Requirements

  • At least 5 years as a senior engineer building developer productivity tools and/or highly available platform services (e.g., storage, pub-sub, search, caching, observability) and/or deep experience with infrastructure/cloud technologies (e.g., Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker)
  • 3+ years of experience directly managing software engineers and/or technical leads, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and growing a high-performing team
  • 2+ years of experience building and leading developer experience or platform teams/programs that deliver internal platforms and tooling with measurable productivity outcomes (e.g., faster builds/tests, improved CI/CD lead times, higher deployment frequency)
  • Experience managing scalable database infrastructure (e.g., Postgres, MySQL or equivalent)
  • Can communicate at the right altitude with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and you’ve led cross-functional roadmaps with Engineering Operations, Security Engineering, DevOps, Product, and Design

Nice to have
