Platform Team Mission

Our mission is to improve developer experience by providing tools, workflows, and infrastructure that simplify tasks, freeing engineers from cognitive load and enabling them to focus on their primary responsibilities. Our platform is the internal foundation of tools, services, and infrastructure that empowers product teams to build, deploy, and operate applications efficiently, securely, and at scale. We want to establish our platform as a product in the company, product teams are our customers and we aim to be user-centric on all levels.

We strive to optimize resource utilization and lower development complexity. Furthermore, we aim to implement standardization and guarantee security compliance across the organization.

• Continuously gather developer feedback, translate insights into features, and define metrics (e.g., adoption, deployment speed, developer satisfaction) to measure success

• Drive change management and communication when rolling out new platform features or standards, ensuring product teams understand the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind changes

• Develop comprehensive documentation and training resources to encourage the widespread use of the platform

• Align with leadership on platform strategy and security posture and collaborate closely with engineering teams and other enabling teams and stakeholders

• Align necessary topics with our mobile device management team

• Act as a technical sparring partner for our product owners

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to communicate with both technical and non-technical audiences
