Role: Technical Lead - Engineering Talent Acceleration
Location: Newark, DE
Job Description:
Owns end-to-end delivery of developer experience and engineering capability-building across the organization: the developer portal, delivery metrics, architecture guidance, and the technical upskilling program (including AI-assisted development). Identifies systemic friction in the engineering org and delivers the platform, curriculum, and community programs that remove it. Runs the offshore team day-to-day on portal/tooling build-out and stays hands-on to unblock delivery risk.
Key Responsibilities
Own the roadmap and delivery of the developer portal (self-service tooling, documentation, service catalog).
Deliver DORA metrics and OKR dashboards to measure delivery health across engineering teams.
Identify and prioritize friction points in the developer experience; ship platform/process fixes.
Define and evangelize modern architecture patterns and testing practices as organization-wide guidance.
Set standards for production operations (on-call, runbooks, operational readiness) across teams.
Design and deliver the technical curriculum for upskilling engineers, including on AI-assisted development (Copilot, Claude Code, and emerging tools like BMAD/Kiro/GSD etc).
Drive community building initiatives (guilds, brown bags, internal tech talks) and organize hackathons.
Evaluate and pilot new AI development tools/skills, and decide what gets adopted org-wide.
Run day-to-day delivery of the offshore development team supporting the portal and dashboards: sprint commitments, code review, real-time unblocking, and hands-on work on critical-path items.
Report delivery status, risks, and blockers to engineering leadership.
Must-Have Qualifications
8+ years in software engineering, with 3+ years as a tech lead owning end-to-end delivery of developer-experience or platform initiatives (not a pure design/review architect role).
Proven track record of shipping developer-platform initiatives on committed timelines, including hands-on troubleshooting under delivery pressure.
Proven experience building and operating a developer portal (e.g., Backstage or equivalent).
Strong experience designing DORA metrics/OKR dashboards and using them to drive engineering improvement.
Demonstrated ability to diagnose organizational friction points and translate them into platform or process solutions.
Deep, broad knowledge of modern architecture patterns and testing practices across multiple tech stacks.
Experience with production operations standards (incident response, runbooks, SRE practices).
Proven experience designing technical curricula and running enablement/training programs at scale.
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar) and evaluating emerging tools.
Experience running hackathons and community-building programs.
Financial-services or regulated-industry engineering-culture experience preferred.
Excellent communication and facilitation skills; able to influence across the engineering org and directly manage day-to-day delivery of an offshore team (standups, unblocking, sprint accountability).
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
Direct experience with Backstage plugin development.
Familiarity with emerging AI dev tools (Specprime, BMAD, Kiro, or similar) beyond mainstream Copilot/Claude Code.
Experience speaking at or organizing external developer conferences/meetups.
Background in technical training/curriculum design as a primary discipline (e.g., prior DevRel or L&D role).
