The Cvent Development Framework (CDF) sits within Platform Engineering and provides core web application frameworks, components, and tooling that product teams use to build planner‑side experiences. CDF owns

• Shared frameworks and libraries used across Cvent applications
• Cross‑cutting platform components and APIs (e.g., navigation, environments, analytics, app configuration)
• Tooling, documentation, and “paved‑road” patterns that help teams build, test, and deploy reliably

CDF operates as a global organization, with teams spanning India and other regions. Manage a CDF sprint team responsible for core framework and platform capabilities used by many Cvent product teams. This role combines people leadership, technical project management, and hands‑on platform work.

As part of onboarding, you are expected to operate primarily as an individual contributor for your first ~6 months—designing, building, and operating CDF frameworks and services. This ramp period deepens your domain understanding, strengthens collaboration with the Architect/Tech Leads, and builds credibility with the team before you shift into a heavier management mix.

You will be accountable for team performance, predictable delivery, and the professional growth of your direct reports, while ensuring CDF gives downstream teams a fast, safe “paved road” for building planner‑side experiences.
