations team alongside Staff Engineers and a Solution Architect, this role operates at the intersection of CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, AI-driven workflows and cross-team coordination. The Developer Experience Engineer identifies friction, proposes solutions and ships outcomes - operating with a high degree of autonomy and pace.

This is not a traditional DevOps role focused on keeping the lights on. This is a role for someone who sees broken workflows, slow pipelines and manual toil as problems to be solved systematically - and who has the technical skill and communication ability to drive adoption across a multi-squad engineering organisation.

You'll report directly to the Engineering Operations Manager in this role.

Please note, it's a full-time opportunity offering hybrid working conditions out of our Sydney CBD Office.

Some of your responsibilities include and are not limited to:

AI-Driven Workflows & Developer Productivity

Drive the adoption and operationalisation of AI tooling across the SDLC

Design and implement AI-assisted workflows that reduce manual effort at each stage from ideation through to production

Establish best practices, standards and guardrails for AI-assisted development across squads

CI/CD & Pipeline Optimisation

Own the performance and reliability of CI/CD pipelines built on GitHub Actions

Reduce build times, eliminate flaky tests and improve deployment confidence across teams

Implement and maintain infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform

Developer Experience

Systematically identify and eliminate developer friction across the engineering organisation

Improve local development environments, onboarding experience and day-to-day tooling

Reduce manual process burden through automation of repetitive tasks - shifting developers toward verification and orchestration rather than manual implementation

Drive standardisation across repositories, pipelines and teams to reduce cognitive load, context-switching cost and per-team maintenance overhead

Use DORA and DX metrics to identify high-impact improvement opportunities, measure outcomes and demonstrate progress in deployment frequency and lead time

Cross-Team Coordination & Initiative Delivery

Lead complex, cross-cutting improvement initiatives from investigation through to adoption

Coordinate with squad leads and engineers to roll out operational changes with minimal disruption

Communicate progress, trade-offs and outcomes clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Our ideal candidate

Practical experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, SRE or similar with strong hands-on capability

Deep experience with CI/CD pipeline design and optimisation, particularly GitHub Actions

Practical experience integrating SaaS platforms (e.g Datadog, LaunchDarkly, Databricks, Jira, JSM, getDX)

Practical Terraform and infrastructure-as-code skills in AWS environments

Practical experience with AI-assisted development tools and workflows (Claude Code, Copilot or equivalent)

Excellent communication and influencing skills - able to build consensus across squads without authority

Data-driven mindset - uses metrics to inform priorities, justify decisions and demonstrate impact

Comfortable working across a polyglot environment (PHP, Node, Go, Python)

Experience with containerised workloads (ECS/EKS) and cloud-native architectures

Systems-thinking approach to identifying and resolving developer experience problems at scale
