A Career that Empowers You to Build Your Future
Join Cloud Engineering as the Engineering Manager for the Developer Experience (DevEx) team, the group that builds and operates the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) used by every engineering team at Lennar. You will lead a team of engineers who own the Spotify Portal (built on Backstage), the CI/CD workflow library, GitHub Enterprise administration, HCP Terraform, and application security tooling.
In this role, you will set the team’s technical direction, champion good software engineering practices across the organization, and own the platform roadmap that shapes how productively engineers across Lennar build and ship software.
Your Responsibilities on the Team
Lead and develop a team of Developer Experience engineers, setting technical standards, coaching engineers across seniority levels, and building a team culture with high standards for code quality and a strong InnerSource contribution ethic.
Own the strategic roadmap for Lennar’s Spotify Portal, the internal developer platform every engineering team uses to scaffold, catalog, and operate their services; prioritize investments in templates, plugins, and platform capabilities that reduce friction and accelerate delivery across the organization.
Drive platform adoption across all Lennar Technology Group domains; ensure teams are onboarded to the golden-path templates, CI/CD workflows, and platform standards that DevEx maintains.
Lead the GitHub Enterprise administration strategy for Lennar’s engineering organization, including org governance, access provisioning, and enterprise policies.
Oversee the reusable GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow library that powers every Portal-scaffolded service; set quality gates, security scanning, and deployment standards so teams inherit best practices without configuring them from scratch.
Govern the HCP Terraform platform: workspace provisioning, module registry, and no-code module infrastructure; drive the standards work that eliminates toil, reduces support burden, and gives application teams a reliable self-service path to cloud infrastructure.
Lead the application security tooling strategy: drive the GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) rollout as the standard AppSec platform, consolidate and rationalize code scanning tooling, and ensure security scanning is embedded in every CI/CD pipeline through the shared workflow library.
Champion Lennar’s InnerSource model by growing the contributor community around the portal, templates, plugins, and CI/CD workflows; define contribution standards, maintain the governance framework, and serve as leadership sponsor for the Cloud Contributors program.
Define and track DORA metrics, developer productivity KPIs, and platform health signals through the DevEx Metrics dashboard; quantify the value of platform investments.
Communicate platform and infrastructure work clearly to executive and non-technical audiences, covering tradeoffs, investment rationale, and risks so stakeholders can make informed decisions.
Establish and continuously improve the team’s operating cadence: sprint planning, retrospectives, platform reviews, documentation standards, and support rotations. Build the processes that let the team scale its platform portfolio without degrading quality or response time.
Manage vendor relationships for the DevEx toolchain, including Spotify, GitHub, HashiCorp/HCP, and others, covering contract renewals, license management, and procurement decisions aligned with engineering strategy.
Represent Developer Experience in architecture reviews, incident retrospectives, and cross-functional planning forums; ensure DevEx roadmap investments are visible and understood at the Cloud Engineering leadership level.
Recruit, develop, and retain strong DevEx engineering talent, covering hiring decisions, leveling, performance management, and career progression for direct reports; build a team culture that attracts engineers who care about developer productivity.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field preferred.
7+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3 years in a people management role leading DevOps or Developer Experience teams.
Proven track record managing DevOps or Developer Experience teams responsible for shared tooling, CI/CD platforms, and internal developer platforms, with direct ownership of the platform roadmap and adoption strategy.
Deep familiarity with Internal Developer Portal (IDP) concepts and platforms; hands-on experience with Backstage or Spotify Portal preferred, including software templates, service catalog design, and plugin architecture.
Strong understanding of good software engineering practices: code quality, testing standards, trunk-based development, CI/CD pipeline design, security scanning, and the developer workflows that enable teams to ship reliably.
Proven track record of leadership in Agile environments, with excellent communication and collaboration skills, and a passion for mentoring and empowering team members.
Solid knowledge of GitHub Enterprise Cloud administration: org governance, SSO/SCIM, branch protection policies, GitHub Actions, and GitHub Advanced Security.
Working knowledge of HashiCorp tooling: Terraform for infrastructure as code and HCP Terraform workspace management.
Familiarity with AWS services relevant to a developer platform: IAM, SSM Parameter Store, ECR, EKS, Lambda, and CodeArtifact.
Experience owning and communicating an engineering roadmap: translating OKRs into quarterly goals, managing competing stakeholder demands, and making the case for platform investments to senior leadership.
Track record of driving adoption of shared developer platforms across a multi-team engineering organization, with measurable reduction in developer friction or support overhead.
Familiarity with DORA metrics and how to use developer productivity data to guide platform investment decisions and demonstrate team value.
Strong communication skills; able to represent platform decisions in architecture reviews and articulate technical tradeoffs clearly to non-technical leaders.
Bonus: Hands-on experience building Backstage plugins or custom scaffolder actions; experience with InnerSource or open-source community governance; familiarity with AppSec tooling lifecycles including GHAS, Dependabot, or CodeQL; experience in a large distributed engineering organization (500+ engineers) where platform standardization at scale was a central challenge.
