Platform Engineering Manager

Platform Engineering Manager, Private Hosting Services at Capital Group

You are more than a job title. We want you to feel comfortable doing great work and bringing your best, authentic self to everything you do. We value your talents, traditions, and uniqueness—and we're committed to fostering a strong sense of belonging in a respectful workplace.

We intentionally seek diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds, investing in a culture designed to celebrate differences. We believe that belonging leads to better outcomes and a stronger community of associates united by our mission. At Capital, we live our core values every day:
Integrity, Client Focus, Diverse Perspectives, Long-Term Thinking, and Community.

As a Platform Engineering Manager, you will lead and evolve Capital Group's Private Hosting Services platform as a first-class product, delivering secure, scalable, and resilient infrastructure capabilities across compute, storage, backup and recovery, virtualization, and operating systems. In close partnership with Product Management and senior technology leaders, you will define the strategy, roadmap, and adoption of a centralized hosting platform that enables self-service provisioning, standardized configurations, and engineered "golden paths" for common workload patterns.

Acting as a key connector across platform engineering, infrastructure operations, architecture, security, and application teams, you will ensure hosting services are intuitive, scalable, and aligned with enterprise standards. You will also lead the transformation of traditional infrastructure into a fully automated, API-driven, Infrastructure-as-Code-based service that reduces friction and eliminates manual processes. In parallel, you will build and grow a high-performing engineering team, fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, automation-first thinking, and continuous improvement—while balancing strategic direction with hands-on engagement to meet both current and future business needs.

You have a bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience)

You bring experience leading enterprise infrastructure and platform engineering teams, with a strong background in delivering private cloud and hosting platforms that support mission-critical workloads.

You have successfully led teams responsible for compute, virtualization, storage, and data protection services, and I understand how to unify these capabilities into a cohesive, self-service platform that simplifies consumption and improves reliability.

You have driven the adoption of AI-enabled and automation-first capabilities to reduce operating costs, decrease reliance on third-party providers, and simplify and scale repeatable operational processes.

You excel at defining and implementing golden paths, service catalogs, and standardized patterns that reduce cognitive load for engineering teams while maintaining flexibility for innovation. I am comfortable operating in on-prem and cloud-adjacent environments and driving the adoption of modern engineering practices across legacy infrastructure.

You're a strong collaborator who can build alignment across Security, Architecture, SRE, Infrastructure Operations, and Application Engineering, ensuring that platform capabilities meet both technical and regulatory requirements. I understand how to embed security, compliance, and governance controls directly into platform design without slowing delivery.

You're a leader who can engage at both strategic and technical levels—guiding architecture decisions, coaching senior engineers, and driving execution. I am experienced in managing distributed teams, developing talent, and creating an environment where engineers can do their best work.

You're outcome-driven and use metrics and data to continuously improve platform performance, focusing on availability, reliability, efficiency, and developer experience. I bring a mindset of simplification, automation, and modernization, with a passion for transforming infrastructure into scalable, product-oriented platforms.
