Position Details

The Dojo coach will work across people, process, and technology to guide teams along their continuous improvement journey. This coach will lead teams towards a continual growth mindset and demonstrate continual learning behaviors, supporting growth and works across disciplines to understand how work moves to engineering teams and how teams communicate progress and impediments.

This is one role with two hats. As a Dojo Engineer, you will lead immersive, in-person engagements (dojos) where engineering teams get measurably better at how they deliver. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will align to a Director's domain and stay close to those teams between dojos, reading the signals and surfacing where the next engagement will help most. Remote is for sensing; in-person is for transformation. Our purpose: we help teams deliver what matters, faster, better, and safer, by changing how they work.

You will

Have experience using delivery and technical data as a learning and feedback tool with teams and individuals

Build documentation and training opportunities for in-person and self-paced learning to support adoptions of new technology or ways of working.

Provide honest, data driven feedback to drive continual improvement both inside and outside the dojo.

Collaborate with multiple areas to curate an exceptional engineering experience

Support Communities of Practices through group facilitation, creating and presenting relevant content and creating psychological safe place to learn

Lead immersive, in-person dojos such as charter-workshops, AI Uplift, Game Days, and leadership dojos, each designed by hand around the team's real feature work and coached by doing, not by lecture.

Align to a Director's domain as its Forward Deployed Engineer: go deep, become a trusted subject matter expert, and run the sensing loop that surfaces where the next engagement will help most.

Combine delivery metrics, pipeline, and usage signals with in-person observation into an honest assessment of what a team needs (a team-wide dojo or a targeted point-fix) and recommend the right offering.

Partner with engineering managers and tech leads to set expectations up front and hand off ownership so the change sticks after the engagement ends.

Produce a report-out for every engagement covering goals, outcomes, durable value, and wins, turning real results into the stories that bring the next team in.

Use AI tools to accelerate research, gathering, and planning, while owning the assessment and the design of every engagement yourself.

There may be some travel depending on where teams are located

You have

Experience building production applications or components in 1 or more programming languages such as Java, Kotlin, Node.JS and Python.

Experience working in a public Cloud across multiple services and technologies including Kubernetes, application services, databases and networking

Experience building tests capabilities that can run during the CI process (TDD/Unit testing) and can explain the benefit

Experience working with different integration methods such API or data streams

Experience applying/coaching lean, agile and DevOps principles to improve the flow of value

An understanding of fast feedback loops using DevOps patterns and how to integrate feedback into ways of working

Experience & understanding in IT disciplines including software, quality, security, and hardware to remove friction from the delivery process

Experience mentoring engineers or coaching teams to change how they deliver, including leading groups through ambiguous, change-heavy situations.
