About the role

Original posting from Neura Robotics via Ashby

Build the Platform. Enable the Teams.

We believe real DevOps can't be outsourced to a DevOps team that runs things on behalf of others. It happens where teams take full ownership of building and running their own services – "you build it, you run it". To make that work in practice, our Development Enablement team provides the tools, Infrastructure-as-Code building blocks and CI/CD catalogs every team needs to develop and operate efficiently and securely. And it goes into the teams as consultant, sparring partner and supporter, helping them build and run their own pipelines and infrastructure – from cloud services to the software that ships on our robots. Build the platform, enable the teams: if leading that double role excites you, this is your place.

Your Mission & Challenges

As Group Lead Development Enablement, you lead an on-site team of experienced platform experts. You bring the technical depth to discuss architecture and trade-offs eye to eye with developers and stakeholders across the company. Your biggest lever: giving your team direction, clarity and backing, so its experts can focus on what they do best – building great technology.

  • Own the platform roadmap: Define where our developer platform goes. GitLab, runner fleet, CI/CD catalog, artifact management, release tooling etc. You turn it into clear engineering tracks aligned with product and department goals.
  • Connect the business units: Be the face of Development Enablement across NEURA's business units. Bring competing requests together, put priorities into context and make calls that everyone can follow and stand behind.
  • Drive the shift to ownership: Move teams from "DevOps does it for us" to "we build and run it ourselves" – with golden paths, reusable components, documentation and hands-on coaching.
  • Create focus for your team: Set a clear direction, absorb shifting demands and keep the noise away, so your experts can concentrate on technical delivery.
  • Lead and grow the team: Hire, mentor and develop your engineers, set clear expectations and help individual contributors grow into senior and lead roles.
  • Run the platform as a product: Treat engineering teams as customers. Prioritize by their needs, measure adoption and developer experience, and favor self-service over tickets.
  • Secure the supply chain: Together with our Security team, make security scanning, SBOM generation, package curation and secret-free cloud access defaults, not afterthoughts.
  • Keep it reliable and cost-efficient: Own service levels, incident handling and postmortems for the platform, and keep licenses and compute spend under control.

What We Can Look Forward To

  • Proven experience: 7+ years in DevOps, platform or infrastructure engineering, with 2+ years leading engineers formally or as a tech lead.
  • Technical credibility: Hands-on depth in GitLab CI/CD at scale, containers and Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform) and AWS. Enough to discuss solutions as a peer with experienced engineers.
  • Build and release know-how: Experience with artifact management, release processes and software supply-chain security. Exposure to C++/ROS or embedded build environments is a strong plus.
  • Cross-organizational alignment: Experience coordinating priorities across several teams, products or business units – and turning conflicting requests into a plan people commit to.
  • Product mindset: You think of internal developers as customers and measure success by how fast and safely they ship – not by how many tickets your team closes.
  • Leadership style: You give your team stability clarity and freedom, protect its focus, and enable others rather than doing the work for them.
  • Communication: You decide under uncertainty and speak fluently to engineers and managers alike. Professional English required; German a strong plus (B2 to C1)
