Staff Developer Productivity Engineer

Description
About the Role
As a Staff Developer Productivity Engineer at NinjaOne, you will provide technical leadership and strategic vision across multiple projects aimed at enhancing developer productivity, automating build and deployment pipelines, and building scalable internal developer platforms. You will lead the design and implementation of critical systems including an Internal Developer Portal with automated self-service capabilities supporting developers, QA, DevOps, and other engineering disciplines.
Location - We are flexible on remote working from home, if you are located in the USA and reside in one of the following states - CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, *IL, KS, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NC, NY, OR, TN, TX, VA, and WA. We have physical offices in Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, if you prefer a hybrid option.
We hire the best software engineers, but experience in our stack can't hurt: NinjaOne is built on Java, Kotlin, C++, Golang and Postgres; supporting millions of user endpoints and running as a scalable cloud service in AWS. Knowing large-scale datastore bottlenecks, asynchronous application design and client-server architecture will help you.

• Champion metrics and observability around developer productivity (build times, test times, CI/CD stability, onboarding duration, etc.) and continuously drive measurable improvements.

• Define progressive deployment models (canary, blue-green, feature flagging) to enhance release reliability and reduce risk.

• Other duties as needed
