The Developer Enablement and Adoption Lead for Infrastructure & Operations exists to make it easy for developers and app teams to adopt I&O products with confidence. This role is the bridge between what I&O platforms can do and what app teams actually know how to do with them - closing the gap between capability and adoption.

The role owns the enablement strategy that ensures every application team has the skills, knowledge, and hands‑on confidence needed to build on, migrate to, and operate I&O products, including cloud platforms, CI/CD, observability, and core infrastructure services.

A defining part of this role is running in-person, SME‑led workshops embedded directly with app teams - working shoulder to shoulder with developers at the point of need to accelerate cloud adoption and migration, resolve real blockers in real time, and leave teams genuinely self‑sufficient rather than dependent on I&O support.

• Define and own the enablement strategy that ensures developers and app teams have the right skills and knowledge to adopt I&O products, aligned to platform roadmaps and organisational cloud adoption goals.
• Design a structured, persona‑based curriculum covering core platform capabilities including AWS, Git Lab, observability, performance engineering, and emerging products such as Kong API, tailored to app teams at different stages of cloud maturity.
• Build clear enablement pathways for app teams undertaking cloud migrations, from initial onboarding through to independent operation of I&O products in production.
• Ensure every enablement intervention is practical and outcome‑focused, directly tied to faster, safer adoption of I&O standards and patterns by app teams.

• Design and deliver a programme of in‑person, subject‑matter‑expert‑led workshops embedded with app teams to directly accelerate cloud adoption and migration timelines.
• Coordinate platform SMEs to work hands‑on with developers on live migration and adoption challenges, turning workshop time into shipped outcomes rather than passive training.
• Use workshops as an early‑warning mechanism - surfacing adoption blockers, skills gaps, and platform friction directly from app teams, and feeding this back into the platform and enablement roadmap.
• Track and report on workshop impact in terms of migration velocity, adoption milestones reached, and reduction in support dependency for participating app teams.

• Produce and maintain high‑quality, developer‑facing learning materials - guides, runbooks, worked examples, and self‑service modules - that complement the Engineers Handbook and directly support app teams adopting I&O products.
• Partner with platform subject matter experts to translate technical capability into clear, actionable content developers can apply immediately during migrations and builds.
• Establish a regular review cadence for all enablement content, ensuring materials stay accurate and aligned to evolving platform standards and tooling.
• Develop assessment and validation mechanisms so developers and their managers can demonstrate and track capability growth in adopting I&O products.

• Work closely with the Platform Enablement team to…
