Senior Software Engineer, Developer Experience

At this tier one trading firm, technology isn't just part of the business - it is the business. With a global team of 1,000+ engineers moving billions in microseconds, developer experience isn't an afterthought; it's the foundation everything else is built on.

That's where you come in. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Developer Experience team, you'll be at the heart of a greenfield platform build that's reshaping how one of the world's most sophisticated engineering organisations ships code.

What you'll do:

• Lead the design and delivery of a unified CI system that can support teams across regions Integrate AI assistants like Copilot and Cursor across the development lifecycle in ways that go beyond off-the-shelf
• Build elegant developer tooling that abstracts away complexity so engineers can focus on high-value problems
• Champion a culture of automation, fast feedback, and effortless onboarding
• Shape the next decade of this company's technical foundations — and the products they power

The impact is outsized: improvements you make compound across every team in the firm. You won't just be adopting new technologies, you'll be deciding which ones teams get access to in the first place.

What we're looking for:

• Passionate about developer experience, productivity, and tooling
• Strong background in software engineering, build & release, or infrastructure
• Deep understanding of CI/CD systems, build tools, and artifact management
• Excited about integrating AI into established development workflows
• Able to navigate ambiguity and drive technical decisions in a fast-paced environment

If you're energized by high-stakes engineering challenges and want to create leverage that's felt firm-wide, let's talk. (danny@ocralpha.com)
