Lead Engineer, Engineering Productivity

As a Lead Engineer for Productivity Engineering, your customers are our 60+ Software and Machine Learning engineers. You will focus on the speed, effectiveness and reliability of our development loops to unlock engineering velocity and satisfaction.

As Neara scales, you will collaborate on the evolution from manual systems to a resilient, scalable platform. You will design and deliver modern CI/CD, improve developer experience, reduce feedback cycles, and embed security and reliability into the development lifecycle. Success means happy engineers, faster iteration, safer releases, and an engineering organization that can scale without friction.

You will educate and enable our engineering organisation with new tools and best practices, unlocking the ability for other engineers to build upon and scale your work further. You will also provide mentorship to other engineers, fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment that encourages continuous learning and growth.

At Neara, you will be part of a team that values your ideas, supports your development, and celebrates your successes. If you are motivated and results-driven, we’d like to meet you.

What You Will Do;

• Lead the architecture and evolution of our inner and outer developer loop—covering build orchestration, dependency management, and large monorepo workflows—to support rapid iteration at scale and the improvement of developer productivity.
• Create a measurement-driven culture to diagnose and resolve complex and ambiguous challenges across core infrastructure and developer tooling, using deep systems expertise and low-level profiling, tracing, and debugging techniques.
• Lead cross-team, cross-organization initiatives to reduce friction in the development lifecycle and address systemic risks, and enable teams to scale safely and efficiently.
• Partner closely with product management, engineering leadership, and senior stakeholders to define long-term technical strategy for engineering productivity.
• Lead and mentor engineers to grow domain expertise, empowering the broader engineering organization to collaborate effectively and deliver on these initiatives.
