Requirements

You will conceptualize and own technical solutions end-to-end. Organizing effective groups of engineers to brainstorm, design and deliver impactful work.
You will invest in experimenting and building platform solutions that improve the developer experience for all product teams.
Your scope will include everything from how software components are built, tested, deployed, released and monitored across all environments, from the local machine straight through to our production clusters.
You will foster relationships and work closely with product teams to support them through platform specific migrations. Learn from and understand the challenges they face so that you can translate them into result-oriented solutions that help improve the reliability of the platform.
You will also spend time teaching engineers (especially new joiners) how to use our tools, whether by giving internal talks, organizing internal onboarding workshops or writing documentation and tutorials.
You will help your team manage technical debt, refactor existing solutions, and introduce and improve the team’s approach to principles and processes such as system architecture, design patterns, coding principles and code review.
You will use your existing experience to help drive the platform forward with new ideas and strategies that help maintain the quality, reliability, security, performance and cost effectiveness of the product and platform.
