About the department: Tech & Data

You will be part of our Technology Platforms organisation, where we create secure, scalable and easy-to-use platform foundations that accelerate delivery across our engineering landscape. Rituals is a fast-growing global company, expected to continue significant expansion in the coming years. This growth requires strong platform foundations that allow teams to deliver consistently, securely and at scale.

Meet the team: Technology Platforms

The Platform Foundations portfolio is delivered by the Cloud Center of Enablement team and the Monitoring & Observability team, consisting of approximately eight platform engineers and a Staff Engineer. Together, they create the reusable platform capabilities that help engineering teams work faster, more safely and with less complexity.

Your role:

In this role, you will own the vision, roadmap and adoption of the Platform Foundations portfolio, which includes the Google Cloud Platform foundations, Enterprise Observability platform, self-service infrastructure provisioning, and platform guardrails related to security, IAM and FinOps.

This is a strategic role at the heart of our shift from a project organisation to a product operating model. You will work closely with Platform Engineers, Staff Engineers, architects and engineering teams across Rituals. By combining product thinking with a strong understanding of cloud, observability and platform engineering, you will help create reusable capabilities that improve developer experience, operational reliability and engineering effectiveness across the organisation.

In this role, you will:

• Define the vision, strategy and roadmap for the Platform Foundations portfolio, including the continued evolution of Cloud Enablement and the establishment of our Enterprise Observability capability.
• Shape Platform Foundations as a platform-as-a-service offering, driving adoption of cloud enablement, observability and self-service capabilities that help teams deliver faster with less complexity.
• Lead the development of the Enterprise Observability vision, operating model and platform experience, helping establish a modern observability capability that scales across Rituals.
• Collaborate with the Staff Engineer Cloud & Observability and platform teams to translate technical strategy into clear priorities, platform capabilities and measurable improvements in developer experience.
• Work closely with fellow Product Owners across Technology Platforms to create a coherent platform experience for users, regardless of which platform capabilities they consume.
• Align stakeholders across Technology Platforms, Architecture, Security and engineering teams, ensuring transparency around priorities, dependencies and trade-offs.
• Use feedback, adoption insights and customer engagement to continuously improve platform capabilities, prioritisation and platform outcomes.
• Act as a product leader within Technology Platforms, championing customer-centric decision making, outcome-driven delivery and strong product practices across the platform organisation.
