Developer Productivity Analyst, DX

About DX DX is one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in the country, helping engineering leaders build high-performing, productive teams. Our platform delivers actionable insights into developer experience and productivity - empowering companies like Netflix, Uber, Dell, Pfizer, and Vanguard to operate at their best. DX has grown from a bootstrapped startup into a category-defining company with a customer base that spans some of the most sophisticated engineering organizations in the world. We recently closed on our acquisition by Atlassian , which means more resources behind our mission, faster product innovation, and an even bigger impact for the teams who rely on us. How we work at DX: Companies have all kinds of culture slides. At DX, we want to be very clear about what we care about and how we judge performance. For us, it all boils down to individual mastery, becoming the best at your craft. Those who exhibit this quality will thrive here and be unduly rewarded. We can’t control outcomes due to competitors, the economy, decision-makers, etc., but what we can control is doing our jobs at the highest level possible. About the role We’re looking for a Developer Productivity Analyst (remote – US) to help senior engineering leaders make better decisions about developer productivity, developer experience, and the impact of AI on their organizations. This role is part of the DX Research Team, whose mission is to advance how the world understands and improves developer productivity. This team turns data, research, and real-world stories into actionable insights that help engineering leaders make better decisions — and in doing so, reinforces DX as the trusted source of truth in developer productivity. In this role, you will: Spend time talking with customers and prospects – understanding their org structures, processes, metrics, and constraints – and advising CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and platform leaders on how to design and run effective developer productivity and DevEx programs. Turn what you’re seeing and hearing across customers into high-signal written content: frameworks, playbooks, and narratives that other leaders can learn from. Partner closely with DX’s research, product, marketing, and sales teams to ensure what we publish reflects both customer reality and DX’s point of view. Responsibilities What you’ll ship You’ll be expected to produce: 1. Two “small ships” per month – quick, high-signal pieces that capture one strong insight or idea emerging from advisory work. For example: A pattern you’re seeing across several customers (e.g., “how top-performing teams are actually using AI in code review”). A short, practical brief synthesizing learnings from a set of leadership conversations on a topic (e.g., “how VPs of Eng are reshaping their metrics stack in 2025”). A concise framework or decision guide (e.g., “when to centralize vs. decentralize platform engineering”). 2. One “big ship” per quarter – a flagship piece that composes multiple customer stories, themes, and data points into something that reframes how leaders think about a problem. That might include: A DX Leadership Playbook for running a DevEx program. A state-of-the-practice report on how engineering orgs are using AI. A deep-dive framework that becomes the default way leaders talk about a complex topic (e.g., “the maturity model for developer productivity programs”). A cohesive guide that pulls together several “small ships” into a single, end-to-end resource. What you’ll need to be comfortable with Customer conversations and advisory Leading 1:1 and small-group conversations with CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of Platform/DevEx, and Staff+ ICs. Asking sharp questions, quickly understanding an organization’s context, and diagnosing where productivity and DevEx issues actually sit (process, platform, culture, org design, etc.).
