Description
You will build and operate tooling and automation that give engineers a fast, secure and consistent software delivery experience across S&P Global.
The Enterprise Developer Platform & Toolchain team owns the developer platforms, tools and capabilities that support software engineers across S&P Global.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling across GitHub Enterprise Cloud, Azure DevOps (ADO), and GitHub Actions hosted runners to ensure reliable, fast, and secure software delivery.
- Administer and evolve the source control platform (GitHub Enterprise Cloud), including repository governance, branch policies, access controls, and enterprise-level configurations.
- Manage the repository lifecycle (creation, ownership, archival) and enforce version control best practices (Conventional Commits, semantic versioning, branching, PR standards).
- Design and support internal developer portal capabilities such as service catalogues, templates, and self-service workflows.
- Build and operate cloud-based services and infrastructure that support the developer platform.
- Integrate security, quality, and artefact management tools into developer workflows with minimal friction.
- Automate identity, access, and onboarding processes in partnership with security and IT teams.
- Own and operate AI-assisted development tooling including GitHub Copilot, Cursor IDE, developer agents, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations , driving adoption, measuring productivity impact, and scaling usage across engineering teams.
- Provision, secure, and optimise AWS services (EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, IAM, CloudFormation/CDK) that underpin the developer platform infrastructure.
- Build automation frameworks and developer agents that eliminate toil , automating onboarding, environment setup, compliance checks, and repetitive platform operations.
- Collaborate with engineering, security, and architecture teams to define platform standards, enforce guardrails, and drive continuous improvement across the developer experience.
- Produce clear documentation, runbooks, and enablement material to drive self-service adoption and reduce support burden.

- Familiarity with ServiceNow (workflow/catalogue configuration) and data platforms (Databricks or equivalent).
- Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, TypeScript/Node.js).
- Excellent understanding of Git workflows, branching strategies and developer collaboration practices.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to influence adoption across engineering teams.
Nice to Have
- Experience with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor IDE) and developer agents/MCP integrations.
- Hands-on experience building developer productivity metrics and dashboards (DORA, SPACE frameworks).
- Contributions to open-source Backstage plugins or IDP ecosystems.
- Experience with FinOps practices and cloud cost optimisation for platform infrastructure.
- Familiarity with compliance-as-code and policy engines (OPA, Sentinel).
- Certifications in AWS (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer) or Kubernetes (CKA/CKAD).
