InvestCloud is seeking a Director of Platform Engineering to own the strategy, roadmap, and execution of our shared platform capabilities across on-prem and AWS. You will lead a team of platform engineers and managers responsible for core platform services, AWS architecture, and IaC, while guiding the shift of operations to Bangalore.

This hands-on leadership role combines strategy with hands-on design and implementation.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in multi-team or multi-region leadership roles, including managing managers and/or large platform charters.
  • Demonstrated ownership of platform roadmaps and measurable improvements in reliability, delivery speed, and/or cost.

Responsibilities

  • Own the multi-year platform engineering strategy and roadmap, aligned to Tech Operations, Product, and business priorities.
  • Define and maintain platform standards, reference architectures, and guardrails for application delivery, CI/CD, infrastructure, networking, and access.
  • Chair or co-chair platform architecture and change forums for high-impact initiatives, including major AWS changes, CI/CD upgrades, GitLab/Artifactory patterns, and edge and ingress models.
  • Evaluate and steer adoption of key platform technologies, including AWS services, GitLab, Terraform, and observability tooling, balancing reliability, security, and cost.
  • Lead AWS platform architecture for shared services and application workloads, including multi-account structure, landing zones, environment segmentation, shared services, centralized logging, and security.
  • Guide teams in designing and implementing solutions on AWS, including networking, IAM, core services, and edge patterns.
  • Partner with Server Ops and Network Engineering on hybrid patterns spanning on-prem data centers, Kubernetes clusters, and cloud-native services.
  • Work with FinOps and Finance to support capacity planning, cost visibility, and optimization for platform services.
  • Drive standardization on IaC frameworks, primarily Terraform, for AWS and platform components, including opinionated modules, versioning, and governance.
  • Ensure CI/CD pipelines, such as GitLab or equivalent, support secure, consistent delivery of infrastructure and application changes across environments.
  • Promote automation-first approaches for provisioning, configuration, and change execution, reducing manual work and operational risk.
  • Define and enforce patterns for configuration management, secrets management, and policy-as-code in the platform stack.
  • Provide leadership over core platform operations, including environment lifecycle and configuration, platform change management, and on-call integration.
