Job summary

GE Aerospace is seeking a Director of Infrastructure & Platform to lead a team that builds secure, scalable environments and a governed platform (the golden path) for Defense & Systems software delivery. You will own the operating model, roadmap, and service standards, driving delivery quality and cost efficiency across cloud, on-prem, and edge contexts.

The role demands strategic leadership, collaboration with Cyber Security, and a track record of building platform products that reduce

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college with a minimum of 7 years of professional experience OR Associate's degree with a minimum of 10 years of professional experience OR High School Diploma with a minimum of 12 years of professional experience.
• Minimum 6 years of professional experience in Infrastructure & Platform Engineering or IT.
• Minimum 3 years of experience leading technical teams.

• Own the team’s performance and development; build a culture of ownership, flow, and continuous improvement
• Identify and remove obstacles on behalf of the team, and coach problem-solving at the point of work
• Own and mandate a single golden-path delivery pipeline — CI/CD, environments, and shared services — that all product teams adopt, and govern the exception process when a team cannot
• Operate the platform as a product: a named backlog, a published roadmap, and service standards for availability, support, change management, and SLAs
• Establish how platform change is requested, prioritized, approved, and released, and make that governance visible to the teams it affects
• Partner with Cyber Security to build security best practice into the platform by default, and scope the DevSecOps capability gap as an explicit Phase 2 headcount ask
• Ensure secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments in a defense context
• Set the operating rhythm — daily management, WOR, and MOR — that keeps reliability and delivery managed, not merely reported
• Partner with the four product-development software teams so the platform meets their current needs and anticipates their future ones
• Represent Infrastructure & Platform in the Tech Ops leadership cadence and align the platform roadmap to the enterprise and CDAIO baseline
• Partner with the Director, Architecture & Data so platform patterns and architecture guardrails stay coupled
