Developer Experience Engineer

About the role

Clarity is redefining how private companies and their shareholders access liquidity through an institutional‑grade platform that brings together buyers, sellers, and issuers to facilitate secondary transactions in venture‑backed, pre‑IPO companies. Recognized as one of Canada's fastest‑growing companies and backed by leading U.S. investors, Clarity is profitable, well‑capitalized, and building a high‑performance team to meet growing demand and pursue new market opportunities. As a Developer Experience Engineer, you will build tooling, workflows, and AI‑enabled development practices that help every engineer move faster, treating Engineering as your customer and shaping how AI becomes part of day‑to‑day engineering work.

Responsibilities

• Build internal tools, templates, scripts, and workflows that reduce friction across local development, testing, CI/CD, deployment, observability, and code review.
• Lead practical AI adoption across Engineering by evaluating tools, designing usage patterns, creating examples, and helping teams apply AI safely in real delivery work.
• Partner with product engineers to discover bottlenecks, prioritize the highest‑impact improvements, and measure whether tooling changes improve speed, quality, or developer satisfaction.
• Create and maintain golden paths for common engineering workflows, including new services, environment setup, recurring development tasks, and release processes.
• Improve documentation, onboarding, and self‑service support so engineers can solve common workflow problems without interrupting other teams.
• Design automation that removes repetitive work, reduces manual handoffs, and makes engineering systems easier to operate.
• Contribute production‑quality code and collaborate closely with platform, product engineering, security, and data teams.

Required Skills

• Experience building internal developer tools, platform tooling, engineering productivity systems, CI/CD workflows, or comparable software infrastructure.
• Strong software engineering ability in at least one modern programming language, with enough range to work across scripts, services, APIs, and developer‑facing integrations.
• Practical experience with AI‑assisted development tools, coding agents, workflow automation, or applying AI to software delivery.
• Ability to turn ambiguous developer pain points into clear problems, lightweight experiments, and shipped tooling improvements.
• Experience with modern development workflows, including Git, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, and production operations.
• Clear written communication and documentation habits, especially for internal technical audiences.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with developer portals, service templates, internal platforms, Backstage, or similar self‑service tooling.
• Experience in a high‑growth fintech, marketplace, or regulated technology environment.
• Familiarity with infrastructure as code, containers, cloud platforms, or deployment automation.
• Experience creating internal enablement programs, engineering playbooks, or AI adoption guidelines.
