We are seeking a Platform Engineering Lead to drive the evolution of our internal platform, ensuring scalability, reliability, security, and an outstanding developer experience. This is a hands-on leadership role that will influence the entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), shape infrastructure and automation strategies, and mentor a high-performing team working across DevOps, DevSecOps, SRE, and developer enablement.

As a senior technical leader, you’ll design and implement cloud-native systems, promote DevSecOps practices, and champion continuous improvement in how we build, test, ship, and operate software.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and scale a cross-functional team of platform engineers, DevOps, and DevSecOps professionals, fostering technical excellence and personal growth.
• Design and optimize cloud infrastructure (AWS, OCI) using modern IaC tools like Terraform, Pulumi, Helm, and ArgoCD to support highly available, secure, and cost-efficient systems.
• Streamline CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Gitlab, and integrate automated testing, SAST/SCA, and policy controls to enable safe, fast delivery.
• Own the SDLC platform experience, implementing internal developer portals, GitOps workflows, and self-service infrastructure to boost developer productivity.
• Drive observability and resilience, introducing best practices in monitoring, alerting, chaos testing, and incident response.
• Collaborate with security and compliance teams to ensure infrastructure and SDLC meet high standards.
• Engage with R&D leaders to deeply understand product needs, align platform initiatives with business goals, and reduce time-to-value.
  
  

• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles, with at least 3 years in a leadership position.
• Proven track record in building and operating large-scale cloud infrastructure (AWS/OCI).
• Experience leading developer platform or DevEx initiatives: developer onboarding, internal tooling, portal design, feedback loops.
• Deep familiarity with CI/CD automation, GitOps, security scanning tools, and release strategies (blue-green, canary, etc.).
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives, mentor engineers, and define platform engineering strategy.
• Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi), scripting (Python, Bash, Groovy), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and monitoring stacks (Prometheus, ELK, etc.).
  
  

• Experience in developer-first or product-focused platform teams.
• Exposure to GenAI integration in developer workflows or platform automation.
• Background in consulting, coaching, or driving adoption of platform strategies in complex R&D environments.
• Passion for left-shifting quality and security into the development pipeline.
