What you'll be doing
Set technical direction for major platform areas, leading the architecture, roadmap, and long-term health across multiple product cycles
Design and lead infrastructure initiatives that span team boundaries, building alignment with firmware, hardware, and business partners
Own platform reliability: define SLIs and SLOs, instrument what isn't measured today, cut MTTR, and automate the incident response when the platform breaks
Find the automation opportunities nobody has asked for yet, make the case for it and deliver
Architect and invent AI-powered workflows that multiply everyone's output
Set the technical bar through design review, technical writing, and mentoring, so the team makes better decisions without you in the room
What we need to see
BS or MS degree in EE/CS/CE (or equivalent experience)
12+ years of infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or SRE engineering
Deep expertise in modern CI/CD and test automation architecture: pipeline design, build system internals, caching, testing frameworks, and the failure modes for architectures that only appear at scale
Strong Python fluency, infrastructure-as-code experience, and scripting ability
History in distributed systems, cloud or on-prem compute fleets, containers, and orchestration (K8s or equivalent)
Strong understanding of database concepts, schema design, object modeling, SQL or non-SQL
Past ownership of cross-org production system(s) and all the lessons you've learned from supporting them
Outstanding communication, leading, and teaching skills: the ability to articulate WHY a solution is correct, write clear requirements, review critically, and guide others to understanding
History of growing other engineers, formally or informally
Ways to stand out from the crowd
Sense of humor heavily encouraged, but not required
Track record of writing technical proposals, design docs, or architecture decisions that others have acted on independently
Experience using AI-assisted development tools: knowing when to trust, when to verify, and when to throw away the output
Experience in developing device BIOS, firmware, or other low-level embedded software
