About the role:

In this role, you'll build and maintain the self-service developer portal and developer-facing tooling that make our client’s platform golden paths easy to find and use. Embedded within the Developer Experience team, you'll work in direct proximity to the team's UX researcher and content specialist, translating research-backed interaction patterns and onboarding flows into working, instrumented software within the same sprint cadence as the research that defines what developers need.

This role offers you a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a mission-critical federal platform that aligns with Bixal's mission of delivering innovative, human-centered solutions. At Bixal, we support your professional journey, ensuring your experience reflects our purpose-driven culture and prepares you for future success.

This is a fully remote position that can be worked anywhere in the U.S. While most of the work is expected to be conducted virtually, there is potential for occasional travel for on-site meetings and working sessions (Washington, D.C.) at the discretion of the client. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the US. Bixal does not provide visa sponsorship. U.S. citizenship is required for this position due to contractual requirement.

The salary range for this role is $135,000 – $138,000. In the spirit of transparency, most offers tend to land near the midpoint of the range. We make compensation decisions thoughtfully, considering your experience, the skills you bring, and our commitment to internal equity. Fairness and transparency are core to how we operate.

• Integrate identity, access management, provisioning, and compliance controls across SaaS platforms to enable secure self-service.

• Monitor and maintain workflow reliability, including failure detection, retry strategies, and audit logging.

• Experience integrating identity, access management, provisioning, and compliance controls across SaaS platforms for secure self-service.

• Strong capability in monitoring and maintaining workflow reliability, including failure detection, retry strategies, and audit logging.

• Able to independently deliver platform improvements that measurably improve developer experience while preventing tool sprawl and fragmentation.

Nice to Have Skills and Experience:

• Familiarity with GitLab, Jira, Confluence, Datadog, and Figma-integrated toolchains.
