  • Ensure critical infrastructure issues are identified, tracked through resolution, and escalated appropriately, creatively addressing complex problems and managing risks at both project and cross-portfolio levels
  • Manage daily/weekly project communication and status reporting for complex platform initiatives
  • Coach distributed teams and cross-functional partners on frameworks and shared accountability, synthesizing complex portfolio insights to drive aligned, executable outcomes across the organization
  • Build AI-powered dashboards and automated reporting systems using Claude skills and agentic workflows for project monitoring and program insights
  • Create intelligent integrations between Jira, GitLab, monitoring tools, and build systems that surface platform health and program risks automatically
  • Design AI-enhanced workflows that automate routine program management tasks while improving visibility into sensor platform engineering programs, freeing time for strategic stakeholder management, creative problem-solving, and relationship building

Requirements

  • 7 + or 10+ years managing complex platform engineering and infrastructure programs with 100+ engineers
