You will solve complex problems regarding platform reliability, developer experience, and integrating AI-driven workflows into the software development lifecycle.

  • Manage workforce planning, hiring, and succession planning to build organizational capability.

What we're looking for

  • Experience managing and developing Engineering Managers and engineers through coaching and career development.
  • Track record of delivering scalable internal developer platforms and self-service capabilities using platform-as-a-product principles.
  • Experience translating high-level strategy into execution while aligning multiple teams around clear priorities.
  • Strong technical understanding of distributed systems, platform architecture, and modern software delivery.
  • Proficiency with technologies including Kubernetes, AWS, GitOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and observability tools.
  • Ability to use platform metrics and developer feedback to inform roadmap investments and improve developer experience.
  • Understanding of how AI-assisted development and agent-based workflows impact engineering platforms and infrastructure.
