About the Role:

Responsibilities:

  • Architecture & Scale: Own and evolve distributed systems architecture for platform services, ensuring they're reliable, extensible, and performant under enterprise-scale load.
  • Cost & Efficiency: Drive continuous cost optimization initiatives across cloud infrastructure without compromising reliability or performance - with measurable, sustained impact.
  • Execution & Delivery: Own roadmap planning, estimation, and predictable delivery for the platform team, balancing tech debt, new capabilities, and operational stability.
  • Reliability & Operations: Establish strong observability and incident management practices; ensure the team can detect, diagnose, and resolve issues quickly, and drive blameless postmortems that lead to real fixes.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making: Use metrics and data to prioritize, evaluate trade-offs, and report on platform health, cost, and team performance.
  • People & Culture: Hire, mentor, and grow engineers; set technical standards; build a culture of ownership and craftsmanship within the team.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with product engineering teams, SRE/infra, security, and leadership to align platform capabilities with organizational needs.
  • Communication: Represent the platform team's priorities, risks, and progress clearly to engineering leadership and stakeholders across the org.

Requirements:

  • 10+ years of overall software engineering experience, including at least 2+ years in a Software Development Manager (or equivalent) role.
  • Expert-level proficiency in either Go, Python or Nodejs.
  • Prior experience managing a platform team, or having worked as an individual contributor on platform teams for at least 3+ years, at enterprise scale.
  • Strong hands-on orientation - comfortable reviewing code, debugging production issues, and going deep on architecture, not just managing processes. Candidates in a purely managerial (non-hands-on) role for the last 1+ year will not be considered a fit.
  • Deep, practical experience with GCP and/or AWS service management - provisioning, scaling, IAM, networking, and cost governance.
  • Demonstrated track record of driving cost optimization initiatives in an enterprise cloud environment, with measurable results.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems architecture - consistency, availability, fault tolerance, scaling patterns, and trade-offs at scale.
  • Strong observability fundamentals - hands-on experience with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, or equivalent, and a track record of building observability into systems from the ground up.
  • A data-driven approach to decision-making, prioritization, and performance reporting.
  • Proven experience in roadmap planning, estimation, and delivering complex initiatives on time.
  • Strong people management skills - hiring, mentoring, performance management - combined with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, product, and security teams.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • AI-first mindset - actively using AI tools in engineering workflows in recent years; experience building or integrating agent-driven systems is a strong plus.

What You'll Lead:

  • A team of platform engineers building and operating shared services, internal platforms, and infrastructure used across multiple product lines.
  • Cloud infrastructure and service management across GCP/AWS, including provisioning, scaling, security, and cost governance.
  • Observability strategy - metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting - so the org has clear visibility into system health and performance.
  • Adoption of AI-driven engineering practices, including exploring agentic workflows and AI-assisted tooling to improve developer velocity and platform automation.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
