Senior DevRel Engineer Application Platforms

Job Type: Contract

Work Mode: Onsite (Client)

Responsibilities

Proficiency in Java, Kotlin or Node.js

Strong communicator to all levels of seniority

Solid understanding of production readiness fundamentals: security, resilience, observability, and supportability, sufficient to build credible examples and guidance

Strong hands‑on engineering experience delivering production‑grade systems; experience delivering app platforms is a plus but not necessary

Practical experience improving developer experience via standardisation, automation, and making the easy thing the right thing

Comfortable working across teams (product, engineering, architecture, risk/end‑control) to make guidance accurate and usable

1 Build adoption accelerators (Golden Path delivery)

Produce worked examples from real projects (not toy apps) designed to double as reusable accelerators and adoption media

Contribute code pipelines and automation that reduce friction in onboarding and repeatable delivery

2 Self‑service onboarding at scale, no white‑glove by default

Improve self‑service onboarding journeys so teams can progress without hand‑holding; the org is too large for heavy hand‑holding, self‑serve must work from day 1.

Create and maintain onboarding guides, operational guidance and run‑book‑style content that helps teams reach production confidently

Help reduce bespoke onboarding by standardising workflows and improving automation

3 Developer experience advocacy – actionable, not advisory

Participate in feedback channels: office hours, champions networks, team‑mail‑in‑app ratings where available

Triage issues and pain points into items that DevRel can build/fix directly and items to be driven to the owning pillar team with clear acceptance criteria

Track to closure; DevRel ensures the right team is engaged and progress is visible

4 Documentation as a core deliverable

Write and maintain high‑quality documentation content for our platform docs, including onboarding how‑to’s, troubleshooting and reference material

Ensure new/updated assets ship with documentation as part of Definition of Done and release readiness expectations

Keep content fresh and discoverable; propose improvements to doc structure, navigation and time‑to‑answer

5 Developer enablement and narrative support – delivery‑focused

Support internal communications and technical engagement: short talks, show‑and‑tells, workshops, mob programming sessions

Help maintain clear adoption pathways and migration guidance in partnership with product, engineering, architecture

Contribute to communications that make developers confident about what exists, what’s coming and how to get value quickly
