Full Job Posting
What you bring:
- Proven experience as a Staff Engineer or senior technical leader driving technical strategy and execution across multiple teams.
- Strong systems thinking and product mindset—you treat developers as customers and design solutions that are intuitive, resilient, and maintainable.
- AI-native mindset: experience using and integrating AI/ML into engineering workflows (e.g., AI coding assistants, agentic workflows, intelligent automation), or strong evidence you can ramp quickly.
- Track record of technical leadership without formal authority: mentoring others, leading design reviews, influencing roadmaps, and driving cross-team alignment.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical tradeoffs and build trust with engineers, managers, and partners.
Qualifications:
- 8+ years of experience in software development.
- Strong proficiency in at least one modern language (e.g., Java, Go, C#, Python, TypeScript) and in designing, building, and operating distributed systems in production.
- Deep experience designing and operating modern CI/CD pipelines and release processes, including build, test, deploy, release strategies, rollback, and environment promotion.
- Hands-on experience with developer platforms and SDLC tooling (e.g., GitHub/GitLab, CI/CD systems, Jira/ADO, artifact repositories, secrets management, feature flags).
- Solid understanding of at least one major cloud platform (Azure/AWS/GCP) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation, etc.).
- Strong understanding of security, compliance, and governance concerns for developer platforms (RBAC, auditability, data boundaries).
- Experience with migration and modernization (on-prem → cloud, legacy → modern pipelines, tool consolidation).
- What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
- Experience in platform engineering, SRE, or internal developer platforms.
- Background in large, regulated, or safety-critical environments where security, compliance, and reliability are first-class concerns.
