Principal DevEx Engineer

The Velocity team exists to eliminate friction. We treat our internal developers as our customers. You will:

• Abstract Complexity: Build intuitive tooling that enables self-service allowing devs to focus on product logic.
• Standardize Excellence: Bake best-practices, security, observability, and scalability into the core stack so they aren't afterthoughts.

What You Will Do

• Developer Experience: Build self-service tools that give product teams autonomy without sacrificing system stability.
• Platform Engineering: Architect and evolve our core stack (AWS, EKS, Terraform).
• Systems Resilience: Lead reliability initiatives, including business continuity planning and a sustainable on-call rotation.
• High-Scale Privacy: Support the infrastructure for industry-leading privacy features, such as our TIME-recognized "Anonymous Mode."
• Observability: Implement best-in-class monitoring (metrics, logs, tracing) to ensure issues are identified and mitigated before they impact the user.

• 15+ years in AWS Infrastructure, DevEx, SRE, or DevOps roles supporting high-traffic, distributed environments.
• Deep expertise in AWS and Kubernetes (K8s) is essential.
• Proficient in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), a coding background with experience with Python, Scala or Go would be beneficial.
• Comfortable at all levels of the stack, from developing front ends using React through to engineering Terraform modules to deliver infrastructure abstractions.
• A "doc-first" mentality and the ability to collaborate across distributed product teams.
• Experience of the impact which AI automation is having on development teams and the software delivery lifecycle and have strong ideas on how to support them through it
