Staff Software Engineer – DevX

We're looking for an accomplished Staff Software Engineer (DevX) to drive the development of tools and platforms that enhance our developers’ experience. In this role, you'll build and integrate software solutions that streamline coding, testing, and deployment processes, making our engineering teams more effective and efficient. You will collaborate closely with other engineers to identify workflow bottlenecks and implement innovative solutions, acting as a technical leader in shaping our internal development ecosystem. Reporting to the DevX Manager (Observability & DevX), you'll also mentor other engineers and uphold best practices in code quality, automation, and performance.

What You’ll Do

Design and develop internal software tools, services, and frameworks that improve the developer experience (e.g. custom CLI tools, development environment enhancements, test automation frameworks).

Work with engineering teams to gather requirements and feedback for developer tools, then iterate on solutions to ensure they address real-world needs.

Improve and maintain our CI/CD pipeline code and infrastructure, ensuring build and deployment processes are efficient, reliable, and scalable.

Contribute to the architecture of our developer platform by evaluating new technologies and integrating open-source solutions to enhance productivity.

Mentor and guide other software engineers in using DevX tools and adopting best practices for efficient software delivery.

Ensure all DevX solutions are well-documented, maintainable, and secure; actively participate in code reviews and design discussions to uphold high standards.

Partner with engineering teams to define and enforce AI standards within the developer ecosystem, ensuring consistent, scalable, and secure adoption of AI-driven solutions.

Essential Skills & Experience

7–10 years' experience in Software Engineering or DevOps roles, with a focus on building developer tooling or platforms.

Expert programming skills in one or more languages (such as Python, Java, Go, or C#), with the ability to write clean, maintainable code for internal tools and services.

Experience designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines and build/release processes, including familiarity with tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions.

Solid understanding of software development best practices (version control, code reviews, automated testing) and experience integrating these into automated workflows.

Proficiency with containerization and cloud infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP) to support on-demand development and testing environments.

Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to quickly learn and adapt to new technologies and frameworks that improve developer productivity.

Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach, with experience mentoring engineers or leading technical projects to successful outcomes.

Preferred (Not Essential)

Contributions to open-source developer tools or active involvement in the developer community.

Experience with developer experience platforms or tools (e.g. Backstage, Atlassian suite) is a plus.

If you're a “developer’s developer” who loves creating tools that make engineering teams happier and more productive, we'd love to have you on board. Apply today and help us build a top-notch development ecosystem at Cision!
