• Experience building and operating large-scale services on a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Strong understanding of cloud-native applications and Kubernetes architecture.
• Proven ability to influence technical decision-making and lead complex projects.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Deep experience with modern, large-scale platform components and services (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, internal developer portals, service meshes).
• Expertise in OpenTelemetry (OTel) or other observability tools, with a strong understanding of how they fit into a broader platform strategy.
• Experience architecting and executing a large-scale migration between major platform components or systems.
• Familiarity with building AI-driven operational tools, leveraging LLMs for tasks like log summarization or creating agentic workflows for automation.
• A deep understanding of one or more of these domains:
• Designing and implementing systems that drive productivity, scalability, and quality across an entire engineering organization.
• Managing the full lifecycle of an internal developer platform as a product, from API design to driving user adoption.
