The Department

Developer Engineering is a function of the CTO organization. Our mission is to make it easy and enjoyable for software engineering teams to go from a business idea to delivering an innovative product solution. The main goals are to improve and upgrade our tools, streamline our processes, automate, and strengthen our controls, and help development teams adopt modern working methods.

The Team

Within the Developer Engineering department, the Developer Services group is a dedicated expert team focused on driving the everything-as-code agenda and delivering tangible reductions in process friction, errors, and manual effort to comply with and administer our policies, standards and the controls that derive from them. The group has the mandate and a unique opportunity as part of a greenfield program to impact critical

technical consensus across the company and change how the organization is applying controls and writing policies globally. The Developer Services is a cross-functional team of engineers, data scientists, business analysts, and product managers that will directly engineer new codified controls and the underlying capabilities required to support them and drive other groups to provide the automated controls.
