Motive provides an integrated platform to help improve the safety, productivity, and profitability of fleet operations for the physical economy. Backed by Index, Insight and IVP.
About the role
We are hiring a Director of Developer Platform & Experience to own that execution and the platform underneath it. This role owns Motive's internal developer ecosystem end to end: developer experience, developer infrastructure, build and CI/CD systems, and the testing frameworks that let hundreds of engineers move quickly without breaking things.
What they're looking for
- Own the inner loop end to end: local and cloud development environments, code search and navigation, IDE and agent tooling, dependency management, and onboarding time-to-first-PR
- Treat developers as your customers. Run regular DevEx research — surveys, interviews, instrumented telemetry — and publish a prioritized backlog the whole engineering org can see
- Define and drive the internal developer platform: golden paths, service scaffolding, and self-service capabilities that make the right way the easy way
- 12+ years in software engineering with 6+ years leading engineering teams, including 2+ years as a manager of managers (Director, Senior Manager of Managers, or equivalent scope)
- A real developer background — you have shipped and operated production systems, and engineers respect your technical judgment
- Deep DevOps and infrastructure depth: CI/CD, build systems, containers and Kubernetes, infrastructure as code (Terraform), cloud platforms (AWS preferred), and observability
