Lead the Developer Experience strategy, build a high-impact team, improve tooling and developer workflows, and enhance coding standards.
As we scale our platform and teams, we’re looking for a Head of Developer Experience (DevX) to lead and elevate our internal engineering ecosystem. This is a strategic, hands-on leadership role that will shape how engineers at FloQast build, test, ship, and operate software across a modern JavaScript/TypeScript stack (Node.js, React, etc.).
You will own the charter of making our engineering environment a world-class experience: fast, intuitive, consistent, and secure. You’ll work closely with engineering leadership, platform teams, and product developers to remove friction and accelerate delivery while fostering a culture of craftsmanship.

What You'll Do
- Define and own the Developer Experience strategy across all product engineering teams.
- Build and lead a high-impact DevX team focused on tooling, standards, developer productivity, and inner-sourcing.
- Champion modern software delivery practices: CI/CD, test automation, telemetry, and feedback loops.
- Partner with backend (Node.js) and frontend (JavaScript/TypeScript) teams to create a consistent and joyful development workflow.
- Lead efforts to simplify local development, environment provisioning, and onboarding.
- Standardize best practices and frameworks for testing, linting, code quality, and documentation.
- Evaluate, build, and integrate tools that improve build times, reduce cognitive load, and enable rapid iteration.
- Own and optimize developer tooling (CLI tools, scaffolding, code generators, etc.), CI/CD pipelines and developer telemetry.
- Be a vocal advocate for developer empathy, continuous improvement, and engineering enablement.
- Create programs for knowledge sharing, internal documentation, and tech talks.
- Measure and improve developer productivity through feedback, data, and iterative improvement.
What You'll Bring
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2–3 years focused on DevX, Platform Engineering, or Developer Tooling.
- Proven experience building, leading, and mentoring high-performing engineering teams.
- Deep understanding of modern frontend (JavaScript/TypeScript) and backend (Node.js) development.
- Expertise in modern CI/CD practices, containerization (Docker), and cloud-native development.
- Experience designing and implementing developer workflows, internal platforms, or self-service infrastructure.
- Strong collaboration skills; able to influence and align diverse engineering teams toward common goals.
- A bias for action, empathy for engineers, and a passion for creating frictionless development environments.
Nice To Have
- Experience in fast-scaling SaaS environments.
- Familiarity with monorepo tooling (e.g., Nx, Turborepo), GraphQL, or microservices architectures.
- Prior experience supporting a multi-product engineering organization.
