📋 Description

• Lead Developer Platform Strategy: Define and drive the vision for internal infrastructure platforms that abstract away complexity and maximize developer velocity. • Own Self-Service Infrastructure: Architect and implement tools, APIs, and UI/CLI workflows that allow developers to provision and manage infrastructure without needing to write Terraform or YAML. • Scale EKS Platforms: Own the architecture and lifecycle of secure, multi-tenant AWS EKS clusters optimized for internal platform use, including provisioning, policy, networking, and cost control. • Codify Best Practices: Design reusable infrastructure blueprints and opinionated defaults that encode security, scalability, and compliance into the platform. • Build Developer Tooling: Develop platform SDKs, CLIs, and service templates that make infrastructure consumption intuitive and consistent across teams. • Cross-Team Leadership: Partner with application teams, security, and SREs to align platform capabilities with engineering needs and business priorities. • Mentor & Uplevel the Org: Act as a technical mentor across engineering, influencing architectural decisions, platform usage, and DevEx best practices. • Measure & Iterate: Instrument the platform with metrics, collect feedback, and continuously improve adoption, performance, and usability.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in infrastructure, SRE/DevOps, or platform engineering roles, with at least 2 years in a senior or technical ownership position driving cross-team initiatives or high-impact platform projects. • Deep expertise in AWS, particularly EKS, IAM, networking, and container-native services. • Proven experience designing and operating internal developer platforms and self-service infrastructure solutions. • Strong programming skills in Python or Go - comfortable building production-grade services, tools, and APIs. • Practical understanding of infrastructure-as-code and GitOps workflows - especially Terraform and Helm - even if the goal is to abstract them. • Experience with platform frameworks like Backstage, Port, or building custom developer portals. • Strong systems thinking and architectural skills - capable of balancing long-term vision with short-term needs. • Comfortable navigating ambiguity, influencing stakeholders, and aligning platform initiatives with business and engineering priorities. • Strong written and verbal communication skills with a product-minded approach to infrastructure.
