Position Summary:
The Developer Experience (DevExp) organization is a core part of Miovision’s Transformation, Delivery & Technology (TDT) department, responsible for building and operating Miovision’s Internal Developer Platform and Agentic SDLC. This platform enables engineers, solution engineers, QA, and other technical and semi-technical users to build, test, deploy, operate, and evolve software quickly, safely, and with confidence.
We are looking for a Director Developer Operations & Experience to lead the evolution from a traditional DevOps function into a modern Developer Experience and Platform Engineering organization. This role owns the strategy, architecture, and execution of the internal developer platform, CI/CD, cloud foundations, observability, and developer tooling, while also pioneering how AI and agent-first pipelines are embedded into the software development lifecycle.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will build and lead a team, coach deeply, and regularly roll up your sleeves alongside engineers. At Miovision, everyone is a builder, and this role exists to ensure that building is fast, intuitive, secure, and increasingly AI-native while maintaining deep accountability for reliability, security, and production operations.
Key Accountabilities:
Operational Excellence & Reliability
- Own platform and infrastructure uptime; establish SLOs and reliability governance.
- Drive DORA metric improvements.
- Standardize incident response and operational maturity.
- Ensure secure, compliant, and auditable production operations.
- Own production system health and availability with Engineering/Architecture.
- Establish a service maturity model (reliability, security, observability, CI/CD, AI-readiness).
- Enforce secure coding standards and Quality Gates across all repositories.
Lead DevOps → Developer Experience Transformation
- Evolve DevOps to a modern, platform-engineered, AI-enabled Developer Experience organization, while maintaining reliability and security accountability.
- Shift focus to enabling all contributors (including QA, solution engineering) as builders.
- Introduce platform-as-product operating models with roadmaps, feedback, and metrics.
Accelerate Onboarding, Wayfinding, and Productivity
- Radically reduce developer/contributor onboarding time.
- Improve wayfinding via standards, templates, and conventions.
- Standardize repository structure and build/deploy patterns for AI workflows, security, and predictability.
Embed AI Across the SDLC
- Drive AI adoption across engineering roles.
- Design AI-driven capabilities: automated code review, test generation, incident analysis, anomaly detection, and remediation.
- Translate emerging agentic tooling into internal capabilities.
- Ensure AI and agent-driven workflows operate within secure, monitored, and policy-bound environments.
- Embed guardrails to protect proprietary code, customer data, and infrastructure secrets.
Own CI/CD, Cloud Foundations, and Observability
- Own CI/CD platforms, deployment automation, and infrastructure-as-code standards.
- Define and enforce reliability and quality while enforcing container hardening, image provenance validation, and runtime protections.
- Standardize on-call models, incident response, escalation, and post-incident learning.
- Automate runbooks and operational workflows.
- Partner on AWS usage, cloud patterns, cost efficiency, and observability standards.
- Own platform reliability, performance, cost governance, and operability templates.
Qualifications:
- 10+ years of experience in Developer Operations, Developer Experience, Platform Engineering, or related domains.
- Prior experience leading DevOps and/or Developer Experience teams.
