How much do developer experience jobs pay per hour?
What is a Developer Experience job?
A Developer Experience (DX) job focuses on improving the workflow, tools, and overall satisfaction of developers using a product, platform, or internal systems. DX professionals work on documentation, APIs, SDKs, tooling, and feedback loops to enhance efficiency and reduce friction. They collaborate with engineering, product, and developer relations teams to create a seamless and enjoyable development experience. The goal is to help developers be more productive and effective by providing intuitive resources and support.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Developer Experience position, and why are they important?
To thrive as a Developer Experience professional, you need a strong background in software engineering, developer tooling, and user experience design, often supported by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with code editors, SDKs, APIs, documentation tools, and CI/CD systems is highly valuable. Excellent communication, empathy for developer needs, and problem-solving abilities help someone excel in this role. These skills are critical for creating seamless, efficient, and enjoyable development environments that boost productivity for engineering teams.
What does a typical workday look like for someone in a Developer Experience role?
A typical day for a Developer Experience professional can involve collaborating with software engineers to understand pain points, creating and refining developer tools or documentation, and responding to feedback from the developer community. You might participate in cross-functional meetings with product managers, UX designers, and QA teams to improve product usability and streamline workflows. Regularly, you'll also analyze platform usage data to identify trends and advocate for improvements. This diversity of tasks ensures that you have a meaningful impact on improving how developers interact with products and tools.

Job description
Remote or Hybrid: This role can be remote US or hybrid in our Warren MI or Austin TX office.
The Role:
This Principal Software Engineer - Developer Experience role sits within the Developer Experience (DevEx) team at the intersection of DevEx, data, and business strategy. The team provides tools, platforms, metrics, and enablement programs that reduce friction for engineers, streamline software delivery workflows, and improve developer satisfaction and productivity across General Motors.
In this role, you will focus on Developer Productivity & Insights-defining how we measure and understand engineering effectiveness, partnering with platform and product teams to synthesize signals across SDLC systems, and translating those insights into clear narratives and recommendations for senior engineering leadership up to the CISO office. Rather than owning a single platform, you will drive change through influence and strategy: shaping our metrics strategy, defining and evolving golden paths, evaluating how AI is transforming developer workflows, and turning data into better tools, workflows, and outcomes for engineers.
The DevEx team exists to make life dramatically better for software engineers at GM. As a Principal Software Engineer, you'll help lead the shift from a traditional IT model to an AI-native engineering organization-setting direction and designing and building automation, golden paths, and AI-driven solutions that remove friction from developer workflows while mentoring and upskilling engineers across IT.
What you'll do
- Set and lead technical strategy and delivery for platforms, tools, and workflows that improve developer productivity, quality, and satisfaction across GM.
- Define and drive adoption of golden paths (opinionated, paved-road workflows) for shipping software-covering repo structure, CI/CD, testing, security, observability, and deployment.
- Build automation and self-service capabilities that reduce manual toil (e.g., environment provisioning, pipeline setup, guardrail enforcement, standards checks).
- Lead the strategy for embedding AI into engineering workflows, including agents and copilots that assist with planning, coding, testing, documentation, and operations.
- Partner with and influence product, security, infra, and application leaders to understand pain points and translate them into concrete platform and tooling improvements.
- Act as an org-wide multiplier and mentor, coaching engineers and providing guidance on software engineering, AI-assisted development, and recommended practices.
- Define, socialize, and own the strategy for outcome-focused metrics (e.g., lead time for changes, PR cycle time, change failure rate, developer satisfaction) and use data to guide investments.
- Shape and govern engineering standards, patterns, and reference architectures used across Core IT and beyond.
What you bring
- Proven experience as a Principal Engineer or senior technical leader driving technical strategy and execution across multiple teams or organizations.
- Strong systems thinking and product mindset-you treat developers as customers and design solutions that are intuitive, resilient, and maintainable.
- AI-native mindset: experience using and integrating AI/ML into engineering workflows (e.g., AI coding assistants, agentic workflows, intelligent automation), or strong evidence you can ramp quickly.
- Track record of technical leadership without formal authority: mentoring others, leading design reviews, influencing roadmaps, and driving cross-team alignment.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical tradeoffs and build trust with engineers, managers, and partners.
Minimum Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in software development, including significant time in senior/staff/principal-level roles.
- Strong proficiency in at least one modern language (e.g., Java, Go, C#, Python, TypeScript) and in designing, building, and operating distributed systems in production.
- Deep experience designing and operating modern CI/CD pipelines and release processes, including build, test, deploy, release strategies, rollback, and environment promotion.
- Hands-on experience with developer platforms and SDLC tooling (e.g., GitHub/GitLab, CI/CD systems, Jira/ADO, artifact repositories, secrets management, feature flags).
What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
- Experience in platform engineering, SRE, or internal developer platforms.
- Background in large, regulated, or safety-critical environments where security, compliance, and reliability are first-class concerns.
- Prior work in Developer Experience / Developer Productivity / DevTools organizations.
