About the Role

This platform engineering role involves owning the foundations that product engineers rely on, designing and maintaining systems, tools, and primitives that influence shipping speed, safety, and confidence. The goal is to multiply impact across the engineering organization by turning patterns into platforms and one-off fixes into systems, making it easier for engineers to move quickly and do the right thing by default.

Responsibilities

Own the foundations that product engineers rely on every day, including the systems, tools, and primitives that shape developer workflows, reliability, and velocity
Prioritize work that multiplies impact across the engineering org, turning repeated patterns into platforms and one-off fixes into systems
Develop and evolve a point of view on how engineers should work, then translate that vision into code and durable systems
Operate in messy, fast-moving environments and steadily turn them into something more solid without slowing the team down
Build or own internal platforms, developer tooling, or shared infrastructure that engineers default to
Remove entire classes of errors through better abstractions rather than one-off fixes
Build infrastructure that quietly unlocks faster product work across teams
Become the person other engineers rely on when systems get weird or unclear, and the person leadership turns to when deciding how the platform should evolve next

Requirements

A track record of building and owning foundational systems that other engineers depended on, along with experience living with the consequences of those decisions
The ability to ramp quickly, operate in ambiguity, and make progress without needing problems fully specified up front
An understanding of the tension between ideal solutions and velocity, and the judgment to know when to pursue one over the other
An instinct for leverage, with a preference for systemic fixes over one-off solutions
A clear point of view on how engineers should work, and the drive to turn that into code, tooling, and defaults
Experience working closely with other engineers or teams as an enabler, not just as an implementer
A desire to help define and build the platform's direction, rather than execute against a tightly defined scope and fixed roadmap
Experience building or owning internal platforms, developer tooling, or shared infrastructure
Experience working on agentic systems, LLM platforms, or large-scale data ingestion pipelines
A track record of being the person people go to when systems get weird or unclear
