• Set the multi-year technical roadmap for Developer Experience across build systems, CI/CD, deployment platforms, internal developer tooling, and agentic workflows. Apply a product mindset to internal platforms to treat software developers as your primary users.
• Design, build, and maintain modern internal developer platforms, SDKs, CLIs, service templates, and APIs that make doing the right thing the easiest thing by default.
• Drive complex initiatives to reduce build and test times, optimize CI throughput across large codebases/monorepos, eliminate flaky tests, and ensure deployment orchestration is fast, safe, and easily reversible.
• Design agent-safe developer interfaces and paved paths that allow LLM-driven workflows, AI coding agents, and human-in-the-loop automation to operate seamlessly within our build, test, and release cycles.
• Evolve our high-scale hybrid cloud, bare-metal infrastructure, terabyte-scale Elasticsearch clusters, and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes). Drive SLOs, monitoring, and resilience patterns while maintaining enterprise-grade security.
• Own the internal documentation architecture and engineering standards. Ensure our platform, abstractions, and developer narratives remain clear, structured, and easy to navigate from an engineer’s first day to expert-level architecture.
• Lead by example through clear code reviews, architectural guidance, and first-principles problem-solving. Mentor senior engineers and foster a collaborative, high-energy engineering culture.

• 15+ Years of Systems & Platform Engineering Experience: Proven track record of architecting, shipping, and owning large-scale distributed systems, cloud-native infrastructure, and developer-facing platforms in fast-moving environments.
• Deep DevEx & Tooling Passion: Experience building internal platforms, CLIs, SDKs, build engines, or test frameworks with a relentless focus on API ergonomics, usability, and developer adoption.
• Strong Coding & Systems Fundamentals: Hands-on proficiency in modern software engineering languages (such as Go, TypeScript, or Python) with deep expertise in cloud-native ecosystems (Kubernetes, Docker, ArgoCD, Terraform).
• High Technical Legibility & Clear Writing: Exceptional ability to take complex systems and communicate them clearly through documentation, RFCs, technical narratives, and architectural diagrams.
• Agentic AI Vision: A forward-thinking perspective on how LLMs and software agents are reshaping developer workflows, and how to build reliable, well-governed platform interfaces to support them.
• Pragmatic Artisan Mindset: High bar for software quality and operational excellence, balanced with a startup-minded bias for action—knowing what to polish, what to simplify, and what to defer.
• Proven Technical Leadership: Experience influencing organizational strategy, aligning cross-functional teams, driving consensus across complex initiatives, and mentoring senior technical talent.

• Conductor maintains competitive, performance-based compensation programs.
• The Berlin base salary range for this role is currently 130,000 - 160,000 euro.
