• You’ll be accountable for your team’s health and execution, translating broader platform strategy into concrete, achievable work for your team
• Guide the technical direction for your team’s area of ownership within the CI, build and artifact management - helping shape design decisions on pipelines, optimizations, or automation
• Identify opportunities to modernize workflows and reduce friction in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), and help drive adoption of new platform capabilities across internal teams
• Uphold standards for reliability, performance, and security within your team’s scope, balancing high-availability requirements with developer experience
• Break down roadmap priorities into clear, actionable plans for your team, and track relevant business metrics (e.g. CI reliability, build time, artifactory latency)
• Manage day-to-day execution, including technical debt tradeoffs and unblocking your team to hit measurable outcomes
• Grow and support your team members directly - regular 1:1s, mentorship, and fostering ownership and collaboration within the team

• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, or similar
• Champion of using automation and AI to reduce toil and improve velocity and quality
• Comfortable defining, tracking and continuously improving business metrics (reliability, velocity, quality) for your team
• Working knowledge of cloud platforms, containerization and modern CI / build practices such as GitHub Actions, JFrog Artifactory, Bazel, or similar
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years directly managing engineers on platform, infrastructure, or internal developer teams
• Working knowledge or hands-on experience with Kubernetes
• Hands-on experience building or operating CI, build or artifact platforms at scale - CI pipelines, release automation, build systems, or artifact management
• Solid understanding of SDLC practices, code review workflows, and branching/release strategies (e.g., trunk-based development)
• Clear communicator, able to represent your team’s work and technical tradeoffs to both engineers and cross-functional stakeholders
• Experience managing and mentoring engineers with a track record of supporting individual growth and team execution
• Familiarity with DORA metrics and delivery performance measurement
• Background in regulated or security-sensitive environments
• Exposure to supply-chain security and compliance
• Experience managing engineers in a distributed environment
