Senior Engineering Manager, Developer Experience
We're transforming the grocery industry
Instacart is the North American leader in online grocery and one of the fastest-growing companies in e-commerce. Since 2012, we’ve been working towards creating a world where everyone has access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together.
Groceries delivered to your door in as little as an hour. It seems simple, right? Well, it’s more complex than that. From re-routing deliveries during snowstorms, to connecting customers with coupons and deals for their favorite brands, to updating over half a billion grocery data lines every night...our efforts bring Instacart closer to being the operating system for the grocery industry.
OVERVIEW
Part of the Developer Infrastructure & Productivity Pillar, the Developer Experience team at Instacart is responsible for enabling streamlined development workflows across all our engineering organizations. With 1000+ developers making hundreds of thousands of changes every year, every second spent waiting for an environment to spin up or tests to run counts. Our development environments are large and complex and laptops can no longer run all the code and systems we want locally. The DevXP team builds products and services that allow developers to spin up on-demand, personal and ephemeral development environments on the cloud within minutes while they develop on their laptop as they would against a local environment, test their changes against real world data-sets and confidently put up PRs for review, knowing exactly what their code does and how it will impact production
