Job Summary
As our new Head of Developer Experience (DevEx), you will architect, commercialize, and govern a global portfolio of DevEx services that help engineering teams build, ship, and operate software faster and smarter. Reporting to the VP of Solutions Strategy & Commercialization and working closely with our Chief AI Officer (CAIO), you will turn market pain points—platform sprawl, toolchain fragmentation, slow software velocity—into repeatable solutions that embed AI as a design principle, not just a tool.
You’ll collaborate with consulting, solution engineering, marketing, alliances, and delivery teams to shape offerings that span advisory, analysis, and implementation—ultimately giving developers time back and giving organizations a competitive edge.
Things You’ll Be Working On
Solution Strategy & Governance
-Define DevEx service architecture (accelerators, discovery & transformation offers) that solve real-world pain, not just pitch tech
-Establish scope, intake criteria, pricing models, and commercial guardrails
-Govern delivery standards, quality benchmarks, and knowledge assets across engagements
-Embed AI copilots, LLM workflows, and automation into solution blueprints
GTM & Commercialization
-Translate market signals into differentiated, viable services—especially those enabled by AI
-Drive co-sell motion with Atlassian GTM teams for DevEx solutions
-Support presales with positioning, diagnostics, and client-facing collateral
-Package high-impact AI use cases (code summarization, incident response, deployment automation, etc.)
Delivery Alignment
-Partner -with practice leads on resource planning, skill mapping, and delivery playbooks
-Run retrospectives to refine scope, improve IP reusability, and validate market fit
AI-Integrated DevEx
-Identify where AI pair programming, intelligent observability, and release automation reduce friction
-Lead experiments that prove measurable gains in developer throughput and quality
Internal Leadership
-Coach sales and delivery teams on when and how to position DevEx offerings
-Report on solution performance, attach rates, delivery margin, and client outcomes

Proven success building or leading DevEx or Platform Engineering initiatives in complex organizations
Deep knowledge of modern SDLC workflows and toolchains (Jira, GitHub/GitLab, CI/CD, observability)
Familiarity with emerging AI applications that augment developers (copilots, code generation, automated testing)
Strong commercial acumen: structuring offers, pricing for value, evaluating delivery models
