  • Establish engineering standards and reference implementations for teams building or consuming internal pipelines.
  • Drive measurable improvements in deployment reliability, provisioning speed, and operational stability through automation.
  • Manage and develop a high-performing team of software, automation, and infrastructure engineers.
  • Collaborate with security, risk, and architecture teams to ensure all automated solutions are compliant and resilient.
  • Communicate with executive leadership and vendors to align on technology direction and tooling strategy.

What we're looking for

  • A bachelor's degree is required, though a combination of education, certifications, and experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
  • Candidates should have at least 8 years of industry-relevant experience.
  • At least 5 years of prior management experience is typically required.
  • Proven leadership over large-scale, cross-enterprise initiatives is required.
  • Experience in software engineering, architecture, and infrastructure automation is preferred.
