Operations and Reliability

  • Establishes and tracks SLIs, SLOs, and operational metrics.
  • Ensures strong observability, on call readiness, and clear runbooks.
  • Drives continuous improvement in reliability, resiliency, and operational maturity.

People and Organizational Leadership

  • Manages, mentors, and develops engineering managers and senior engineers.
  • Builds an inclusive, high trust team culture focused on ownership, accountability, and continuous learning.
  • Sets clear goals, expectations, and career development paths aligned with platform outcomes and organizational priorities.

Cross Functional Partnership

  • Works closely with security, risk, compliance, and data teams to ensure eventing platforms meet regulatory, privacy, and audit requirements.
  • Partners with product engineering teams to support onboarding, migrations, and best practices for event driven architectures.
  • Communicates platform strategy, roadmap, and outcomes to senior leadership.

Experience you'll bring

  • Proven experience leading engineering teams responsible for large scale distributed systems or platform services.
  • Deep knowledge of Kafka and event streaming ecosystems, including security, operations, and multi tenant platforms.
  • Strong understanding of cloud native platforms, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code.
  • Experience operating platforms as products with a focus on customer experience, reliability, and adoption.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills with the ability to influence across organizations.

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.
