Working at the intersection of software development, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering, you will help shape the future of engineering productivity in an AI-driven development landscape. This role offers the opportunity to solve complex technical challenges, influence platform strategy, and empower engineering teams through innovative solutions. You will collaborate with talented engineers in a remote-first environment where ownership, experimentation, and continuous improvement are highly valued.

Accountabilities: Design, build, and maintain internal development platforms, tools, services, and automation that enable engineering teams to ship software efficiently and reliably.

Improve developer experience by creating intuitive self-service workflows, frameworks, and abstractions that encourage best practices while maintaining team autonomy.

Develop and enhance CI/CD systems, deployment workflows, release automation, feature management processes, and infrastructure tooling.

Build scalable infrastructure solutions using modern DevOps practices, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud-native technologies.

Identify engineering pain points, proactively develop solutions, and continuously improve internal platforms based on developer needs.

Support the adoption of AI-powered development tools while ensuring security, reliability, and architectural standards remain strong.

Collaborate with engineers across teams to understand challenges, contribute to technical decisions, and influence platform roadmap priorities.

Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, incident response activities, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Take ownership of major DevOps and DevEx initiatives, driving projects from concept through implementation and delivery.
