Software Engineer - Cloud Platform Products; Agentic s); Remote

• 40% Delivery Leadership & Force Multiplication Owns technical delivery of cloud platform products supporting agentic workloads, from design through release and ongoing operation, in partnership with the Software Engineer Manager Breaks ambiguous initiatives into well-scoped, sequenced work that engineers can execute on independently, and keeps delivery predictable, incremental, and low-risk Identifies and removes technical blockers, dependencies, and bottlenecks across the team and partner teams before they affect delivery
  
  Raises team throughput by building reusable services, libraries, templates, paved paths, and automation that cut repeated effort and toil
  
  Sets up and continuously improves the team's delivery practices, including CI/CD, progressive delivery, IaC/Git Ops (Terraform, Helm, Argo CD), testing strategy, and release standards
  
  Champions and models AI-assisted development and agentic workflows to measurably speed up how the team designs, builds, tests, and ships
  
  Contributes hands-on code on the most complex, highest-risk, or most critical-path work, and pairs with engineers to unblock and level them up Tracks delivery health (lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, recovery time) and drives improvements
  
  Drives adoption through clear documentation, reference architectures, self-service workflows, and developer experience improvements for both technical and non-technical users
• 30% Architecture, Technical Leadership & Strategy Defines and drives the technical vision, architecture, and long-term evolution of cloud platform products supporting agentic workloads
  
  Leads the design of secure, scalable, resilient platform capabilities on Google Cloud and GKE that serve both engineering and non-engineering users
  
  Establishes architectural standards, engineering patterns, and governance guardrails (security, compliance, cost) that make safe self-service the default
  
  Leads design reviews, architecture reviews, and technical deep dives, and participates in enterprise review boards to drive consistency
  
  Partners with Enterprise Architecture, Security, and Platform Reliability Engineering to ensure solutions meet enterprise standards
  
  Leads evaluation and adoption of emerging technologies in AI infrastructure, LLM gateways, agent runtimes, MCP/tool integration, model serving, and orchestration
  
  Serves as a trusted technical advisor to the Software Engineer Manager and product leadership on roadmap feasibility, sequencing, and technical risk
• 15% Reliability, Support & Operational Excellence Partners with Platform Reliability Engineering to define SLOs, observability, alerting, runbooks, and on-call readiness for every product before and after launch
  
  Serves as the technical escalation point and leads technical response for complex production incidents
  
  Drives root cause analysis and makes sure systemic fixes are prioritized and delivered
  
  Designs platforms with supportability, scalability, and cost efficiency built in from the start
  
  Supports highly available 24x7 retail operations
• 15% Mentorship & Engineering Excellence Mentors and develops engineers through technical coaching, design guidance, code reviews, and pairing, with the explicit goal of growing their ability to deliver independently
  
  Raises engineering standards for quality, maintainability, security, and operational excellence across the team Delegates meaningful technical ownership to grow other engineers into technical leaders
  
  Fosters communities of practice in cloud-native development, agentic AI, and platform engineering
  
  Advocates for continuous learning and hands-on experimentation with emerging technologies
