Title and Summary

Senior Software Engineer

Overview:
The Mastercard Developer Workbench, part of the MSBX (Mastercard Software Builder Experience) division, is evolving from a cost-allocation construct into a unified, developer-centric platform. With over 11,500 software engineers across the organization, Mastercard is investing in a dedicated product team to deliver an integrated, end-to-end developer experience.

The Developer Workbench brings together five core MSBX products — BuildersHub, DevFlow, TestFlow, DevInsights, and Cloud DevEx — alongside cross-cutting tools including GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Docker Desktop. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of how engineers at one of the world's leading technology companies build, test, and ship software.

About the Role:
- Design, build, and maintain core components of the Developer Workbench platform across the full development lifecycle.
- Contribute to the technical direction and roadmap of the Developer Workbench, helping evolve it from a chargeback mechanism into a cohesive, productized developer experience.
- Drive the integration and enablement of software engineering tools across the development lifecycle, with a focus on usability and reliability.
- Contribute to the governance of the "birthright and optional tooling" catalogue — supporting version lifecycle management, tool evaluations, and deprecation of redundant solutions.
- Collaborate with product owners, platform teams, and engineering stakeholders to deliver workbench capabilities that align with organization-wide engineering priorities.
- Build and improve developer enablement features — onboarding flows, self-service tooling, feedback integrations — to maximize the value of deployed tools across 11,500+ engineers.
- Design and implement pre-provisioned onboarding environments that enable new hires to be productive within 30 minutes of day one.
- Implement and advance AI-augmented development capabilities including agentic coding tools, code assistants, and automated quality
pipelines.
- Instrument the platform with meaningful metrics that surface developer productivity, satisfaction, and platform health.
- Engage across engineering, security, and compliance teams to ensure tooling implementations meet Mastercard's security and regulatory requirements.
- Actively participate in the Software Engineering Guild, sharing technical expertise and promoting standard engineering patterns across
the organization.

All About You:
- Strong background in software engineering, ideally including work on platform engineering, developer tooling, or developer experience (DevEx) products.
- Hands-on experience building and operating developer platforms or internal tooling at enterprise scale.
- Deep familiarity with the modern developer tooling ecosystem, including:
- AI coding assistants: GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar
- Containerization and desktop dev environments: Docker Desktop, Kubernetes, DevContainers
- CI/CD and pipeline tooling: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD, or similar
- Developer portals and inner-source platforms: Backstage, or similar
- Experience working with AI-powered developer tools in a regulated enterprise environment, including an understanding of policy compliance, access controls, and responsible AI usage.
- Strong understanding of developer experience (DevEx) principles and the ability to translate developer pain points into platform improvements.
- Experience designing and delivering pre-provisioned, standardized development environments at scale.
- Solid understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), including infrastructure automation and cloud-native development patterns.
- Ability to contribute to tool adoption through instrumentation, metrics, and feedback mechanisms.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering and cross-functional
teams.
- Familiarity with software development productivity metrics (e.g., DORA metrics, onboarding time, tool adoption rates) and using data to
inform technical decisions.
- Self-driven and comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-evolving technology environments.
- Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies and SDLC best practices from design through deployment.
