Developer Experience (DX) Lead

Company Description

Job Description

WHAT YOU WILL BE WORKING ON

Cross-Studio Technical Enablement

• Work closely with studio Technical Directors, leads, and senior engineers to understand how development workflows operate in practice.
• Gain hands-on familiarity with multiple engines, tech stacks, and build pipelines used across teams.
• Identify recurring patterns, friction points, technical risks, and opportunities for simplification or convergence across teams (pipelines, tooling, CI/CD, testing, iteration speed).
• Support teams in aligning on shared approaches where it brings clear benefits — without enforcing uniform solutions.

Initiative & Mission Building

• Turn observations from the field into clear, actionable technical initiatives.
• Help scope these initiatives, define success criteria, and support the setup of small, focused missions with the right contributors.
• Contribute to the evolution of shared pipelines and workflows when doing so improves consistency, reliability, or development velocity, and reduces delivery or scalability risks.
• Help maintain momentum and clarity across initiatives through coordination and follow-up.

Shared Practices & References

• Contribute to the definition of lightweight shared practices, reference workflows, or examples when they help teams work more effectively.
• Encourage reuse of tools, engine integrations, pipelines, and solutions that have proven value and acceptable risk profiles.
• Monitor adoption and outcomes, adjusting approaches based on real usage, feedback, and observed risk trends.

AI-Assisted Development (Enablement-Focused)

• Explore where AI-assisted tooling can be practically useful for engineers (e.g. code review, refactoring, testing, migrations, documentation).
• Support teams in experimenting with and adopting AI tools in a safe, responsible, and incremental way.
• Help shape usage guidelines and guardrails together with engineers.
• Maintain a clear view of where AI adds value and where it does not, including associated technical or operational risks.

Communication & Alignment

• Maintain close, ongoing exchange with technical teams across studios.
• Share learnings, patterns, and examples across teams to encourage reuse and convergence.
• Provide visibility on recurring technical themes, identified risks, and progress of ongoing initiatives.

Qualifications

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

• 8+ years in game/software engineering; shipped titles or production tooling.
• T-shaped: experience with multiple engines, tech stacks and build / CI-CD pipelines, with real depth in at least one (build/release, engine integration, or DX tooling).
• Proven at driving cross-team change through influence, without direct authority - strong facilitation and stakeholder management.
• Producer-like coordination: scoping initiatives, defining success criteria, running small focused missions, follow-through.
• AI-assisted dev tools experience (code review, refactoring, testing, migrations)

WHO YOU ARE

• Excellent communicator (English): turns messy technical reality into clear, shared narratives; credible with engineers and leadership alike.
• Pragmatic and risk-aware: sound judgment on where convergence / AI tooling helps and where it does not.
• Comfortable in a distributed, multi-studio, multi-timezone organization.
• Nice to have: DevEx / build-release background.
