This job is with S&P Global, an inclusive employer and a member of myGwork - the largest global platform for the LGBTQ+ business community. Please do not contact the recruiter directly. About the Role: Grade Level (for internal use): 15 The Team: Enterprise Technology & Platforms delivers cross-enterprise technology products, services, and capabilities to S&P Global's organizations and employees worldwide. The Developer Experience and Product Enablement function will own and evolve the enterprise product and software development lifecycle toolchain - the agentic PDLC - bringing together platforms, governance, support, productivity insights, and AI-native product management and engineering capabilities. It spans the full path from discovery and customer insight through definition, design, build, release, and in-market measurement, treating product management and engineering as one connected system rather than two adjacent toolsets. The team will operate as an enterprise hub, partnering closely with divisional CTO and product organizations and embedded practitioners to preserve business context while creating a consistent, scalable experience for both builders and the product leaders who direct them. Responsibilities and Impact: Approximately 10,000 developers across S&P Global build software on a common toolchain, and the product managers, designers, and analysts who decide what gets built work alongside them on a second, largely disconnected one. This role owns both and joins them. That toolchain is critical infrastructure for product discovery, software delivery, engineering productivity, security, resilience, and AI-native development. The role will reduce fragmentation and duplication, close the handoff gaps between product intent and shipped software, strengthen governance and support, and make developer and product experience a measurable strategic capability. Set the enterprise Developer Experience and Product Enablement strategy, product vision, roadmap, operating model, and investment priorities in partnership with the CIO leadership team, divisional CTOs, divisional heads of product, and other senior technology and product leaders. Own the full lifecycle of enterprise software development platforms and tools, including source code management, code collaboration, CI/CD, build engineering, developer environments, code quality and scanning, cloud development infrastructure, and related integrations. Own the full lifecycle of enterprise product management platforms and tools, including customer and market research repositories, idea intake and opportunity assessment, roadmapping and portfolio planning, requirements and specification authoring, design and prototyping, work management and backlog tooling, experimentation and feature management, product analytics, and voice-of-customer and feedback aggregation. Connect the two halves into a single agentic PDLC, establishing the traceable thread from customer insight to opportunity, specification, design, commit, release, and in-market outcome, so that product intent, engineering work, and measured impact reconcile in one system of record rather than in status decks. Manage the toolchain as a coherent portfolio of enterprise products, with clear customer outcomes, service levels, adoption goals, cost transparency, platform health measures, and accountable product ownership. Build a trusted partnership model with divisional CTOs, heads of product, executive sponsors, and embedded divisional practitioners to align enterprise standards with business-specific product and engineering requirements. Lead the consolidation of fragmented tooling, resources, licenses, support processes, and automation across both the product and engineering estates, reducing duplication while managing transitions without disrupting delivery. Establish a scalable support and self-service ecosystem for developers and product teams, including developer and product portals, template and artifact libraries, knowledge management, onboarding, access and license management, AI-assisted triage, and expert escalation. Own advocacy and community across both disciplines, including communities of practice, technical and product evangelism, onboarding and enablement content, craft standards for specifications and discovery practice, change communications, and structured feedback loops that earn adoption rather than mandate it. Own the innersource ecosystem, applying open-source working practice to proprietary code so that shared libraries, contribution standards, maintainer stewardship, and IP guardrails make reuse across divisions the default rather than the exception. Define and govern the enterprise approach to AI-native and agentic product development and software engineering, including approved tools, guardrails, model and data access, reusable agent workflows spanning research synthesis, specification drafting, prototype generation, code generation, and release readiness, platform integrations, experimentation, and responsible adoption. Create an enterprise measurement system for product and developer productivity and experience, including DORA metrics, cycle time from idea to release, adoption and utilization measures, tool ROI, practitioner sentiment, friction mapping, product outcome and experimentation results, and executive reporting. Build and lead a high-performing global organization across platform engineering, product management, product operations, design and research enablement, developer support, data and analytics, and forward-deployed AI engineering, with clear accountability and a strong talent