We saw significant growth in 2025 and that's not about to change. We are on track to break records in 2026, scaling at pace, making this the perfect time to join CreditorWatch.

### **Our Purpose**

✅ Empower Australian businesses to trade confidently with their customers.

### **Our Mission**

🏆 We aim to be number one in our industry by delivering unique data insights and innovative products.

### **Your Role & Team**

The Developer Experience Engineer is a senior individual contributor responsible for driving measurable improvements to developer experience, delivery performance and operational efficiency across CreditorWatch's engineering organisation. 

Working within the Engineering Operations team alongside Staff Engineers and a Solution Architect, this role operates at the intersection of CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, AI-driven workflows and cross-team coordination. The Developer Experience Engineer identifies friction, proposes solutions and ships outcomes - operating with a high degree of autonomy and pace. 

This is not a traditional DevOps role focused on keeping the lights on. This is a role for someone who sees broken workflows, slow pipelines and manual toil as problems to be solved systematically - and who has the technical skill and communication ability to drive adoption across a multi-squad engineering organisation. 

You'll report directly to the **Engineering Operations Manager** in this role**.**

Please note, it's a full-time opportunity offering hybrid working conditions out of our **Sydney CBD Office**.

**Some of your responsibilities include and are not limited to:**

**AI-Driven Workflows & Developer Productivity** 

-   Drive the adoption and operationalisation of AI tooling across the SDLC 

-   Design and implement AI-assisted workflows that reduce manual effort at each stage from ideation through to production 

-   Establish best practices, standards and guardrails for AI-assisted development across squads  

**CI/CD & Pipeline Optimisation** 

-   Own the performance and reliability of CI/CD pipelines built on GitHub Actions 

-   Reduce build times, eliminate flaky tests and improve deployment confidence across teams 

-   Implement and maintain infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform 

**Developer Experience** 

-   Systematically identify and eliminate developer friction across the engineering organisation 

-   Improve local development environments, onboarding experience and day-to-day tooling 

-   Reduce manual process burden through automation of repetitive tasks - shifting developers toward verification and orchestration rather than manual implementation 

-   Drive standardisation across repositories, pipelines and teams to reduce cognitive load, context-switching cost and per-team maintenance overhead 

-   Use DORA and DX metrics to identify high-impact improvement opportunities, measure outcomes and demonstrate progress in deployment frequency and lead time 

**Cross-Team Coordination & Initiative Delivery** 

-   Lead complex, cross-cutting improvement initiatives from investigation through to adoption 

-   Coordinate with squad leads and engineers to roll out operational changes with minimal disruption 

-   Communicate progress, trade-offs and outcomes clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders 

### **Our ideal candidate**

-   Practical experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, SRE or similar with strong hands-on capability 

-   Deep experience with CI/CD pipeline design and optimisation, particularly GitHub Actions 

-   Practical experience integrating SaaS platforms (e.g Datadog, LaunchDarkly, Databricks, Jira, JSM, getDX) 

-   Practical Terraform and infrastructure-as-code skills in AWS environments 

-   Practical experience with AI-assisted development tools and workflows (Claude Code, Copilot or equivalent) 

-   Excellent communication and influencing skills - able to build consensus across squads without authority 

-   Data-driven mindset - uses metrics to inform priorities, justify decisions and demonstrate impact 

-   Comfortable working across a polyglot environment (PHP, Node, Go, Python) 

-   Experience with containerised workloads (ECS/EKS) and cloud-native architectures 

-   Systems-thinking approach to identifying and resolving developer experience problems at scale
