Head of Developer Experience at Code Metal · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Code Metal's forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) solve hard problems inside secure customer programs every day. Along the way, they invent tools, pipelines, and patterns that make our platform faster and more reliable. That field innovation is one of our richest sources of product value.
We're hiring a leader to capture that innovation and turn it into products that customer engineers can use on their own to automate software engineering with trust.
You'll own the developer experience, where engineers build, translate, verify, and review agent work, with FDEs as customer zero. You'll standardize what works, decide what becomes commercial product, prove it with design partners, and bring it to market.
The goal is to clear away the noise and bespoke work so FDEs and customer engineers can focus on the problems only they can solve. You'll report to the SVP, Head of Product. It's a builder's role: you'll set the strategy, build the team, and ship the first version alongside them.
Location: Remote (U.S.), with 25% travel.
Field-to-product engine: Treat FDEs as customer zero. Consolidate and standardize their tools and pipelines, capture repeatable patterns, and decide what becomes commercial product and what stays custom.
Feedback from secure environments: Build a reliable way to bring product improvements back from air-gapped and secure deployments.
Developer experience: Own strategy and roadmap for the interfaces where engineers build, translate, verify, and review agent work, and iterate on them directly.
Repeatable results: Turn proven FDE workflows into interfaces, templates, skills, and guided flows, so the same inputs produce the same results whoever runs them.
Trust and compliance: Surface lifecycle artifacts and auditable proof in the review workflow, and let customers encode their own standards, so engineers can trust the output and defend it.
Design partners and value: Validate with 3–5 commercial engineering teams before broad launch, and instrument the adoption and ROI metrics leaders use to justify and expand their investment.
Product storytelling: Create demos, videos, and presentations, and partner with Sales and Growth on packaging, positioning, and launches.
