TL;DR · Platform Engineering Lead

The Platform Engineering Lead joins the newly developed platform services organization to lead the end-to-end delivery of a high-impact MarTech or AdTech platform, such as the Consumer Data Platform or Global Access Management solution. This hands-on engineering leader manages a team of six to ten engineers, writing critical code in core services, frameworks, and complex integrations during high-visibility moments. Key responsibilities include translating architecture into executable plans, establishing AI repository guardrails, and driving production excellence through SRE practices. The role requires expert-level JavaScript, TypeScript, and Rust, alongside proficiency in SQL, NoSQL, Terraform, and CDK. The position focuses on solving technical challenges related to event-driven architectures, distributed-systems reliability, and implementing AI-native practices like vector search and retrieval-augmented generation for personalization and search.

What you'll do

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of high-impact MarTech or AdTech platforms and components.
  • Write critical code for core services, frameworks, and complex integrations during high-risk delivery moments.
  • Manage and coach a team of 6 to 10 engineers across in-house and vendor talent.
  • Translate architecture and product strategy into executable engineering plans with defined milestones and dependencies.
  • Establish and enforce engineering standards and AI repository guardrails for secure, maintainable code.
  • Drive developer velocity through agentic and AI-assisted development, automation, and paved-road tooling.
  • Improve production excellence by enhancing observability, incident-response readiness, and SRE/SLO practices.
  • Apply modern data and AI patterns, including vector search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field is required.
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience is required.
  • 2+ years of experience leading or managing engineers is required.
  • Expert-level JavaScript/TypeScript and strong production experience with systems-level languages like Rust (strongly preferred) are required.
  • Deep architecture expertise in event-driven architectures, API-first patterns, distributed-systems reliability, and modern data platforms is required.
  • Mastery of DevOps and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CDK), including CI/CD and release engineering, is required.
  • Demonstrated ability to scale productivity through AI-assisted workflows and RAG/vector-search patterns (preferred).
  • Authorized to work.
