We are seeking a hands‑on Developer Engagement Engineer to join the Firmwide developer tools group, MSDE.
In the Technology division, we leverage innovation to build the connections and capabilities that power our Firm, enabling our clients and colleagues to redefine markets and shape the future of our communities. This is a Software Engineering position at the Vice President level, which is part of the job family responsible for developing and maintaining software solutions that support business needs.

Interested in joining a team that’s eager to create, innovate and make an impact on the world? Read on.
MSDE is responsible for shaping the SDLC within Morgan Stanley by implementing the tools, systems, and processes used by 25,000+ developers in the Firm for software development and deployment.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, developer experience, and AI coding tool adoption. You'll help ensure developers don't just get access to agentic AI capabilities — they use them well, safely, and meaningfully in real workflows.
You'll work with engineering teams, platform owners, risk partners, and senior technology leaders to scale adoption across the firm. The ideal candidate is a hands‑on developer who enjoys helping others succeed, explains technical concepts clearly, and thrives in ambiguity and fast-moving change.
What you’ll do in the role:
Engage Developers
Run demos, workshops, office hours, and enablement sessions
Help teams identify practical use cases for AI coding tools across coding, testing, refactoring, documentation, and code review
Create reusable examples, patterns, and guidance that accelerate adoption
Gather developer feedback and translate it into actionable insights for platform and product teams
Drive Practical Adoption
Develop clear guidance for responsible, productive use of AI coding tools
Help teams distinguish where agentic AI accelerates work from where human judgment remains essential
Surface and share successful usage patterns across teams and business areas
Partner with engineering leaders to identify blockers and define what good usage looks like in a regulated enterprise
Advocate for Developers
Represent the developer perspective in discussions with platform, tooling, risk, training, and leadership teams
Foster a community of AI coding tool champions and encourage cross‑team knowledge sharing
Create Enablement Content
Guides, FAQs, playbooks, demo scripts, workshop materials, and short‑form updates for engineers and senior stakeholders
Prioritize clarity and usefulness over corporate polish
Shape the Adoption Strategy
Contribute to rollout planning, usage analysis, and continuous improvement
Identify patterns, success stories, and risks to inform training, communications, and support models
What you’ll bring to the role:
Technical Experience
Software development experience with exposure to modern engineering workflows (PRs, CI/CD, developer tooling)
Practical experience with AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, Claude Code)
Ability to evaluate where AI tools add value — and where they introduce risk
Familiarity with enterprise SDLC practices or regulated technology environments is a plus
Engagement & Communication
Comfort leading demos, workshops, and enablement sessions for varied audiences
Clear, credible written and verbal communication
Ability to synthesize feedback and usage patterns into recommendations
Skill in building trust with engineers by being honest, practical, and technically grounded
Mindset
Genuine enthusiasm for AI coding tools and curiosity about how developers work
Bias toward action, experimentation, and practical outcomes
Comfort with evolving tools, policies, and best practices
Collaborative approach across teams, regions, and experience levels
