[Hiring] Senior Developer - Platform @Jane

Role Description

Hi, I'm James, and I help lead the Infrastructure & Enablement group at Jane. Platform Engineering and Developer Experience are career passions of mine, and both are areas critical to our group here. One of the many reasons I joined Jane was to help developers here spend more time helping our helpers and less time worrying about day-to-day development.

Jane's product development org grew from 250 to almost 500 staff in about two and a half years. Roughly 350 of us ship software every day leveraging GitHub, Jira, AWS, and more. We've rapidly outgrown the side-of-desk administration of these platforms that are key to our software and product delivery lifecycle. Helping shape the developer experience through settings, security, governance, and implementation in these tools is what the Developer Operations team is all about.

That's the job. You'd be a foundational builder as part of a new Developer Operations team, and the first dragon to wrangle is GitHub. GitHub is your platform to own end to end:

• Help drive a more mature baseline, automate it, roll it out, and support the teams already using it.
• Make the tools we already use genuinely delightful to use, so the safe path is also the easy, default path.
• Ensure every repo at Jane is compliant with a defined operational and security baseline within twelve months.
• Take on administration and integration of all key tools in our SDLC, and help introduce new ones as needed.

You own this with real independence, but with the support and guidance of working groups that have already done the hard thinking on what the baselines should be. Partners in Security, Delivery Engineering, Backend Foundations, Developer Acceleration, and more already care deeply about the outcome, but you're responsible for taking that guidance and making it a reality.

Agentic and AI development raise the value of getting this system humming now, rather than later. The same model continues to streamline our SDLC from end-to-end encompassing Jira, DataDog, and whatever comes next. You're helping shape how this team works before there's even a team to shape.

You'd be joining a group that treats developer experience as real work with real leverage. Over 300 people will have their day-to-day lives made better because of the choices you get to make.

If you like the idea of taking a sprawling, underserved platform and turning it into something people trust, I'd love to meet you.

Qualifications

Requirements

• Be the accountable owner of GitHub at Jane.
• Collaborate to build the golden path so the safe path is the default path.
• Automate compliance instead of policing it.
