Lead Software Engineer - Developer Experience/DevEx (F/M/D)

THE OPPORTUNITY

At NavVis, we build cutting-edge technology that powers spatial intelligence across industries. As a Developer Experience Engineer, you will shape how our developers build, test, and ship world-class software. 

This role is for a software engineer who cares deeply about how software is built and efficient developer workflows. You will design and build developer tooling, improve local development workflows, and remove friction in how engineers write, test, and iterate code. 

While you will collaborate with infrastructure and DevOps teams, your primary focus is the developer inner loop — build speed, test reliability, tooling, and engineering productivity. 

If you enjoy enhancing build systems, scaling CI/CD pipelines, and crafting a smooth end-to-end developer experience, this role offers both autonomy and the opportunity to influence engineering excellence at NavVis. 

 

HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT

• You will enhance the end-to-end developer experience by improving local development environments, build systems, testing workflows, and internal development tooling. 

• You will majorly contribute to the building, testing, and releasing processes on our CI/CD system to improve developer velocity and reduce friction across engineering teams. 

• You are responsible for creating robust tooling, frameworks, and automation that streamline code development, testing, and deployment workflows. 

• You will ensure and sustain close collaboration with engineering teams to identify workflow pain points, establish best practices, and drive improvements in onboarding, productivity, and internal processes. 

• You act as a catalyst for engineering excellence by championing developer-centric solutions, continuously evaluating new tools, and proposing improvements to how we build and deliver software. 

 

WHAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED IN THE ROLE

• A Bachelor’s/Master's degree in computer science or relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience 

• You bring 5+ years as a Software Engineer, with significant experience improving developer workflows, build systems, or internal tooling 

• Proven experience in building and deploying C++ and Python applications 

• Proven experience in modern build systems and source control workflows (e.g. CMake, Bazel, Git, devcontainers)  

• Strong experience with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, TeamCity, etc.) 

• Proven experience in Linux systems knowledge and command-line proficiency (Ubuntu/Debian preferred) 

• Hands-on experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) 

• Familarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Ansible, Terraform, or Helm 

• Scripting skills in Python or Bash for automation 

• A strong passion for improving developer productivity, paired with excellent communication, collaboration, and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset
