Responsibilities

• Lead and grow a team of Platform and DevOps engineers. Set direction, coach, hire, and stay hands-on for part of your week
• Own our AWS platform end-to-end: infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, CI/CD, environments, observability, incident response, and cloud cost
• Lead the practice of Agentic Software Development Lifecycle (ASDLC) to ensure these AI tools remain safe, aligned, and continuously improving
• Make automated verification standard by enabling product teams to release with embedded tests across web and mobile
• Deliver deployment environments and CI pipelines that keep pace with agent-generated change

• You have deep knowledge in AWS, infrastructure as code (Terraform), Kubernetes, and Postgres, with production experience operating a large web and mobile application surface area
• You have experience putting coding agents and LLM tooling to work in a real software lifecycle: CI integration, evaluation, guardrails, and cost control
• You have improved how an engineering org adopts them
• You have a grounded view on CI/CD, know what a regression suite platform should cover, how to keep it fast and trusted, and how to help engineers move from manual to automated testing
• You are fluent in delivery and reliability metrics and able to use them to coach a team rather than rank people
• You are a clear writer who builds alignment through proposals and decision records in a remote and asynchronous company
• You are curious and experimental with new tools, with a track record of independently adopting generative AI to accelerate your own work and your team's
