We are seeking a Vice President of Platform Engineering to lead the design, evolution, and operational excellence of our cloud-native infrastructure and developer platform. This role is responsible for building and scaling the foundational systems that power our applications, data platforms, and AI-driven services. You will oversee Kubernetes architecture, infrastructure-as-code strategy, CI/CD systems, observability, reliability engineering, and cloud performance optimization across a complex AWS-based environment. Our platform stack includes Kubernetes (EKS, Vcluster), Apache Spark workloads, Snowflake analytics, Airflow orchestration, and Java-based microservices. You will lead the teams that ensure this ecosystem is scalable, secure, resilient, and engineered for long-term performance. This is a hands-on executive role for someone who understands distributed systems deeply, thinks in terms of architecture and platform leverage, and can elevate engineering standards across the organization.

Job Responsibility:

  • Define and execute the long-term platform engineering vision across cloud, data, and application infrastructure
  • Own Kubernetes (EKS) architecture, cluster strategy, multi-environment governance, and workload isolation patterns (including Vcluster strategy)
  • Lead infrastructure modernization and simplification initiatives to reduce technical debt and increase scalability

  • Improve developer experience through self-service infrastructure tooling and automation
  • Oversee containerization standards (Docker, Helm, ArgoCD) and release management best practices
  • Champion automation-first operational processes to reduce manual intervention and toil
  • Provide architectural oversight for Spark-based distributed compute workloads
  • Guide optimization of Airflow orchestration and Snowflake data platform usage
  • Ensure data-intensive workloads are engineered for performance and scale
  • Standardize patterns for resource efficiency across compute-heavy systems
  • Establish SRE best practices including SLOs, SLAs, incident management, and performance monitoring
  • Oversee implementation of observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, etc.)
  • Ensure security and compliance standards are embedded in platform design
  • Improve resilience and disaster recovery strategies
  • Build and lead a high-performing Platform Engineering organization
  • Mentor senior engineers and platform leads
  • Collaborate closely with Engineering, Data, and Security leadership
  • Create a culture of operational excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement

Requirements:

  • 12+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, or DevOps
  • 5+ years leading platform or infrastructure teams at scale
  • Deep expertise in AWS architecture and cloud-native systems
  • Strong hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes (EKS) and distributed systems
  • Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), CI/CD pipelines, and GitOps
  • Familiarity with Spark, Airflow, and large-scale data processing systems
  • Experience supporting Java-based microservices in containerized environments
  • Strong understanding of observability, performance engineering, and reliability principles
  • Proven ability to scale infrastructure while improving operational efficiency
