Responsibilities

8+ years of professional software/platform engineering experience, including at least 3+ years directly managing engineers at Senior or Staff level within a platform, infrastructure, or SRE organization at a product-centric company.
Enough hands-on depth to be technically credible with Staff+ engineers: comfortable reasoning about cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), Infrastructure as Code (CDK, Terraform, or similar), Kubernetes-based production systems, CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, ArgoCD, or similar), and service-to-service architecture even where you are not the deepest expert in a given domain.
A track record of creating leverage from highly autonomous senior engineers through context, challenge, feedback, and development not task management. Comfortable managing people with greater domain expertise than your own.
Experience translating company and engineering priorities into a coherent platform roadmap: distinguishing systemic problems from one-off requests, protecting foundational investment, and making the resulting tradeoffs and opportunity costs visible to your manager and stakeholders.
Experience balancing planned roadmap work against KTLO, incidents, and unplanned operational demand — establishing ownership and lightweight process without becoming the team's project manager.
Comfortable partnering with senior technical ICs as complementary leaders rather than competing for authority or abdicating technical judgment to them.
Strong written and verbal communication, tailored to a variety of audiences from your engineers, to your own manager, to domain teams across engineering.
A strategic thinker with a product-first approach and customer obsession, comfortable making nuanced tradeoffs about which technical investments are appropriate at the company's current stage.
You've managed a newly-formed or recently-restructured team, including ramping new senior hires into ownership.
You work at, or have worked at, a technology startup and are familiar with the challenges of evolving platform maturity.
