Job Description

The Developer Platform is a foundational layer supporting thousands of services across a global technology organization. You will lead multi-year efforts to reimagine how engineers write, test, and deploy backend services at massive, cross-functional scale. The work requires deep technical expertise as well as leadership in environments shaped by legacy systems, evolving priorities, and cross-organizational dependencies. This role offers broad organizational influence and the opportunity to shape the everyday experience of thousands of engineers. While we're particularly interested in candidates with deep experience in JVM technologies, Python / agentic systems, or CI, we welcome strong engineers from diverse technical backgrounds who are excited to work at platform scale.

Job Responsibility

  • Define and drive the long-term architectural strategy for the backend and developer platform ecosystem, including foundational frameworks, shared services, and platform primitives
  • Lead and implement modernization initiatives across backend services to improve developer productivity, reliability, and scalability within large shared-code or monorepo environments
  • Establish technical standards, governance, and consistency by aligning platform direction horizontally across hundreds of engineering teams and multiple geographic locations
  • Balance hands-on technical execution (e.g., platform upgrades, automation, dependency management) with strategic architectural thinking, ensuring near-term stability while building toward a long-term vision
  • Serve as a technical mentor and leader, elevating engineering craft and decision-making for Staff and Senior Staff engineers within the Developer Platform organization

Requirements

  • 10+ years of progressive experience in backend, platform, or infrastructure engineering roles within high-scale technology environments
  • Demonstrated experience operating at a Senior Staff or Principal Engineer level, providing technical leadership across multiple teams or domains
  • Deep hands-on experience building and operating distributed backend systems at scale
  • If you don’t come from a Platform background and instead come from a product, experience in building large distributed systems is required

Nice to have

  • Proven track record of designing, implementing, and scaling developer-facing platforms, internal tooling, or foundational CI/CD infrastructure used by large engineering populations
  • Proven industry engagement, such as contributions to open-source tooling or frameworks, or experience collaborating with external partners on shared technical direction
  • Direct experience with large-scale build systems (e.g., Bazel or similar monorepo tooling) and dependency management at scale
  • Familiarity with data-intensive workflows and distributed systems, or experience building SDKs and internal libraries for other engineering teams
  • Demonstrated comfort leading complex, ambiguous initiatives that require balancing long-term architectural vision with urgent execution needs