strategy. Maintain strong operational rigor, security, resilience, financial management, vendor governance, and continuous improvement across the enterprise toolchain. Compensation/Benefits Information: S&P Global states that the anticipated base salary range for this position is $220,000 to $350,000. Final base salary for this role will be based on the individual's geographic location, as well as experience level, skill set, training, licenses and certifications. In addition to base compensation, this role is eligible for an annual incentive plan. This role is not eligible for additional compensation such as an annual incentive bonus or sales commission plan. This role is eligible to receive additional S&P Global benefits. For more information on the benefits we provide to our employees, please click here . What We're Looking For: Basic Required Qualifications: A proven enterprise technology leader who has previously built, transformed, and operated a large-scale Developer Experience, developer platform, DevSecOps, or software engineering enablement function. Minimum of 15 years of progressive technology leadership experience, including responsibility for globally scaled engineering platforms, products, or shared services. Has held enterprise decision rights over tooling used by teams outside their own reporting line, with examples of contested standardization decisions reached alongside divisional CTOs and the trade-offs accepted on risk, cost, and developer experience. Direct ownership of modern product and software development lifecycle platforms in production, including design, source control, CI/CD, building systems, artifact management, developer environments, cloud development infrastructure, application security tooling, and platform integrations. Has owned a platform product roadmap with developers as the customer, including at least one decision to retire or deprioritize a tool that still had an installed user base. Has consolidated overlapping toolchains across multiple business units, and can speak to what was retired, what was recovered in licenses and effort, and how migrations were sequenced without interrupting delivery. Has rolled out AI-assisted development tooling to a developer population at scale, with measured adoption to show for it and defensible answers on guardrails, intellectual property, and model access. Has hired, built, and led a globally distributed organization spanning platform engineering, product management, developer support, and analytics. Excellent executive communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to translate technical complexity into clear business decisions, trade-offs, and measurable outcomes. Undergraduate degree required; advanced degree or equivalent relevant experience preferred.

Job Description The Calling Somewhere tonight, a cold start is creeping through a production function. A memory leak is feeding on a container that nobody has looked at in months. A long-lived credential sits in a forgotten config file, waiting. Safience builds identity intelligence for the people who find missing children and stop real threats. When an investigator needs an answer, our systems cannot go dark. So we need an engineer who stands the watch. You will design, build, and operate Node.js services on AWS Lambda and Docker-based containers. Fastify is your blade. Vue.js is your shield. Terraform is your book of wards. You own services end to end: the code, the infrastructure, the pipelines, the lanterns that light every corridor, and the 3 a.m. page when something stirs. You set the direction for serverless and containerized workloads across a multi-account AWS realm, and you make every engineer around you sharper through review, documentation, and mentorship. Sacred DutiesForging the Weapons (Application Development) Forge production Node.js services in TypeScript with Fastify and Vue.js, deployed as Lambda functions (zip and container-image packaging) and as containers on ECS/Fargate. Raise event-driven defenses with API Gateway, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Step Functions, and DynamoDB/Kinesis streams. Messages move like sentries passing the watchword. Write idempotent, retry-safe handlers. A message that returns from the dead should find nothing to repeat. You decide what happens in the dead-letter queue, and you report partial batch failures honestly. Banish the cold start. Shrink bundles, tune memory and timeouts, and set concurrency and provisioned concurrency so performance and cost both stay in the light. Raising the Walls (Infrastructure & Containers) Inscribe the wards in Terraform: remote state, modular design, and no change goes live without a second pair of eyes. Build lean, hardened Docker images with multi-stage builds, pinned base images, deterministic installs, and non-root users. Nothing runs as root in this house. Tend the image crypt in Amazon ECR: tagging strategy, vulnerability scanning, and retention policies. Old images are laid to rest on schedule. Patrol multiple AWS accounts with cross-account IAM roles and least-privilege policies. No spirit gets a skeleton key. Sealing the Gates (CI/CD & Release Engineering) Own GitHub Actions pipelines for build, test, scan, and deploy, using OIDC federation to AWS. Long-lived credentials are how the darkness gets in. Deploy with discipline: Lambda aliases and versions with weighted traffic shifting, ECS rolling or blue/green deployments, and automated rollback on alarm. When the bell rings, we retreat in good order. Guard the supply lines with lockfiles, private package registries, and automated