- Enhance our AWS deployment and validation mechanisms
- Build relationships and influence with platform‑owning teams to support prioritisation and inner‑sourcing opportunities
- Partner with Capital One teams in the US to in‑source contributions to internal developer tools
- Operate as a Developer Advocate, building a network of connections across engineering to hear about friction and opportunities to improve developer experience
What we’re looking for
- Great communicator, willing to get involved, talk to our customers, share ideas, teach and lead among peers
- Happy working across a variety of technologies and platforms to identify and solve complex problems across the technology stack
- Truly cares about improving each developer’s experience
- Analytical mindset with a clear focus on delivering value for the organisation and our customers inline with stakeholder expectations
