As a senior platform leader and modernization catalyst on the Platform Engineering / Infrastructure Services team, you will lead the implementation of complex, business‑critical infrastructure and automation in a high‑scale, high‑uptime, high‑security environment.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead the design and implementation of secure, scalable cloud foundations and shared services (networking, identity, compute, storage, and runtime enablement) that accelerate product delivery.
• Establish and evolve enterprise best practices, golden paths, and reference architectures for Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, environment provisioning, and policy‑as‑code.
• Influence platform strategy and roadmap, partner with engineering and business leaders to shape priorities, estimate and plan work, and deliver measurable improvements in uptime, performance, and cost efficiency.
• Drive modernization of platform operations through observability standards, resilient design, and automation that reduces toil and improves incident response outcomes.
• Lead through action in requirements analysis, systems design, secure configuration, code quality, test automation, and documentation for platform components and tooling.
• Champion operational efficiencies and cost optimization (Fin Ops practices where applicable), including right‑sizing, capacity planning, and vendor/technology evaluations.
• Engage vendors and internal partners as needed (security reviews, support engagements, roadmap input) to ensure platform technologies meet reliability, security, and compliance needs.
• Continuously review industry trends and emerging technologies; responsibly incorporate improvements (including AI‑accelerated workflows where appropriate) to modernize how we build and operate the platform.

Education:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field.

Experience:

• Infrastructure as Code & configuration management (Terraform and/or Ansible) with disciplined change control and automation.
• Git‑based workflows (Git Hub or Git Lab), frequent incremental changes, testing, and repeatable deployments.
• Experience building and evolving CI/CD and platform enablement tooling (e.g., CircleCI).
• Observability strategy (metrics, logs, traces), incident leadership, root‑cause analysis, driving systemic fixes that reduce toil.
• Security‑by‑design mindset: secure baselines, identity and access patterns, secrets management, alignment with compliance requirements.
• Modernization catalyst: defines platform standards, publishes reference architectures, champions adoption across teams.
• Consultation and communication with engineering and business partners, translation of needs into pragmatic platform roadmaps, driving alignment.
• Mentoring engineers, raising the bar on engineering practices, leading through action on complex initiatives.
• Cost optimization and Fin Ops awareness, vendor engagement where applicable.
