Senior DevRel Engineer Platforms

Job Type: Contract

Work Mode: Onsite (Client)

• Proficiency in Java, Kotlin or Node.js
• Strong communicator to all levels of seniority
• Solid understanding of production readiness fundamentals: security, resilience, observability, and supportability, sufficient to build credible examples and guidance
• Strong hands‑on engineering experience delivering production‑grade systems; experience delivering app platforms is a plus but not necessary
• Practical experience improving developer experience via standardisation, automation, and making the easy thing the right thing
• Comfortable working across teams (product, engineering, architecture, risk/end‑control) to make guidance accurate and usable

• 1 Build adoption accelerators (Golden Path delivery)

  • Produce worked examples from real projects (not toy apps) designed to double as reusable accelerators and adoption media
  • Contribute code pipelines and automation that reduce friction in onboarding and repeatable delivery

• 2 Self‑service onboarding at scale, no white‑glove by default

  • Improve self‑service onboarding journeys so teams can progress without hand‑holding; the org is too large for heavy hand‑holding, self‑serve must work from day 1.
  • Create and maintain onboarding guides, operational guidance and run‑book‑style content that helps teams reach production confidently
  • Help reduce bespoke onboarding by standardising workflows and improving automation

• 3 Developer experience advocacy – actionable, not advisory

  • Participate in feedback channels: office hours, champions networks, team‑mail‑in‑app ratings where available
  • Triage issues and pain points into items that Dev Rel can build/fix directly and items to be driven to the owning pillar team with clear acceptance criteria
  • Track to closure;
    Dev Rel ensures the right team is engaged and progress is visible

• 4 Documentation as a core deliverable

  • Write and maintain high‑quality documentation content for our platform docs, including onboarding how‑to’s, troubleshooting and reference material
  • Ensure new/updated assets ship with documentation as part of Definition of Done and release readiness expectations
  • Keep content fresh and discoverable; propose improvements to doc structure, navigation and time‑to‑answer

• 5 Developer enablement and narrative support – delivery‑focused

  • Support internal communications and technical engagement: short talks, show‑and‑tells, workshops, mob programming sessions
  • Help maintain clear adoption pathways and migration guidance in partnership with product, engineering, architecture
  • Contribute to communications that make developers confident about what exists, what’s coming and how to get value quickly