vulnerability and license scanning. Nothing enters the camp unexamined. Keeping Watch (Observability & Operations) Instrument everything with structured logging, metrics, and distributed tracing (CloudWatch and/or OpenTelemetry). Shadows hide where logs are missing. Define SLOs, alarms, and dashboards. Take your turn on the on-call rotation, lead incident response, and run blameless postmortems. We hunt the cause, never the person. Watch the AWS bill for the services you own. Waste is a slow haunting. Wards and Seals (Security) Keep secrets in AWS Secrets Manager and SSM Parameter Store, encrypted with KMS. Secrets are never spoken aloud or written in plain text. Secure the network paths for VPC-attached Lambdas and Fargate tasks: subnets, security groups, VPC endpoints, and NAT trade-offs. Join security reviews and threat modeling, and close out findings. Name the threat before it names you. Leading the Order (Leadership) Lead technical design for new services and write design docs that face the hard choices squarely (Lambda vs. Fargate, sync vs. async). Review code thoroughly and train the mid-level and junior engineers who will stand the watch after you. Keep the scrolls current: runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding docs. Proof of Battle (Required Qualifications) Years in the field. 6+ years of professional software development. 4+ building and operating production Node.js services. 3+ running production workloads on AWS Lambda and ECS/Fargate. You've carried a service from first sketch to launch to the night it tried to fall over, and you were the one who picked up the phone. Your arsenal. Node.js / TypeScript: You know the event loop the way a sailor knows the tide. Async patterns, streams, memory behavior, CommonJS and ESM, and typing that actually protects you. Fastify: Designing, building, and migrating APIs onto it. Vue.js: Designing, building, and migrating UIs with it. AWS Lambda: Handler lifecycle, execution environment reuse, the concurrency model, event source mappings, layers, container-image functions, and runtime upgrades before they become emergencies. AWS core services: IAM, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Step Functions, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch, ECR, ECS/Fargate, and VPC fundamentals. AWS SDK for JavaScript v3: Modular clients, middleware, pagination, and retry configuration. Docker: Multi-stage builds, layer caching, image hardening, and debugging containers both locally and in production. Terraform: Real production use, including state management, modules, and workspaces or per-environment layouts. CI/CD: GitHub Actions or something comparable, with environment promotion and automated testing gates. Testing: Unit, integration, and contract tests (Jest, Vitest, or ava), plus local Lambda emulation with SAM CLI or LocalStack. Datastores: Working proficiency with MongoDB or DocumentDB, and ElasticSearch or OpenSearch. Honors of Distinction (Preferred Qualifications) AWS Certified Developer Associate, Solutions Architect Associate or Professional, or DevOps Engineer Professional. Experience with AWS Organizations and multi-account landing zones. Identity-aware proxies or zero-trust access (Pomerium or equivalent). Trust nothing at the door. OpenTelemetry across both Lambda and container workloads. Container supply-chain tooling: SBOM generation, image signing, Trivy, Grype, or Amazon Inspector. Migrating workloads between Lambda and containers, or dragging legacy hosts into the serverless age. Time in regulated or security-sensitive environments such as SOC 2, PCI, or gaming and casino compliance. Some fluency in the other tongues of our stack: Java/Scala, Python, or Go. The Warden's Code (Core Competencies) Ownership. Production health, cost, and security are your watch. Nobody else's. Pragmatic judgment. The simplest architecture that does the job, and you can explain why. Communication. Clear design docs, PR descriptions, and incident reports. You can explain a decision to someone who has never seen a terminal. Collaboration. You work well with product, QA, security, and every other engineering team. Mentorship. You leave the team stronger than you found it. The First Six Moons (Success Measures) Expected Outcomes 30 days: Keys to the gate in hand. First production change shipped through the full pipeline. Existing Lambda and container services reviewed and their weak points written down. 90 days: You own one or more services end to end, including on-call. At least one improvement delivered to observability, deployment safety, or cost. 6 months: You lead the design and delivery of a new service or a major refactor, and you set or raise a team standard (a Lambda project template, a base Docker image, a Terraform module). Must have 6+ years of professional software development. 4+ years building and operating production Node.js services in TypeScript. 3+ years running production workloads on AWS Lambda and ECS/Fargate. Owned at least one service from design through launch and on-call. Node.js internals: event loop, async patterns, streams, memory behavior, CommonJS and ESM. Fastify: built production APIs and migrated existing APIs to it. Vue.js: built production UIs and migrated existing UIs to it. AWS Lambda: handler lifecycle, execution environment reuse, concurrency model, event source mappings, layers, container-image functions, runtime upgrades. Production use of IAM, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Step Functions, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch, ECR, ECS/Fargate, and VPC networking.
