As a Senior Platform Engineering Manager, you will lead multiple teams of managers and engineers within the Platform Engineering department. You are responsible for developing talent through coaching while overseeing the delivery of internal platform capabilities that enable both human engineers and AI agents to build, deploy, and operate software safely. Your daily work involves collaborating with Product and Security teams to shape roadmaps, manage dependencies, and transform common needs into reusable, self-service tools. The role focuses on building an Internal Developer Platform centered on automation and secure-by-default workflows. You will utilize a technical stack including AWS, Kubernetes/EKS, Kong Gateway, GitOps via Akuity, Buildkite, Terraform, Helm, Ansible, Vault, Datadog, and PagerDuty. This position addresses the challenge of scaling infrastructure while improving developer experience and operational maturity through robust observability and Infrastructure as Code.

What you'll do

  • Lead, mentor, and develop Engineering Managers and Platform Engineers across multiple teams.
  • Translate platform engineering strategy into clear priorities and actionable outcomes for technical teams.
  • Collaborate with Product and Security teams to shape roadmaps and manage cross-team dependencies.
  • Drive the development of internal developer platforms featuring self-service tools, APIs, and automated workflows.
  • Enable engineers and AI agents to build and deploy software using secure-by-default platform capabilities.
  • Influence technical architecture and ensure high standards for code quality, security, and infrastructure as code.
  • Improve platform reliability and operational maturity using SLOs, observability data, and developer feedback.
  • Manage organizational growth through workforce planning, hiring, and succession planning for future leaders.

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience leading multiple engineering teams in Platform Engineering, infrastructure, SRE, or DevOps environments.
  • Experience managing and developing both Engineering Managers and individual contributors.
  • Track record of delivering scalable platform capabilities to improve developer productivity and reliability.
  • Experience building internal developer platforms using "platform-as-a-product" principles.
  • Strong technical understanding of distributed systems, infrastructure as code, and modern software delivery.
  • Proficiency with technologies including Kubernetes, AWS, GitOps, CI/CD, and observability tools.
  • Ability to translate high-level strategy into execution while managing cross-functional priorities with Product and Security teams.
  • Understanding of how AI-assisted development and agent-based workflows impact platform tooling and infrastructure.
