Founding Technical Leadership

Serve as the founding technical leader for NetDocuments' first Developer Experience (DevX) team, setting technical direction from day one.

  • Partner with the Senior Product Manager to define the team's charter, roadmap, and success metrics.
  • Recruit, hire, and mentor the Staff and Senior Software Engineers who will make up the NetDocuments DevX team.
  • Cross-Team Discovery & Liaison
  • Partner directly with geographically-disparate engineering teams to understand existing architecture, current tooling, and developer pain points.
  • Translate that context into a clear, prioritized execution plan for the DevX team.
  • Build trusted relationships across engineering teams and time zones to drive adoption of DevX-built tools and standards, without relying on formal reporting authority.
  • Travel occasionally to the US (approximately 1–2 times per year) to deepen collaboration with US engineering leadership.
  • Architecture & Build
  • Make build-vs-buy recommendations and set technical direction for internal tooling, developer platforms, and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Design and build internal tools and platform capabilities intended for use by every engineering team at NetDocuments, built to scale well beyond current needs (e.g. 10x).
  • Establish shared technical standards and patterns for tooling adopted company-wide.
  • Stay deeply hands-on, balancing spending time solving complex technical problems alongside your team.

Driving Change & Measuring Impact

  • Define and track developer productivity signals (e.g., deploy frequency, cycle time, DORA metrics) to measure DevX's impact.
  • Partner with the Product Manager and engineering teams to prioritize work based on developer pain points and data, not just technical elegance.
