You will help reduce friction throughout the software development lifecycle, improve visibility and ownership of software assets, and create practical standards and capabilities that enable engineering teams to move faster and with greater confidence.\nHelp Write Our Next Chapter\nAs a technical leader within our DevOps & Operational Excellence team, you will:\nLead the implementation, configuration and continued development of Pandora’s Developer Portal, built on Port.io.\nOwn the architecture of our software catalogue, including metadata, service ownership and portal governance.\nDesign engineering scorecards covering operational readiness, security, reliability, documentation and architecture standards.\nEstablish and maintain Golden Paths that simplify and standardise software delivery.\nDrive adoption of self-service capabilities across development, deployment, observability and operational excellence.\nIntegrate Port.io with platforms including GitHub, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, Datadog, Splunk, Azure and Kubernetes.\nBuild greater visibility into engineering health, service quality and operational readiness.\nUse DORA metrics, flow metrics and Developer Experience frameworks to support measurable improvements.\nIdentify friction across the software development lifecycle and turn this into focused improvement initiatives.\nInfluence engineering leaders and teams to adopt shared platform standards and self-service ways of working.\nFacilitate communities of practice and knowledge sharing across engineering teams.\nEvaluate emerging developments across Developer Experience, Internal Developer Platforms and Platform Engineering.\nWhat Makes You Shine:\nYou are passionate about improving the day-to-day experience of engineers and understand that great Developer Experience is about more than tooling. It brings together thoughtful platform design, automation, clear ownership, effective governance and a deep understanding of how developers work.\nWe would love to hear from you if you bring:\n8+ years of relevant experience across Developer Experience, Platform Engineering, Internal Developer Platforms or a closely related engineering discipline. An equivalent combination of relevant education and professional experience will also be considered.\nExperience implementing or evolving a developer portal, software catalogue or comparable self-service engineering platform.\nKnowledge of software catalogue architecture, service ownership and engineering governance.\nExperience designing Golden Paths, engineering scorecards or reusable self-service capabilities.\nA strong understanding of CI/CD, cloud platforms, Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code.\nExperience integrating engineering tools and platforms such as GitHub, Azure DevOps, Azure, ServiceNow or observability solutions.\nFamiliarity with DORA metrics, flow metrics or other approaches to measuring engineering effectiveness.\nProfessional fluency in English.\nExperience with Port.io would be particularly valuable. However, we are also interested in people who have built relevant experience through comparable developer portals, Internal Developer Platforms or service catalogue technologies.\nWe know that great talent comes from different backgrounds and experiences. If this opportunity excites you and you can see yourself bringing many of these skills to the team, we would love to hear your story.\nCrafting What’s Next, Together\nYou will join Pandora’s DevOps & Operational Excellence team within Digital & Technology and report to the Director of DevOps & Operational Excellence.\nYour work will connect you with colleagues across Platform Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Product Engineering, Service Management and Cloud Platforms. You will have the opportunity to shape solutions across organisational boundaries and help create a more consistent, productive and developer-centred engineering environment.\nThis role is a Lead Engineer, individual contributor role.\nThe Impact You Will Make\nYour impact will be visible through the adoption of the Developer Portal and Golden Paths, increased use of self-service platform capabilities, broader coverage of the software catalogue and clearer service ownership.\nThe role will also contribute to reducing developer onboarding time, strengthening engineering standards, improving developer satisfaction and reducing manual governance activities.\nThe Additional Sparkle\nYou’ll be based at our Digital & Technology building at Havneholmen in Copenhagen, working alongside talented colleagues in an international and collaborative environment.\nOur LEED Gold-certified building is designed to bring people together and provides a modern workplace where you can connect, collaborate and share ideas. It’s a great base from which to help shape Pandora’s Developer Experience and influence how our engineering teams work globally.\nReady to Craft Your Next Career Chapter?\nIf you can see yourself improving how engineers build, deliver and operate technology, while helping Pandora advance its Platform Engineering and Operational Excellence journey, we would love to hear from you.\nPlease submit your application in English.
