• Ensure platform services are documented, discoverable, and supportable by downstream teams.

• Partner with stakeholders to align technical direction with business goals and delivery timelines.

• Promote a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and operational excellence across the platform engineering team.

About You:

• 8+ years of experience in backend/platform/data engineering roles, with 2+ years of engineering management experience.

• Strong background in cloud-native infrastructure (preferably AWS), Kubernetes, and DevOps practices.

• Experience leading data engineering teams and guiding architecture and delivery of analytics solutions (e.g., Apache Pinot, Redshift).

• Deep understanding of shared platform services like AuthN/AuthZ, Orchestrators, Payment systems, and API platforms.

• Familiarity with security best practices and compliance standards (SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA).

• Strong stakeholder management, technical program management, and team coaching abilities.

• Track record of delivering scalable, reliable systems and leading cross-functional initiatives.

• Excellent communication, documentation, and decision-making skills.

Bonus Skills (Nice-to-Have):
