About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stable coins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.

Many of the world’s largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, S&P Dow Jones Indices, FTSE Russell, Wisdom Tree, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, Lido, GMX and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.

About The Role

Chainlink decentralized oracle networks provide tamper-proof inputs, outputs, and computations to support advanced smart contracts on any blockchain. As the ecosystem continues to grow at an explosive pace we are building the infrastructure to further secure the reliability of our networks and incentivize good behaviour.

As an Engineering Manager for the Developer Experience team, you will lead a team of approximately ten talented engineers across two sub-teams:
Dev Ex CI/CD and Dev Ex Tooling. The Dev Ex team is responsible for creating a holistic and streamlined CI/CD experience for delivering both off-chain and on-chain code. This includes establishing golden paths, managing hosted and self-hosted runners, embedding security best practices, and handling artifact management. They also focus on building comprehensive tooling and frameworks for end-to-end (E2E) testing, covering functional testing as well as non-functional testing types such as performance, load, and chaos testing.

Additionally, this team is responsible for developing operational tools supporting multisig operations and streamlined node-change management.

Your Impact
  • Lead, mentor, and develop up to ten software and SRE engineers, fostering a high-performance culture and enabling career growth.

  • Drive the development and continuous improvement of CI/CD pipelines, including self-service tooling, automation, secure-by-design principles, and compliance.

  • Oversee the development of advanced testing frameworks to ensure comprehensive coverage of functional and non-functional requirements across multiple blockchain and off-chain products.

  • Partner closely with engineering leadership, product management, and security teams to define and deliver robust developer tooling and operational frameworks.

  • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders to set clear expectations, align on scope, and ensure timely delivery of self-service tooling and services

  • Champion best practices in reliability, security, scalability, and maintainability across the Dev Ex team.

  • Maintain team health and productivity through effective project management, clear communication, and supportive team practices.

  • Recruit and hire top engineering talent, raising the bar for the team and broader organization.

Requirements
  • Minimum of 8 years experience in software engineering, with at least 3 years in a leadership or managerial role.

  • Demonstrated expertise in managing and improving CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling in complex engineering environments.

  • Experience managing the engineering and delivery of internal engineering tools and platforms for globally distributed internal customers

  • Proven experience in building and leading teams responsible for mission-critical tooling and infrastructure.

  • A strong passion for making developers highly productive.

  • Familiarity with Golang and its ecosystem.

  • Deep understanding of software development lifecycle, testing methodologies (functional, performance, chaos), and operational tooling.

  • Experience partnering closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders, successfully managing scope, priorities, and expectations.

  • A servant-leadership mindset focused on empowering and motivating teams to achieve exceptional results.

  • Ability to adapt quickly and effectively to rapidly evolving technologies and shifting organizational priorities.

Preferred Requirements
  • Hands-on experience in blockchain technologies, decentralized applications, or related Web3 infrastructure.

  • Technical expertise in designing and scaling data infrastructure and distributed systems architecture

  • Familiarity with security best practices, secure artifact management, and compliance in software delivery.

  • Strong operational skills and the ability to balance speed and quality pragmatically

  • Experience working with a team located across multiple time zones

  • Active participant, or interest in, the blockchain ecosystem
