Head of Platform Engineering

About Bizee 

Bizee (formerly Incfile) has helped more than one million entrepreneurs start and manage their businesses. Now we’re evolving from a formation service into an AI-powered Operating System for Entrepreneurs, built to connect ambition to action through intelligent systems that simplify complexity, anticipate needs, and give founders the freedom to build faster.

We move fast, stay close to the customer, and focus relentlessly on building what matters. We build with heart, hustle, grit, and humility, the same qualities that define the entrepreneurs we serve.

The Opportunity

As Head of Platform Engineering, you will build the technical foundation that powers Bizee’s evolution into an AI-driven Entrepreneur Operating System. This is a strategic, transformational role responsible for modernizing our core platform moving from legacy patterns to a modular, API-first, event-driven architecture that accelerates product velocity, improves reliability, and enables a future partner ecosystem.

You will lead the engineering teams responsible for the infrastructure, services, tooling, modular components, and internal platforms that support all product squads.

This role requires a systems thinker who can balance execution with architectural vision and who knows how to scale platforms for long-term extensibility, performance, and intelligence.

Requirements

What You’ll Lead

Platform Modernization & Architecture

• Lead the transition to a scalable, modular, API-first platform that supports rapid product development, AI-driven workflows, and partner integrations.
  
• Design and maintain platform services, shared components, internal APIs, and event-driven systems that enable clarity, resilience, and extensibility.
  
• Establish architectural standards, patterns, and guardrails that guide all product engineering teams.

Infrastructure, Reliability & Observability

• Build reliable, secure, and observable infrastructure that supports scale, performance, and high availability.
  
• Evolve CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and internal platforms to improve engineering efficiency.
  
• Own systems that support real-time processing, automation, and future machine learning workloads.

Developer Experience & Multi-Squad Enablement:

• Create the internal tooling and platforms that make engineering faster, safer, and more predictable across multiple product squads.
  
• Reduce friction, eliminate operational overhead, and enable teams to ship with confidence.
  
• Ensure platform services are well-documented, easy to adopt, and grounded in strong developer ergonomics.

API Strategy & Partner Ecosystem Enablement:

• Work with the CTO to design and publish APIs that support both internal product teams and future external partners.
  
• Ensure APIs are scalable, consistent, discoverable, and built for long-term extensibility.
  
• Lay the technical groundwork for Bizee’s partner and channel ecosystem.

Leadership & Team Building:

• Build and lead a high-performing Platform Engineering organization.
  
• Hire, mentor, and develop engineers; establish clear ownership, rituals, and accountability.
  
• Drive a culture of craftsmanship, curiosity, iteration, and high performance.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner closely with Product, Data, Growth, Finance, and Operations to ensure platform decisions align with business goals.
  
• Translate technical constraints and opportunities into clear business impact.
  
• Act as a strategic partner in shaping the direction, velocity, and execution of the product roadmap.

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years in engineering, with significant experience leading platform, infrastructure, or backend systems at scale.
  
• Proven success modernizing legacy architectures into modular, service-oriented, or event-driven systems.
  
• Strong technical fluency in distributed systems, APIs, infrastructure, cloud platforms, and developer tooling.
  
• Experience supporting AI/ML, workflow automation, or real-time event pipelines (preferred but not required).
  
• Demonstrated ability to build high-performing teams and drive engineering excellence.
  
• A systems thinker who simplifies complexity and builds for both speed and long-term extensibility.
  
• Cultural alignment with Bizee: Heart, Hustle, Grit, Humility, and No Fluff.
