About You

You are a self-driven, accountable professional who thrives in a fast-moving environment. You operate with an ownership mindset, are comfortable with ambiguity, and focus on solving business problems through automation, data, and process improvement. You are highly collaborative, detail-oriented, and motivated by measurable impact.

As a Staff Platform Engineer, you will lead the design and delivery of critical platform capabilities used across multiple product teams and ARTs. This is a hands-on technical leadership role — you will write production code, drive architecture in your domains, and lead execution of strategic platform initiatives.

You will operate at the intersection of deep engineering and cross-team enablement: turning organizational needs into scalable platform solutions, setting technical standards through implementation, and increasing adoption through practical developer experience improvements.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead Platform Domain Architecture — Own architecture decisions for key platform domains such as CI/CD templates, infrastructure automation, observability, developer portals, and self-service workflows.
• Deliver Cross-Team Platform Initiatives — Drive end-to-end implementation of initiatives spanning multiple teams, balancing velocity, reliability, security, and long-term maintainability.
• Build High-Leverage Systems — Write production-quality code for critical platform systems including pipeline frameworks, internal APIs, automation services, and deployment orchestration.
• Raise Engineering Standards — Establish and enforce quality standards for design, testing, observability, and operational readiness across platform code and templates.
• Mentor and Multiply Impact — Coach Senior and Mid-level engineers through design reviews, pairing, and technical guidance to improve team capability and execution.
• Partner on Roadmap and Prioritization — Collaborate with the Director, Principal engineers, and product teams to shape platform priorities based on business goals and engineering pain points.
• Improve Developer Experience at Scale — Identify friction in developer workflows and deliver self-service capabilities that reduce cognitive load and accelerate delivery.
• Evaluate Emerging Technologies Pragmatically — Assess and introduce new tools and patterns (e.g., AI-assisted engineering workflows, platform automation enhancements) where they provide measurable value.
