• Empower Developers: Reduce friction in the development lifecycle by optimizing platform response times and ensuring reliable, repeatable deployment events.
• Platform Standards and Security: Embed security and compliance controls directly into platform abstractions - such as policy‑as‑code and networking - to meet regulatory requirements by design.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proficiency in systems programming languages such as Golang, Ruby, or Java.
• Experience building developer platforms, internal tooling, or cloud enablement frameworks.
• Familiarity with modern platform tooling, such as Backstage, Crossplane, Argo, Terraform, or policy‑as‑code frameworks.
• Advanced understanding of SRE practices, including SLIs/SLOs, chaos engineering, and reliability engineering frameworks.
• Experience leveraging AI and automation to augment platform engineering efficiency and improve MTTR.
