Developer Experience & Workflow Engineer (Remote) 

We’re looking to add a Developer Experience & Workflow Engineer to improve how we build and deliver hands-on training. This role focuses on improving the developer experience for creating hands-on lessons and building workflows that make our content operations faster, more reliable, and easier to scale. 

This is primarily a developer experience and workflow engineering role (~80–90%), with optional content contributions (~10–20%) to stay close to the product and the developer experience.  You’ll improve how we create hands-on lessons—making the process faster, more reliable, and easier—while also building systems and workflows that scale our content operations. You’ll take ownership of improving the systems and workflows that power lesson creation end-to-end. 

What You’ll Do 

Improve Developer Experience for Lesson Creation 

  • Identify friction in our lesson development process and remove it 

  • Improve local development environments (including Kubernetes-based setups on macOS) 

  • Help standardize and modularize lesson infrastructure (templates, reusable components, tooling) 

  • Provide guidance and tooling to help content developers move faster and more confidently 

Build and Improve Content Workflows 

  • Design and implement workflows that reduce manual effort and increase quality 

  • Automate repetitive or error-prone processes across content operations 

  • Introduce and experiment with AI/LLM-based workflows (e.g., drafting lesson updates, analyzing feedback, QA support) 

  • Use frameworks like LangChain or LangGraph when appropriate—or simpler approaches when they’re a better fit. You’ll have autonomy over tool choice. 

  • Identify gaps in current processes and build solutions to address them 

  • Improve the video lesson creation pipeline by streamlining editing and production workflows—focusing on tooling, handoffs, and repeatable processes to reduce turnaround time. 

  • Design workflows (including AI-assisted and agentic approaches) for generating and maintaining video-related assets such as transcripts, translations, summaries, and supporting materials 

Contribute to Content (10–20%) 

You don’t need to be a professional educator—we’ll support you. This work helps you stay close to the developer experience. 

  • Create, review or improve hands-on lessons on our training platform 

  • Apply best practices in lesson design and secure coding education 

  • Use your experience to inform improvements in the overall system 

In Your First 90 Days, You Will: 

  • Reduce the round-trip test cycle for lesson development, making it faster to build, run, and validate hands-on content locally 

  • Streamline the creation of lesson artifacts (summaries, transcripts, outlines) by improving tooling and introducing automation where it adds value 

  • Accelerate lesson creation by defining reusable components and patterns for common lesson artifacts and workflows 

What We’re Looking For 

Technical Background 

Experience with: 

  • Kubernetes 

  • Docker / containers 

  • Python 

  • Go (Golang) 

  • Bash / shell scripting 

Experience working with: 

  • LLM APIs 

  • AI-assisted or agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, or similar) 

  • Streamlining local development environments 

You should be comfortable diving into existing systems (some with limited documentation) and helping improve their structure, clarity, and usability 

DevEx & Systems Thinking 

  • Ability to identify friction and inefficiencies in developer workflows 

  • Experience building tools, templates, or systems that accelerate development 

  • Strong intuition for balancing flexibility vs. standardization 

Workflow & Automation Mindset 

  • Experience improving operational workflows or internal tooling 

  • Interest or experience in applying AI/LLMs to real-world workflows 

  • Familiarity with agentic frameworks or willingness to learn quickly 

Working Style 

  • Comfortable working independently with loosely defined problems 

  • Strong communication skills (written and verbal) 

  • Collaborative mindset: able to work across engineering and content teams 

  • Pragmatic: focuses on solutions that improve outcomes, not just elegance 

Nice to Have 

  • Experience improving and streamlining local development environments 

  • Familiarity with educational content, training platforms, or labs 

  • Experience with AppSec, DevSecOps, or secure coding practices

  • Familiarity with the flim Moneyball. The hiring manager considers it essential to good DevEx.
  • Prior work with AI-assisted development workflows 

Team Structure 

You’ll be part of an eight-person content team, working closely with content developers to build secure coding training, and collaborating across product, engineering, marketing, and support to improve how that content is created and delivered. 

Why This Role Matters 

Today, creating a high-quality hands-on lesson can take days of manual setup and coordination. Your work will cut that time dramatically, unlocking faster iteration, better training, and ultimately better-secured software.

About Security Journey
Security Journey helps organizations build secure software through practical, developer-focused application security training.  Our platform includes foundational through advanced secure coding content across 11 languages and 7+ technology areas, with hands-on exercises, videos, and interactive sandbox environments that help teams build lasting security habits.
