Mission: Lead and scale the Platform Engineering & Developer Experience initiatives at BrainRocket.
You will oversee DevEx Engineering, Platform Engineering, and Release Management teams, own our Internal Developer Platform, and establish measurable, self-service practices around build, release, observability, and developer productivity.
Your mission is to provide a complete and up-to-date service catalog, golden paths, scorecards, tooling, and processes that empower engineers, reduce cognitive load, and improve the way we build, test, release, and scale products.
Responsibilities
* Own and evolve the Internal Developer Platform and its related ecosystem (GitLab, ArgoCD, SonarQube, Unleash, Nexus, Okta, Jira, and Slack integrations), ensuring secure and efficient CI/CD practices and release governance
* Drive the Service Catalog initiative and knowledge-sharing culture, establishing rituals, trainings, and mentorship programs that grow technical excellence
* Define and drive the strategy, tooling, and culture that enable every engineer to be faster, safer, and happier
* Lead, mentor, and inspire high-performing teams, while acting as the primary advocate for developer productivity and platform reliability
* Standardize workflows, progressive delivery strategies (blue-green, canary), and observability to accelerate delivery while reducing risk
* Build and maintain reliable data workflows and scorecards that track DORA, reliability, security, and cost metrics, publishing clear dashboards and driving adoption across engineering leadership
* Lead the architecture of the Internal Developer Portal, provide company-wide golden paths, and run developer feedback loops (surveys, interviews, Slack AMAs) to continuously improve DevEx
* Partner with executives, engineering managers, and technical stakeholders to align strategy, close gaps, and ensure platform adoption across all teams and services
Required experience
* 7+ years in engineering leadership, with at least 3 years leading Platform, DevEx, or DevOps teams; proven track record in hiring, coaching, and scaling high-performing engineering teams
* Hands-on experience rolling out Internal Developer Platforms (Port.io, Backstage, Cortex, or similar), service catalogs, and scorecards
* Deep knowledge of cloud-native ecosystems (Kubernetes, GitLab pipelines, ArgoCD, progressive delivery techniques) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
* Strong technical background in at least one major programming language (Python, Go, TypeScript, or Java)
* Familiarity with developer productivity and reliability metrics (DORA, SLIs/SLOs/SLAs, FinOps) and experience translating insights into action
* Understanding microservices architectures and team/service ownership models
* Exceptional communication and influencing skills, able to align executives, partner teams, and individual contributors
Nice to have
* Background in Developer Relations or Developer Advocacy
* Prior experience with Release Management frameworks at scale.
We offer excellent benefits
* Learning and development opportunities and interesting, challenging tasks.
* Relocation package (tickets, staying in a hotel for up to 2 weeks, and visa relocation support for our employees and their family members)
* Opportunity to develop language skills, with partial compensation for the cost of English.
* Private medical coverage, including inpatient, outpatient, dental care, annual check-ups, and maternity support.
