We’re looking for someone who: ✔ Has led a product-focused platform/SRE/internal developer platform, with verified results (e.g., usage rates, developer satisfaction scores above the global mean, cost savings). ✔ Applies a product mindset—your success is measured through real-world behavior change (e.g., uptake of policies, features, etc. not just functional docs). ✔ Stand out in cloud platforms—familiar with:
- Landing Zone models
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling
- Open policy frameworks (Policy-as-Code,SPF, gatekeeper, etc.)
- Balance technical acumen with stakeholder management—ball in play at both engineerFactory level led-to director level. ✔ Practice discovery as “discovery”—not just gathering requirements, but putting the right problem first while balancing tradeoffs. ✔ Agile philosophy beyond the buzzword—you adapt course—but you know when ‘shippable’ is a process and, more important, when it gotta ship! ✔ Works at the intersection of teams—engineering decisions require strong technical ownership all the way up to strategic (business) alignment.
