What we're looking for
- 5+ years of experience leading complex cross-functional programs in a technical organization, especially where decisions are shared across multiple stakeholders.
- Background in developer experience, developer productivity, engineering effectiveness, internal platform programs, technical program management, or a related function.
- Familiarity with AI-accelerated development workflows, and an understanding of the tools, adoption patterns, and measurement challenges that come with them.
- Working familiarity with developer productivity and developer experience measurement frameworks (DORA, SPACE, DX Core 4, or similar), and a point of view on where they help and where they fall short.
- Ability to design evaluation frameworks, structure pilots, and turn mixed quantitative and qualitative inputs into clear recommendations.
- Strong judgment in ambiguous environments. You bring structure to messy inputs, clarify tradeoffs, and help teams move to decisions.
- Comfort partnering with engineering teams and technical leaders without needing to be an engineer yourself.
- Experience coordinating across partner functions such as Security, IT, Finance, or Procurement.
- Strong written and verbal communication, including executive-ready recommendations, pilot readouts, and concise decision-oriented summaries.
Bonus points for
- Direct experience with AI developer tools such as coding assistants, code review tools, or agent frameworks.
- Hands-on experience with developer productivity measurement platforms or dashboards (e.g., DX, Jellyfish, LinearB, or in-house equivalents).
- Background in software engineering, engineering management, or technical program management.
What you can expect
- Translate developer experience signals into program priorities.
- Synthesize tooling data, measurement outputs, pilot results, and developer feedback into actionable insights.
- Bring those insights into portfolio planning, measurement reviews, and roadmap conversations with partner teams.
- Turn insights into clear recommendations on where to invest, expand, rationalize, or retire tools and related programs.
- Lead the developer experience measurement program.
- Own the day-to-day program leadership for 1Password’s developer experience measurement platform: coverage, data quality, reporting cadences, and how signals are used operationally.
- Partner with Platform Engineering on metrics platform priorities, instrumentation, and data integrity, while owning program structure, stakeholder alignment, and operating cadence.
- Build the operating mechanisms that make developer experience and tooling data useful for decision-making.
- Support investment and portfolio decisions with adoption reporting, usage analysis, and impact-oriented recommendations.
- Evolve the measurement model as software delivery changes, especially where traditional signals become less representative of AI-native work.
- Run developer tooling evaluation, pilots, and portfolio governance.
- Own intake, prioritization, and evaluation workflows for developer tools across the SDLC, with a near-term focus on AI tooling.
- Maintain the evaluation frameworks, decision criteria, and review mechanisms used to assess new tools and changes across the portfolio.
- Design and run structured pilots with clear hypotheses, baselines, success criteria, and decision points.
- Coordinate security review, integration approval, and related governance, including emerging integration patterns such as MCPs.
- Partner with IT, Finance, and Procurement on provisioning, licensing, renewals, and cost visibility across the portfolio.
What success looks like
- Engineering ships faster and with higher confidence because tooling decisions are streamlined and grounded in clear evaluation frameworks, pilots, and cross-functional input from Platform Engineering, Security, IT, Finance, and Procurement.
- The tooling portfolio is actively managed, with clear visibility into what to adopt, expand, rationalize, or retire.
- The developer experience measurement program is trusted and regularly used to guide investment and prioritization, with operating mechanisms that leaders and partner teams rely on.
- Investment recommendations are backed by a clear mix of adoption data, usage trends, developer feedback, pilot results, and measurement insights.
- The measurement model keeps pace with how software delivery is changing, especially around AI-native work.
