Led platform or infrastructure teams before, with experience managing engineers on CI/CD, build systems, testing frameworks, developer tooling, or platform infrastructure.
Understands the needs of product engineers and builds scalable tooling; skilled at gathering feedback, understanding workflows, and prioritizing high-impact tooling.
Technical depth in delivery and reliability, including modern CI/CD architectures, artifact management, automated testing systems, and supply chain security tooling; can guide tradeoffs and clarify ambiguous infrastructure problems.
Strong cross-team alignment and communication, collaborating with engineering leaders to surface insights and prioritize shared platform needs with clear tradeoffs.
Requirements:
Lead a high-performing Release Engineering team: recruit, mentor, and support engineers while fostering a healthy, collaborative, and impactful team environment.
Improve software delivery reliability and consistency: evolve CI/CD systems to be faster, more secure, more observable, and easier to extend and operate.
Modernize testing and validation platforms: decouple tightly coupled testing systems, improve reliability, and enable distributed contribution across teams.
Strengthen supply chain security: integrate automated safeguards such as artifact signing, policy enforcement, and provenance tracking into the delivery lifecycle.
