We are looking for a Director of Platform Engineering to lead the evolution of our Internal Developer Platform (IDP). The Platform functional area is what enables our applications teams to deliver product features at a higher pace, with reduced co-ordination, via self-service APIs, tools, services, knowledge and support. In this non-traditional leadership role, you will act as an architect and developer advocate, removing bureaucratic friction and aligning infrastructure, security, and observability to ensure our application teams can deliver at pace via high-trust, self-service tools.
Job Responsibility:
Co-develop Strategic Direction: Partner with Platform SMEs and internal customers to co-create a platform roadmap that accelerates time-to-market and improves developer experience
Build Scalable Architecture: Champion modular, cloud-native standards and Kubernetes to replace legacy, bespoke configurations
Develop an Ownership Culture: Shape a culture where responsibility is to one’s peers and the 'internal customer' (the developer), all while enabling application teams to fully own what they produce
Support Tech Innovation: Drive the adoption of modern tools and emerging tech, including AI and Agentic AI, within platform engineering
Remove Friction: Dismantle bureaucratic gates by automating security and policy compliance directly within the CI/CD pipeline
Manage Incident Response: Coordinate and support the cross-functional incident response team, ensuring rapid resolution and actionable post-mortems
Building the Right Thing: Propose or provide feedback on every platform roadmap item with each of our teams
Mentorship & Care: Focus on a 'span of care' rather than 'span of control,' driving impact through coaching, proficiency, and team growth
Support Autonomy: Move from top-down resource allocation to enabling teams to identify dependencies and pull resources independently
Bring Transparency: Act as a channel rather than a shield, providing teams with direct access to information and resources
Requirements:
SME Expertise: Hands-on experience building Internal Developer Platforms on Kubernetes, understanding the Cloud Native landscape, and being able to navigate the complexities of multi-cloud architectures
Multidisciplinary Depth: Hands-on proficiency across IaC, CI/CD, API design, observability, and core software development
Growth Mindset: View the workplace as a place for personal growth, finding joy in your own as well as the personal and professional evolution of your peers
Influential Leadership: Enable organizational change through empathy, logic, and expertise rather than positional authority
Complexity Thinking: Understand the organization as a complex adaptive system in which scaling occurs through emergence and decentralized interactions, not by adding more layers of oversight
Contextual Decision-Making: Share information broadly to empower decisions to happen as close to the 'customer' as possible
What we offer:
Competitive compensation package, including equity
Great work equipment, and home office allowance for those working in our fully remote locations
