Developer Experience (DevEx) Engineer — Pipeline Squad
On-siteCambridge, England, United Kingdom
Job Summary
Own the CI/CD pipeline by evolving the GitLab test, build, security, and deploy stages across Atlas dev, staging, and prod environments. Cut build times, tame flaky jobs, and reduce local-setup friction within the TypeScript/Node monorepo using npm workspaces, Docker Compose, and kind clusters. Manage infrastructure as code by extending Terraform-managed Azure resources and extending the Helm chart with per-environment values. Embed security into the pipeline through automated scanning and streamline developer workflows by writing scripts, generators, and templates that turn tribal knowledge into self-serve defaults.
Required Qualifications
- Strong CI/CD experience with a modern platform (GitLab CI preferred; GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc. transferable)
- Solid Kubernetes and Helm in production, plus containerization with Docker
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform, ideally on Azure (AKS, ACR, Entra Workload Identity, Service Bus)
- Comfort in a TypeScript/Node monorepo — you can read and improve build/test setups even if you don't ship product features daily
- A DevEx mindset: you measure toil, empathize with the engineers you serve, and treat internal tooling as a real product
- Security-conscious by default: least privilege, secrets hygiene, supply-chain awareness
- Observability tooling (Grafana, Prometheus)
Desired Qualifications
- Experience creating agentic development workflows or writing and maintaining AI skills
- npm workspaces / shared-package build systems
- Experience supporting SaaS platforms with strict data-privacy requirements (enterprise/multinational customers)
