Résumé du poste

Volta is seeking a hands-on Platform Engineering leader to own reliability, observability, and security across a Kubernetes-native compute platform.

You will lead a team, set technical direction, and translate product requirements into scalable platform features while collaborating with security and cross-team leads. This role requires 5+ years in cloud platform engineering and a proven ability to mentor engineers across time zones.

Responsabilités

• Lead a platform engineering team: technical direction, design reviews, code review, and day-to-day delivery.
• Set the technical direction for your team's area of the stack, and design and build the platform layers it owns as product requirements take shape.
• Represent platform engineering in roadmap planning: translate product requirements into scoped, sequenced technical work, communicate trade-offs, and keep delivery on track.
• Work closely with the bring-up teams to surface operational pain points and turn them into scalable platform features.
• Collaborate with the security engineering team to integrate security guidance at the platform layer and ensure findings are remediated effectively.
• Coordinate with the other platform engineering leads on shared architecture, joint initiatives, and cross-team and cross-timezone delivery.
• Own reliability, observability, security, and interface and versioning standards for the services your team ships.
• Stay hands‑on: take on complex or high‑risk engineering work directly alongside the team.
• Run post‑mortems and close structural gaps after incidents, not just the immediate issue.
• Manage the team: 1:1s, performance conversations, hiring interviews, and onboarding.
