  • Promote operational excellence, including monitoring, observability, and resilience as platform usage scales

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience managing, leading, and mentoring software engineering teams
  • Experience building and operating API platforms, backend systems, or shared infrastructure
  • Strong understanding of API design, platform engineering, and developer-facing systems
  • Familiarity with authentication, authorization, and identity concepts (OAuth, IAM, scoped access, policy enforcement)
  • Proven ability to deliver complex technical initiatives through others, especially in ambiguous or evolving problem spaces
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders
