what you will do
champion the internal Developer portal (idp): lead the architecture and development of our idp. you will build the central hub where r&d teams interact with our infrastructure, transforming complex cloud operations into intuitive UI experiences. engineer the "golden path": design and implement self-service backend logic using Python and apis. you will write the plugins that allow developers to scaffold new microservices, provision cloud resources, and manage permissions without waiting for ops tickets. drive engineering insights (dora & scorecards): go beyond basic logging by building "service maturity scorecards." you will aggregate data from github, jira, and artifactory to visualize dora metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, etc.), giving leadership and teams actionable data on their velocity and quality. architect resilient ecosystem integrations: write production-grade, testable Python code to "glue" our toolchain together (kubernetes, github, launchdarkly, artifactory). you will replace manual "ticketops" with event-driven automation that runs silently in the background. treat the platform as a product: collaborate directly with r&d teams to identify friction points in their daily workflows. you will gather feedback, prioritize features, and drive the internal adoption of the tools you build to ensure they solve real user problems.
