## About the role

As Picogrid's first Developer Experience Engineer you will empower our engineers to iterate and ship at lightning speed while following best practices for testing, security and compliance. You will build and own standard local development setups, CI/CD pipelines, golden paths and internal tooling. You will embed with engineers to deeply understand their workflows and painpoints. Key KPIs will include time to first PR for new hires, CI duration, and flaky gate noise.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of experience in DevOps, platform, or tooling roles with a developer experience focus
- A track record of building internal tooling or developer platforms that measurably reduced friction, with the metrics to show it
- Strong with Github Actions or similar CI platforms: reusable workflows, composite actions, caching strategies, OIDC authentication, and action version hygiene
- Competent using Golang or Python to produce maintainable tooling
- Production Terraform or OpenTofu experience with module design and reuse
- Experience with scanning tooling across many repositories: secret scanning, dependency and container vulnerability scanning, and static analysis
