Senior DevEx Engineer

We're a well-funded, rapidly growing SaaS company transforming how frontline teams work. As Senior DevEx Engineer, Quality Engineering, you'll partner with Platform and product engineering teams to identify quality opportunities and build tooling to capture them. You'll make Zipline's engineering practices exceptional by assessing and evolving them, strengthening CI/CD quality gates, and building visibility into engineering health.

Requirements

• 8+ years of engineering experience, with at least 5 years in DevEx, DevOps or infrastructure with a strong developer productivity focus.
• Strong CI/CD pipeline experience (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or equivalent), with a track record of building, maintaining, and improving pipelines for reliability and speed.
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted developer tooling, including code review agents, test generation, or LLM-powered quality checks, and a genuine curiosity for how AI can reshape the way engineering teams build and ship.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS; comfortable managing containerized environments and cloud infrastructure via Terraform.
• Familiarity with SAST/SCA security scanning (Snyk, Semgrep, or equivalent) and how to integrate it into pipelines.
• Strong understanding of observability tools (Datadog, Sentry, or equivalent), including how to set up meaningful alerting and reduce noise.
• Proficiency in Python, Go, or Ruby for building internal tooling and automation; experience with Ruby on Rails is a plus given our primary stack.
• Awareness of DORA metrics and developer experience frameworks.
• A pragmatic build-vs-buy mindset: you know when the right answer is making what already exists work better.
• Excellent communication skills and remote work discipline; you earn buy-in by making the platform genuinely useful, not by mandating standards.
