You think in products, not projects and You've built platforms that engineers
* choose* to use. You measure success in adoption rates and developer satisfaction — not just uptime. And you can translate complex infrastructure trade-offs into decisions that land with senior leaders.
As Platform Lead – Hosting, you'll own our internal developer platform — the cloud foundations, golden paths and self-service capabilities that hundreds of easy
Jet engineers depend on every day.
You’ll run it like a product: a clear vision, a prioritised backlog, continuous discovery with your users, and measurable outcomes. Not a ticket queue. Not a service desk. A product team.
Concretely, That Means- Owning our multi-cloud Landing Zone strategy (AWS, Azure, GCP) — account design, network patterns, identity, policy-as-code, security baselines
- Building "golden paths" that make the secure, compliant route the easiest one
Driving adoption through great experience, not mandates
- Leading a cross-functional team with real ownership and a culture of enablement
- Reporting progress, risks and value to senior leadership — clearly and confidently
- Have led a platform, SRE or internal developer platform function with measurable outcomes to show for it
- Run proper product discovery — you know what a good problem statement looks like and how to prioritise without building everything
- Are genuinely comfortable in cloud foundations:
Landing Zones, IaC, guardrails, policy-as-code - Bridge engineering, security, architecture and leadership without losing any of them
- Treat agile as a mindset, not a ceremony
- Are hands-on enough to earn engineer credibility and strategic enough to influence at director level
