• Oversee capacity planning and establish scalable, fitting architectural templates enabling engineering teams to deploy with confidence without needing deep platform expertise.
• Drive the creation of AI-powered platform tools, including intelligent agent-based workflows for managing complex platform modifications and automating recurring site reliability and support tasks.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, and Product teams to synthesize input and prioritize impactful platform initiatives.
• Coach engineers and technical leads, instilling a culture of accountability, inclusion, end-to-end ownership, and iterative learning where setbacks are treated as growth opportunities.
• Communicate effectively across various stakeholders, ranging from strategic discussions to in-depth technical explanations.

Requirements

• 1-2 years of direct management experience in software engineering or technical program management, including team development and performance oversight.
• 3-5 years of practical software development background using languages like Go or Python, focusing on internal developer platforms or productivity tools.
• Strong knowledge of relevant infrastructure and cloud technologies such as Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and distributed systems to inform tooling design.
• Experience with capacity planning and formulating self-service architecture patterns for engineering teams.
• Understanding of Site Reliability Engineering principles with the ability to translate into supportive tooling and automation.
• Proven success leading in dynamic, fast-paced environments with an emphasis on shipping quality software and continuous improvement.
• Experience managing or collaborating with distributed teams operating across multiple time zones.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to navigate complex technical and interpersonal scenarios calmly and thoughtfully.

AI Skills

• Proficiency in leveraging AI tools for planning, prioritization, and translating developer feedback into actionable strategies.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted coding environments such as GitHub Copilot or Cursor for code reviews, documentation, and technical writing.
• Utilization of AI solutions to streamline management and program coordination tasks like updates, meeting syntheses, and communication.
