About the role
Who you are
- 15+ years of experience in software or infrastructure engineering, with at least 5 years focused on platform engineering or cloud infrastructure at scale
- Proven success designing and operating internal developer platforms in AWS and/or Azure environments
- Expert-level experience with Kubernetes, including provisioning, cluster lifecycle management, workload orchestration, and multi-tenant design
- Strong expertise in Terraform, GitOps tools (e.g., ArgoCD), and CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, Spinnaker)
- Deep understanding of cloud networking, IAM, service meshes, and container orchestration at scale
- Familiar with the CNCF landscape and how to leverage open-source tools to solve platform problems
- Passion for developer experience. You think about tooling, abstraction, reliability, and feedback loops as core parts of platform success
- Track record of technical leadership, mentoring, and influencing engineering culture at a large scale
- Bachelor's or Master’s in Computer Science or related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
- Experience designing and operating Developer Platforms or building platform-as-a-service abstractions

- You have deep experience with public clouds (AWS and/or Azure), are an expert in Kubernetes, and have a strong understanding of how to build self-service infrastructure that balances speed with safety
- Design and build scalable platform capabilities that empower engineering teams to ship features reliably, securely, and quickly
- Create and maintain developer-facing tools and paved paths (e.g. , CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes platforms, observability stacks, secrets management)
- Implement Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps patterns to promote consistency, automation, and compliance across environments
- Collaborate with product, security, and compliance stakeholders to build platform services that meet SLAs and governance standards
- Drive efforts to standardize and simplify infrastructure across cloud environments (AWS, Azure), enabling secure multi-cloud operation
- Lead incident response, reliability engineering, and observability improvements that ensure platform uptime and performance
- Act as a technical mentor and thought leader, guiding teams on infrastructure architecture, platform adoption, and best practices
- Define and execute on a strategic roadmap to evolve the internal platform in line with company growth and technology direction
