About the Role at Nscale

We're hiring a Senior Manager, Developer Platforms to build the function that owns how Nscale's engineers ship software: the developer toolchain, CI/CD, code quality standards, AI coding tools and the metrics that track them.

Reporting to the SVP of Corporate Engineering, you'll be the dedicated owner across all engineering teams, partnering with engineering, security and compliance. This is a hands-on build role: you'll establish the tooling and governance model from scratch, then build the business case to hire and lead a Developer Platforms team as the scope grows.

Your work will give engineers the tools and standards to move quickly, alongside the access controls and operating guardrails to use agentic tools while managing security and audit risks.

What you'll be doing

Developer Toolchain and Code Quality

  • Own the developer toolchain, including source control, CI/CD, build and test infrastructure, development environments, and integrations with issue tracking and observability tools.
  • Set code review, testing and CI standards across engineering, and build the test infrastructure to support them.
  • Manage developer tooling vendors and spend.

AI Tooling and Governance

  • Lead adoption of AI coding agents and AI review and testing tools, adapting the tooling and policies based on how engineers actually work.
  • Design and implement the access and governance model for agentic coding tools: which repositories and environments agents can access, which actions require human approval, how actions are logged and attributed, and how these controls map to compliance frameworks.
  • Define and enforce guardrails for autonomous agents in production-adjacent systems, including least-privilege access, audit trails, rollback paths and incident response when an agent takes an unintended action.

Measurement and Team Building

  • Track software delivery, developer experience and AI usage through metrics such as DORA and developer surveys, and use what you learn to set priorities.
  • Build the business case for a Developer Platforms team as the scope grows.
  • Hire and lead the Developer Platforms team.

KPIs

  • Software delivery performance (DORA metrics)
  • Developer experience (developer survey results)
  • AI coding-tool usage

About You

  • You have 8+ years of experience in platform, DevOps, infrastructure or developer-productivity engineering, including experience leading people.
  • You've owned CI/CD and source control for a sizable engineering organisation and remain hands-on.
  • You've rolled out and governed AI coding tools for a team or company, such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot or similar tools.
  • You have working knowledge of access control, audit logging and compliance frameworks, and can translate security and compliance requirements into practical engineering guardrails.
  • You've raised code quality and testing standards across multiple teams.
  • You've built something from scratch without an existing team or playbook, working through an ambiguous mandate.
  • You build effective partnerships across engineering, security and compliance, and can make progress through influence as well as authority.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
