The Opportunity

We're seeking a Director of Engineering to lead our Platform & DevOps organization. You will define the platform strategy and oversee a large team delivering secure, reliable, cost-efficient, developer-friendly platforms: CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes/EKS, observability, and security-by-default. You'll set multi-quarter roadmaps and OKRs, own budgets and vendor relationships, and partner closely with Product, Security, Data, and DevOps leadership to create paved roads that accelerate the entire engineering org.

Responsibilities
Org Leadership & Talent
  • Build and lead a large team organization (tech leads and engineers); attract, develop, and retain top talent.
  • Define career ladders, succession plans, and healthy on-call practices; ensure sustainable delivery and team health.
  • Champion a culture of ownership, inclusion, and continuous improvement (blameless postmortems, strategic retention).
Strategy, Portfolio & Governance
  • Own the Platform & DevOps strategy and multi-quarter roadmap; align to company goals and product timelines.
  • Define portfolio governance: intake, prioritization, and trade-offs across security, reliability, developer experience, and cost.
  • Establish org-wide guardrails (golden paths, reference architectures, policy-as-code) enabling autonomy with compliance.
Platform Architecture & Governance
  • Set technical direction for build/release, infrastructure automation, Kubernetes/EKS runtime, and observability.
  • Establish guardrails (golden paths, templates, policy-as-code, org standards) to enable autonomy with compliance.
  • Drive cost, performance, and availability improvements; own platform budgets/forecasts and FinOps practices.
DevOps & Security
  • Standardize CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins or similar), artifact signing, progressive delivery.
  • Enforce security-by-design: SCA/SAST/DAST in pipelines, secrets management, least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, runtime hardening.
  • Lead remediation SLAs with Security; maintain audit-ready evidence for enterprise standards and regulations.
Cloud Infrastructure & Reliability
  • Direct the design/operations of secure AWS platforms using IaC (Terraform/Pulumi) with drift detection and change controls.
  • Oversee EKS/Kubernetes multi-cluster/multi-region strategy, capacity planning, and resiliency patterns.
  • Define SLOs/error budgets and ensure effective incident response, post-incident learning, and reliability investments.
Communication, Documentation & Change Management
  • Publish clear reference architectures, runbooks, and standards; keep documentation current and discoverable.
Communicate priorities, trade-offs, and status to execs and cross-functional partners; influence with data.

Requirements:
  • Bachelor's in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience
  • 12+ years total experience in Platform/SRE/DevOps/Infrastructure, including 5+ years leading tech leads or multiple teams.
  • Proven track record delivering secure, reliable, cross-team platforms serving many product squads.
  • Experience with SOC2 compliance.
  • Strong Linux, networking, and troubleshooting fundamentals.
  • Proficiency in Python/Bash; automation around CI/CD, infra, and operations.
  • Deep AWS experience (EKS/ECS/EC2/RDS/DocumentDB/DynamoDB, IAM, VPC, security groups) and Kubernetes in AWS.
  • IaC expertise (Terraform preferred; Pulumi a plus) with sound practices (modularity, versioning, policy checks, drift detection).
  • Observability at scale (logs/metrics/traces, alerting design, SLOs) and incident management/command skills.
  • Security leadership across build/deploy/runtime; RBAC/ABAC and identity standards (OAuth, SAML, OIDC); secrets management.
  • Executive communication; portfolio management; budget/FinOps ownership.
Preferred
  • AWS DevOps Engineer - Professional and/or AWS Solutions Architect (Assoc/Pro).
  • Experience with data/streaming platforms (e.g., Databricks/Kafka) or edge/low-latency systems.
  • Vendor consolidation and contract negotiation experience.
