TL;DR · Software Development Manager, Platform Engineering

Software Development Manager, Platform Engineering leads a team of Platform and DevOps engineers within the Cloud Infrastructure Engineering organization. This role balances delivery ownership for business applications with the evolution of internal CI/CD platforms, observability, and paved-road developer experiences. The manager will mentor engineers, manage roadmap execution, and improve reliability through SLIs, SLOs, and incident response processes. Key responsibilities include operating Kubernetes and EKS environments across multi-region architectures while building infrastructure as code using Terraform and AWS CDK. The role requires expertise in GitOps tools like Argo CD, Flux, and GitHub Actions, alongside experience with AWS services such as Lambda, S3, and CloudWatch. Candidates must possess skills in Python, Java, TypeScript, or Node.js to support automated workflows, while addressing technical challenges related to cloud cost efficiency, scalability, and secure-by-default infrastructure practices.

What you'll do

  • Lead, mentor, and support the growth of a high-performing Platform and DevOps engineering team.
  • Own delivery for business applications including roadmap execution, release planning, and risk management.
  • Establish and improve SLOs, SLIs, on-call practices, and incident response processes.
  • Operate and evolve Kubernetes/EKS environments across multi-AZ and multi-region architectures.
  • Drive GitOps and CI/CD best practices using tools like Argo CD, Flux, and GitHub Actions.
  • Build paved roads and reusable developer workflows to improve engineering productivity.
  • Manage infrastructure automation and infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and AWS CDK.
  • Improve observability across logs, metrics, tracing, and synthetic monitoring for cloud systems.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of people leadership experience managing and developing engineers.
  • 7+ years of engineering experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering.
  • Experience delivering and operating business-critical applications in AWS environments.
  • Strong experience with AWS services including EKS, EC2, VPC networking, S3, RDS/DynamoDB, Lambda, API Gateway, and CloudWatch.
  • Experience with Kubernetes operations, Helm, autoscaling, and infrastructure security practices.
  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or AWS CDK.
  • Programming experience in Python, Java, TypeScript, or Node.js.
  • Familiarity with SRE practices, including incident management, SLIs/SLOs, and operational excellence.
  • Experience building internal developer platforms and self-service engineering workflows (preferred).
  • Familiarity with service meshes, policy engines, secrets management, and platform governance (preferred).
  • Knowledge of observability platforms, distributed tracing, and synthetic monitoring strategies (preferred).
